IMPROVEMENT IN TROTTING-SULKIES.
specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 188,013, dated March 6, 1877 application filed July 10, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
' Be it known that I, DANIEL G. HETFIELD, of the city of Rahway, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented an Improvement in 'irottingSulkies, of which the following is a specification:
The object of my invention is to render the axle-tree of a trotting-sulky more stifi' and stable, without materially adding to its Weight, by means of the additional iron or steel braces a a, which braces are attached to the axle-tree much nearer its center than the usual braces b b, which make the attachment between the shafts or thills and the axle tree. It also consists in the method of connecting the said additional braces on a with the usual braces 12 b at their common junction at the points 0 c on the shafts or thills. The plan view, Figure 1, shows the method of connecting them at their common junction on the shafts or thills. The usual braces b b are attached to the shafts or thills in the usual way, except that each one only occupies one halt' of the width of the shaft. In the inner edges of the braces b b a recess is made, as shown in the drawing, and a projection on each of the additional braces on a fits into them, by means of which the two braces are firmly fastened together at their junction 0 c on the shafts; and as any tendency to spring the axle by any obstruction in the track of the wheel will act in diverse directions on the braces a, a and b b, it follows that the axle will be stiffened to the extent of their divergence from the point 0 0, both being connected to the shafts at a common point, 0 c, and at dift'erents points to the axle, as shown in the plan drawing, Fig. 2.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. In a trotting-sulky, the supplemental braces a 00, attached to the thills and to the axle near its middle, substantially as shown and described.
2. The brace 12, having its inner edge recessed, and the brace at, having a projecting lug adapted to fit such recess, in combination with the thill of a trottingsulky, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.
