Be it known that I, ALBERT AssMANN, of Linden, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Whifdetrees, of which the following is a specification z Figures l and 2v are plan views of my invention, showing it applied to one and two horse vehicles respectively. Fig. 3 is an edge view of one of the whiflietrees.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
This invention relates to an improvement in whifletrees and evener-bars 5 and consists in making` the saine in two pieces, with a coiled spring interposed as a central connecting piece and support. This interposed spring renders the whiffletree or evener-bar elastic, and facilitates the starting of vehicles.` It also enables me to construct the Whiffletree or bar of shorter and less expensive piecespof wood than when the same is made of one continuouslength.
A in the drawing represents my improved whiflietree. (Shown in Fig. 1 to be applied to a Vone-horse vehicle.) It consists of two end pieces, a and b, of wood, and `of a central coiled spring, d,'whose ends are, respectively, fastened to the inner ends of the bars a, b.
The pin or bolt e, which secures this whiffletree to the vehicle, passes through the eye of lthe coil d. The draft, if applied to the ends may be applied tothe evener-bar A", as shown in Fig. 2, or to the whiletrees thereon, or to both. The connecting-spring d I prefer to make double, as in Fig. 3 but it may also be made .single or in larger numbers in each whifetree.
l claim as my invention- A whiftletree composed of the end pieces a b and middle piece c, the piece c being aspring by which the two end pieces c and b are connected, substantially 'as herein shown and described.
ALBERT ASSMANN.
