WILLIAM G. HUGHES, OF OHUBUBUSOO, INDIANA.
WAGON-SPRING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 230,281, dated July 20, 1880.
Application filed December 152, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. HUGHES, of Ohurubusco, in the county of Whitley and State of Indiana, have invented a new and Improved Wagon-Spring, of which the followin g is a specification.
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the springs attached to a wagon. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same on line to 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents views of the yoke and eyebolts.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.
The object of this invention is to construct a novel and efficient spring that shall also serve as a side bar or'stake to a wagon.
The invention consists of a spiral spring set on the end of a wagon-bolster and held in a vertical position in a frame-work of arched rods, while resting centrally on the top of the spring is a slotted yoke, from the ends of which depend two eyebolts or clips and links, that pass down to or through cross-bars which extend laterally from beneath the wagon-bed, and thereby support the wagon-body.
In the drawings, A represents the bolsters, B the wagon-bed, and O the cross-bars attached to the under side of the bed B, and held together in pairs by the plates (1.
On the bolster ends are set the plates D, on which rest the spiral springs E, which are inclosed and held in a vertical position by the two upright arched rods F, whose ends are fastened in or upon the bolster ends, asshown. Oneof these rods F is arched in a plane parallel with the sides G of the Wagon, and the other is arched over and at right angles to the first. The yokes H, provided with a slot, a, are set over the first of these rods F in a posi- 0 tion parallel with the Wagon sidesG and under the arch of the other rod F, so as to rest upon the spiral springs E, and on each hooked end of the said yokes H are suspended the eyebolts I or clips and links, that pass down to or through the projecting ends of the crossbars 0. Nuts b, screwed on the ends of these eyebolts I, will hold them in place, and thus the wagon-bed B will be suspended from the yokes H, which rest on the springs E. I
This device, extending upward at the sides of a wagon-body, serves also as an excellent substitute for the usual side bars or stakes that are designed to prevent excessive lateral motion of the wagon-bed; and a further advantage of this device is, that all the space between the bed of a wagon and the bolster is free for the motion of the wagon-body.
' These springs E and their inclosing-rods F can be made ot'an y length that may be desired to allow greater or less vertical movement to the wagon-body; and the device is cheaper and more durable than the ordinary elliptic springs in use for such purpose.
Having thus described my invention,I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The spiral spring E, inclosed in a frame upon the end of the bolster A, in combination with the saidbolster, the yoke H, the eyebolts or clips and links I, and the wagon-body G, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination of the spiral spring E, the arched rods F, and the slotted yoke H with the holster A, the eyebolts or clips .and links I, and the wagon-body G, substantially as shown and described.
WILLIAM G. HUGHES.
