UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

vel-ucLe-spnme.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 256,269, dated April 11, 1882.
Application filed February 18, 1880.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, JOHN H. BALDWIN, of Port Jefferson, in the county of Suffolk and State of New York, and CHARLES S. BALDWIN, of the city, county, and State of New York, haveinvented anew and Improved Side-Spring AttachmentforWagons, of which the following is a specification.
The object of our invention is to construct a wagonorcarriage with a low-setting body without impairing the strength and flexibilty of the spring, for which purpose we dispense with the usual side bars and secure the body directly on flat metal cross-bars, which are connected at their outer-ends to side springs that 'are hung by shackles to the usual semi-elliptic springs on the front and rear axle, as more particularly described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings,("orming part of this "specification.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of awagon fitted in accordance with our invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view, showing the attachment at one side. Fig. 3 is across-section on line a w of Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is the body of the wagon; B, the forward axle, upon which is secured the semi-elliptic spring a, as usual.
b b are the side springs at the forward and back ends, hung by loose shackles to the ends of the axle-springs, and attached by rigidconnections to the metal cross-bars c c and d d, upon which the body A is bolted. The side of springs 12 to the cross-bars 0 dare rigid.
springs at the opposite side of body A are arranged in the same manner. The connections The connections to bars 0 are made by bending the springs around the projecting ends of bars 40 c, which are formed with heads to retain the springs. The springs b pass over bars d and are clamped thereto by shacklesf, one of which carries the step e. The bars 0 cl are preferably made of flat or half-round form, and the bolts f pass through them and the bottom of box A, so that the body rests directly on the bars 0 d, and is about on a level with the side springs, instead of being elevated above the side bars in the usual manner. By these 0 means we obtain a durable construction and a low-setting body which is convenient for persons getting in and out.
v The invention may be applied in connection with any style of wagon or carriage.
By dispensing with the side barsthere is increased space for the wheels in turning, so that the wagon may be turned short without cramping.
Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire .to secure by Letters Patent- The short springs 11, loosely connected with the crosssprings and rigidly attached to the body bars c d, as and for the purpose specified. 6
