HENRY M. JAcoBS, on WAYNESBUEG, PENNSYLVANIA.
WAGON-SEAT SUPPORT.
SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 258,303, dated May 23, 1882. Application led May 6,1880. Renewed April 17, 1882. (Model.)
To all whom tt may concern Be it known that I, HENRY M. JACOBS, a citizen of theUnited States, residing in Wa ynesburg, in the county of Greene and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful improvements in wagon-seat bearers for supporting the seat above the wagon-body and for its convenient removal therefrom, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the Same, reference bein g had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part ot' this specitication, and in whichh Figure 1 showsa side elevation ofthe front end of a wagon-body with my improved seatbearer attached thereto, and supporting an elliptical spring-seat thereon. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of that part which is fastened to the wagon-body, and forming a socket for the seatbearer B to enter through the 4hole G. Fig. 3 shows a back side or rear view of the same with the supporting-iron B inserted, showingthe rear opening of the front projection, m, shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 1 shows a vertical cross-section of the socket on the line 1/ y, Fig. 3. Fig..5 shows a vertical section on the line .fr a of Fig. 4,showing the form of the internal cavity and of its walls. Fig. 6 shows the form ot the notches ineach side of the bottom of the standard or upright-bearer B. Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 5, but with the internal cavity modified in form, and with the end of B modified correspondingly, as further Shown in Fig. S, which otherwise 4corresponds with Fig. 6. Figs. 9 to 12 show modieations of the top end of the seatbearcr B, for the purposes hereinafter described.
The same letters show like parts in each tig ure.
The object of my invention is to produce a cheap, ornamental, durable, and more convenient seat-bearer than any heretofore made. It
is so constructed that `it stands lirmly in position with bearings of iron upon iron, and so l that the whole seat with the attached bearers maybe lifted clear out of the iron sockets and off the wagon without having to unt'asten any clamps, screw-bolts, or anything else, but to simply lift it out; or it may be lifted up partly out ot' the sockets, then turned over in an inclined position ont of the way, either back` ward or forward, for convenience in loading or unloading the wagon, as indicated by the dotted lines in the drawings.
Both parts ofmyimproved seatbearer are made preferably of malleable cast-iron, of a size requisite to give the proper strength, and are so constructed that they are easily molded in a one-parting iiask without requiring dry cores, and may be supplied in quantity to the hardware trade all ready to attach to wagons. The standard or bearer B, when used in con# nection with an elliptical spring, is forked,with the two branches curved in any ornamental shape to give the requisite length, and to it the spring where the bolts clamp them together as shown in Figs. 1 and 7; or where it is desired to have the seat lower down it may be made in the form shown in Fig. 3; or, if desired to be used Without springs, it may be made, as shown in Fig. 12, and the straight horizontal top bolted directly to the seat-bottom. Through the top portion of each of the fork edeurved arms are elongated holes or slots for inserting the screw-bolts for clamping the elliptical springs to them, as shown in Fig. 1. These holes are elongated into slots to accommodate the slight variation in the distance apart of the two bolt-holes in the springs of dierent manufacture. The branching curved arms, being made of' good quality of malleable iron, may also be bent sufficiently to accommodate the requirements of different springs.
The hollow cavity of the socket is cast with an open bottom, so that sand or dirt cannot accumulate in it, and a projecting lug, g, is provided a suitable distance below it for a stop or'bearing for the protruding end of the seat-bearer B to rest upon; or, instead of the lug g to support the weight of the seat, there may be projectinglugsf, as shown inFigs.fron1 7 to 12, which rest upon the correspondinglycurved bearings e .to support the Weight of the seat. The objects of curving or sloping the top ot' the bearing c are, first, that the slopn ing lugs f will .wedge solidly down upon or between them and not shake or rattle and, secondly, by taking oft' the square inner upper IOO corners of e e it requires correspondingly less depth of the notch a in bearer B (which is thus less weakened) to allow it to turn down to the same angle.
When the lugs f rest upon e, or the bottom of B is on g, the fiat bearings b b have bearin g against the narrow part of the socket near its bottom. The rear or inside face of B rests against the flat portion of the socket-plate at n above and also at n below the hollowT cavity ofthe socket, Figs. 2 and 4, and the front or outside face of B bears against the inside face of m, thus giving B a loosely-tittin g bearing upon all sides.
The seat may be lifted oft entirely by simply lifting it up vertically until the seat-bearers B draw out of the sockets; and it may be replaced bysimply entering the ends of the seatbearers B into the socket-holes G and letting it drop to its place.
It' it is desired simply to turn the seat over out of the way,backward or forward, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, each end ot' the seat is raised up slightly, and at the same time leaned or pressed slightly backward or forward, as it is desired to go7 and whenever the notch a in the side ofB comes opposite to c it drops over upon it in the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 5, the projection b coming against the under side of e, which thus acts as a stopto prevent further upward motion when it rolls or turns upon e as a fulcrum or hinge until the notch c strikes upon the opposite e, stopping further motion when it occupies the position shown by broken lines in Figs. 5 and 7, and by dotted lines in Fig. 1.
In the slight modification in the form of the socket in Fig. 7, and the corresponding modication of B shown in Figs. 7, 8, &c., the parts are so proportioned that when the notch a, comes opposite e at the same time the projection d has passed into the enlargement ofthe cavity m, so that a little side pressure as it is drawn` upcauses it todrop over a-nd catch upon e, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 7, (without having-to take the oblique position before it catches,.ras in the form invFig, 5,) which makes it more-convenient and more certain to catch solidly upon c, after which it is turned over till thenotch c in. the other edge strikes upon thev j opposite e, as in. the first-described modication.
When; it is desired" to use spiral springs,
which are cheaper and occupy less space than elliptical springs, they may be used as shown in Fig. 9 or 11, or by other 'modified forms of the top end of the bearers B. In Fig. 9 the top of B is elongated into a straight bar, B", over which is slipped the casting shown in Fig. l0, B passing up through the hollow boxes D', which prevent the seat from rocking or tipping, and the cross-piece D furnishes proper support for the seat-bottom, as shown, the spiral spring being secured to the top of B" and coiled around it, as shown by dotted lines, with its bottom end secured to D, which, with the seat, thus becomes suspended by the spring from the top of B. In Fig. 1l the T- shaped piece C slides through the inclosing bearings B" on the top of B, and the spiral spring surrounds them, as shown by dotted lines, and supports the scat upon the top ofG.
I am aware that seat-bearers have been made of both wood and of iron to lift out of staples, but without means of turning over in inclined positions, backward and forward, as mine does. I am also aware that seat-bearers have been made with a securing-bolt through the bottom of the seat-bearer and through the lfor the purpose set forth.
l 3. Thelugg,in combination with thenotched metal seat-bearer B and inwardly-enlarged cavity m, for the purpose set forth.
4. rlhe elliptical spring secured to thecurved `arms of the wagon-seat bearer B, with the ynotches a (t and c c, in combinationv with the i socket-plate having inwardly-enlarged cavity m and bearings e e, substantially as` sho-wn. HENRY M.. JAGQBS. Witnesses:
