THILL COUPLING. 210.266,53. Patented 001;. 24, 1882.
Attorney UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PHILIP SCHNEIDER, OF ROSEDALE, MARYLAND.
THlLLwCOUPLING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,535, dated October 24, 1882.
Application Iilcd June 20, 1882.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PHILIP SCHNEIDER, a citizen of the United States of America, residingatRosedaleP.O.,in thecountyofBaltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaft-Gouplers for Vehicles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or iigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specication. y
My invention relates to detachable shaftcouplers; and the object is to construct a shaftcoupling for vehicles that can be easily and quickly detached and replaced when desired, especially in such vehicles as are to be placed in narrow spaces, or wherever there is not much room. Theshat'ts, after being detached, can be placed under the vehicle or any place where it is desired.
The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts,as will he more fully described hereinafter, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and the letters 0f reference marked thereon.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of a wheel with the axle iu section and the shafts attached and secured.
Fig. 2 is a similar view with the shaft-coupling device open for removal of the shafts. Fig. 3 is a detail bottom view of the coupling.
In the drawings, A is the front axle of any vehicle, supported by a wheel, B, of ordinary construction. To the front side of the axle is securely bolted, at each side, a clip or bracket, C. Arivet or bolt, a, passes through the ears of this bracket, and upon this rivet tits a curved double hinge, D. This hinge has a recess, b, on each side to clasp the rivet when brought together, and the joint of the hinge is shown at c. The upper part, d, of the hinge is se- (No model.)
curely fastened to the ends E of the shafts by bolts or rivets. The lower part, d,of the hinge is provided with a small fold or raised part, e, and a small ridge, j", and between these parts of the hinge a ring or hand, F, is held when the hinge is closed, as shown in Fig. l. When it is desired to uncouple the shafts the ring or band F is moved back off the end of the part d', and the said lower part will drop down and the shafts can be raised from their position, as shown in Fig. 2. In recoupliug, the two parts areagain broughttogether with the hands and the band is slipped or moved back to its original position.
rIhe whole device is very simple in construction, not liable to get outl of order, can be furnished at a very moderate cost, can be readily applied to any vehicle in which it is desired to have a detachable pair of shafts, and it forms a very convenient and easy means of removing a pair of shafts and replacing them, as desired.
I am aware ofthe Patent No. 94,583, granted to T. G. IVe-Iter, dated September 4, 1869; but this is of a different construction, and l do not claim such couplings, broadly; but,
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
rIhe detachable shaftcoupler herein described, consisting of the double hinge D, having the upper part, d, secured to the ends of the shafts, and the lowerjoiuted part, d', provided with a raised part, e, and ridge j', and both provided with semi-recesses b, in combination with the clips C, all constructed and arranged for operation substantially as shown and specified.
In testimony whereofI afx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
PHILIP SCHNEIDER. Vitnesses:
G. E. HARRIS, WM. H. BEVER.
