A. BARNES. WAGON SPRING.
No. 244,109. Patented July 12,1881.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
AMOS BARNES, OF PONTIAC, MICHIGAN.
WAGON-SPRING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 244,109, dated July 12, 1881. Application filed J annary 13, 1881. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, AMos BARNES, of Pontiac, Oakland county, Michigan, have invented an Improvement in Wagon Springs, of which the following is a specification.
The nature of this invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in the construction of wagon-springs; and the invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of the various parts, all as more fully hereinafter set forth.
Figure 1 is a perspective view, showing my improved spring as applied to the bolster of a wagon. Fig. 2 is a detached view of one of the springs.
In-the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, A represents the bolster of a wagon, which is secured upon the running-gear in the ordinary manner, and is provided with the usual stakes, a.
B represents my improved spring, which is composed of one piece of steel wire or rod bent substantially in the form shown, the two ends being bent horizontally and parallel with each other.
0 represents bearing-bars, which are loosely secured upon the horizontal portions of the springs by the straps c, or in any other convenient manner. In the lower portion of the spring are formed the loops d, which are designed to straddle the upper edge of the bolster, as shown. To prevent the springs from tipping sidewise the bolster may be recessed to receive these loops, or cleats may be secured to the sides of the bolster for the same purpose, although, ordinarily, when the box is in place upon the bearing-bars the bolster-stakes will perform this office.
In practice the springs are secured together in pairs by the bearingbars, and are placed upon the holster as shown, and the bearingbars are moved to or near the outer ends of the springs to receive the wagon-box, which is placed upon them between the bolster-stakes, and upon the bottom of the box cleats should be secured to keep the bearing-bars the proper distance apart, and thus secure the full power or elasticity of the springs.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. A vehicle-spring composed of one piece of steel wire or rod bent substantially in the form shown, and for the purposes described.
2. A spring composed of one piece of steel wire or rod bent substantially in the form shown, in combination with the bearing-bars, and adapted to beheld in place by slipping over the bolster, substantially as set forth.
