y UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CALEB BBINTON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
FU RNITU REFCASTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,335, dated Meren 9, 1880.
Application filed December 26, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CALEB BRIN'ION, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and Stateof Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Furniture-Casters, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, Where- Figure 1 is a front view. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line .r m, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is avertical sectional view of an 0rnamental casing taken on the line a: Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view of a modiiication of the caster; and Fig. 6 is a sectional View of another modification, in which the vertical plate is omitted and the Apintle rigidly attached to the horizontal plate, which is of increased thickness.
The invention consists in a caster intended to be secured to the vertical and bottom sides, or to either of said parts of an article of furniture, and by varying the shape of the attaching-plates may be fastened to the inner or outer side corners of the same. The attaching parts are composed of horizontal and vertical plates With stationary pintle B, as shown in Figs. 2 and 6. When said attaching parts are composed of cast4 metal I prefer to secure the barbed end of the pintle B with said parts by the process ofcasting. The barbs upon the pintle prevent the parts becoming detached in the. process of tumbling the castings or in The pintle B may also be cast to constitute a part of the horizontal plate A', in which case the casterhorn C (being previously nished) may be attached to the pintle by the same operation of casting.
When the vertical plate A is omitted, as shown in Fig. 6, the pintle B may be used conjointly with the attaching-plate, for securing said plate to the furniture, by driving into the wood.
For embellishing the front part of the vertical plate A, as shown in Fig. 1, I provide an adjustable ornamental casing, which I prefer to make of sheet metal, and fasten to said vertical plate by Ineans of the extensions E and perforation F, Fig. 3.
The caster-horn C is made of sheet metal, the bridge D being overlapped to form the necessary depth of the bearings for the rotating ofthe pintle B, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. For caster-horns having a stationary pintle the extension part of bridge D may be folded close under the said bridge, as shown in Fig. 5. Caster-horns thus made are more durable and less expensive than the ordinary castmetal kind.
The horn C of the caster and the necessary perforations are stamped bythe same operation, in which operation the edges of bridge D and horn C may be turned over or ribbed, so as to increase the strength and improve the Mappearance of the parts.
What I claim as new is- 1. A caster-horn having a folded bridge, D, struck up from sheet metal, substantially as described.
2. The attaching parts A and A', provided `with a stationary pintle, B, and sheet-metal horn C, having a folded bridge, D, substantially as described.
3. In combination With a sheet-metal horn having an overlapped bridge, D, the pintle B, plates A and A', ornamental casing Gr, and Wheel I, substantially as and for the purposes described.
CALEB BRINTON.
