FORREST M. PRIESTLEY, OF GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN.
HAND-SLED.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 243,971, dated July 5, 1881.
Applicationfiled December 20, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FoRREsT M. PRIESTLEY, of Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hand-Sleds; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
In the manufacture of childrens sleds it has been customary to attach an ornament, commonly called a swans head, to the forward portion of the runner, to afford means by which the rope is secured to the sled. Such ornamented appendages have always been secured bya screw-bolt or rivet passing througha hole in the ornament and in the runner, and held' bya nut or other means. As thus secured the swans head was easily detached by a comparatively slight side wrench or pressure, because thebolts or screws were liable to twist within a short time and allow the ornament to be entirely detached.
My invention relates to an improved con-' struction of metallic ornaments for hand-sleds, by which the disadvantages before mentioned are completely obviated and the swans head secured to the runnerina perfectly secure way.
My invention consists in casting the swans head with a solid-metal arm adapted to pass through the forward portion of the runner and be secured at its opposite end by a bolt, this arm to be used, in combination with east side pieces, to secure the ornament against the effects of side strain, the whole forming a secure fastening.
The accompanying drawings show, in Figure 1,a side view, partly in section; and Fig. 2, a modification.
A represents the forward portion of the runner of a sled, and B the forward portion of the rave, these two parts being of the usual or any desired construction.
0 represents the metallic swans head or other ornament of like nature. It consists of two arms, 1 2, the arm 1 bearing on the forward portion of the runner, while the arm 2 bears on the upper side of the rave. Represented at 3 is the usual curved portion, to which the cord or rope is attached. The arm 2 is secured by a bolt or rivet passing through such arm and through the rave, as shown.
On the lower end of the arm 1 is arm 4, cast solid with the rest of the ornament, which projects through the opening in the forward end of the runner, and the rear end of this arm may be screw-threaded, if desired, to receive a fastening-nut; orit maybe held in anyother suitable way. The swans head is thus con-- nected solidly to the runner without the use of detachable bolts or screws.
Cast solid with the swans head are plates 5, between which the upper portion of the runner, where it is jointed to the rave, fits closely. The purpose of such plates is to prevent the possibility of movement by any force exerted sidewise, and they may be secured to the runner by a nail, 6, if desired. These plates may be constructed as shown in Fig. l; or they may entirely fill the triangular space between the arms 1 and 2, as shown in the modification in Fig. 2; or theymay project from either arm of the ornament. The arm 2, as before mentioned, is secured bya boltorrivet to the rave.
It will thus be seen that there is no possibility of the displacement of the swans head. since it is connected solidly to the runner by the arm 4, and prevented from having any side movement by the use of the plates 5.
The advantages of the construction in strength and cheapness will be readily appreciated.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In combination with a hand-sled, the metallic ornament A, having the arm 4, cast solid therewith, by which it is secured to the runner.
2. The described metallicornamentforhandsleds, consisting of the curved portion 3, the arms 1 2, the arm, 4, and the plates 5, all cast in one piece, as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
FORREST M. PRIESTLEY.
