UNITED STATES WILLIAM YVOIOESKI, OF ATLANTA, ILLINOIS.
SPRING FOR VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 255,903, dated April 4, 1882.
Application filed January 3, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM WoIoEsKr, of Atlanta, in the county of Logan and State otl Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Road-Wagons; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Myinvention relates to roadwvagons, particularly to that class known as sidebar wagons.
The invention consists in the features of construction hereinafterset forth, and pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the running-gear of a vehicle provided with my invention. Fig. 2 is a modification. Fig. 3 is aside elevation of the same, partly in section. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the fifthwheel plate, and Fig. 5 shows my improved form of half-spring.
A A represent the side bars of the wagon; B B, the axles; Z) I), the hind hounds; D, the front cross-bar, and E E the bolsters.
F represents a semi-elliptic spring secured centrally to the under side of the front bolster, and having the ends respectively bent under the side bars, and then upwardly and in wardly, as shown, to be attached to clipsff on the top of the side bars by pivots ff. By this arrangement and mode of attaching the springs the tendency of the latter, when heavy pressure is applied to force the side bars outwardly, as is the case where the springs are rigidly secured to the side bar, is avoided. Moreover, a full and ample spring-bearing forthe wagonbody is obtained.
In the modificationshown in Fig. 2 two separate springs are used, arranged in parallel horizontal planes, and secured pivotally in clips upon the top of the bars A A.
G represents a central longitudinal perch secured to a brace, H, the latter being bent upwardly at its rear end, h, and secured to the rear axle, while its opposite end, h, is bent downwardly to pass under the front axle, and is provided with a stud or projection, h adapted to fit a socket, i, on the under side of the front secured to the upmeans of clipsjj,
side of the said provided with a socket,
j, adapted to receive a stud, k, of the fifthwheel K. I
It will be observed that by this construction all boring of the axle to receive bolts for the fifth-wheel plate and consequent weakening of the axle are avoided, and a secure connection of the parts is obtained without undue expense.
In Fig. 5 is represented my improved halfspring M. It consists of a series of leaves, m and m, secured together by bolts n. The under or lower leaf, m, is bent or curved upwardlyat its outer end, m while its opposite end, 122 is bent upwardly to cover the ends of the other leaves of the spring, and then inward in the same, or about the same, horizontal plane as the upper leaf.
This construction affords a spring ofsuperior strength, and one which may be readily applied to a vehicle.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A half-spring for vehicles, consisting of a. series of lapped leaves, the under one of which is bent outwardly at one end and adapted to be secured to a side bar of a vehicle, while its inner end is bent upwardly, covering the ends of the upper leaves, and then bent inwardly to adapt it to be secured to the gear of a vehicle, substantially as set forth.
In testimony thatlclaim the foregoingI have hereunto set my hand this 30th day of November, 1881.
IVILLIAM \VOIOESKI.
