UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES L. SMITH, OF ASHTABULA, OHIO.
CARRl AGE-BOW.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 268,436, dated December 5, 1882,
Application filed March 10, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Beitknown thatI, JAMESL. SMITH, ofAshtahula,in the county of Asbtabula and ,State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carriage-Bows and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to an improvement in carriage-bows, and more particularly to the side pie :es thereof, the object being to provide a covering for tubular sheet-metal side pieces material.
which shall com binethe qualities of cheapness; durability, and elegance, and which shall add strength to the articlecovered.
With this end in view my invention consists in the combination, with a tubular sheetmetal body, of a cover consisting of strands of flexible material, the same being wound, woven,
plaited, or braided over the outer surface of said body.
In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 represent a carriage-bow provided with a covering applied in accordance with my invention; and Fig. 3 represents a view in cross section of an improved form of carriage-bow for which I have made application for a patent, said bow beingprovided with my improved covering.
A A represent carriage-bows of any desired form of construction and made of any suitable They are provided with a covering, B, consisting of strands of cords woven in one case and wound on in the other. Afterthe covering is applied it maybe finished or not, as desired. 1t may, for instance, be coated with paint or varnish, with waterproofing, or with any suitable cement, to bind the strands together. Being loosely applied, the ordinary leather covering for carriage-bows serves only the function of a cover, while my improved cover, being tightly bound on the bow, not only answers as a cover and protection, but it also imparts strength to the bow. In this respect, also, it is superior to the japan covering often applied to metallic carriage-bows, which serves only as a cover, any bending of the bow causing it to crack or peel 0E, The japan covering is also objectionable in that itis very cold 'to the hands. To my new carriage-bow (shown in cross-section in Fig. 3 of the draw-- ings) my improved covering is especially applicable, as it completely conceals the joined edges of the bow,'impartiug to the same aperfectly smooth contour.
I do not limit myself to any one method ofapplying flexible strands to carriage-bows, nor (lo 7 I limit myself to the use of any particular kind of strands. Again, the strands may be simple strands or several twisted or braided together. I would therefore have it understood that I- do not limit myself to the exact constructionshown and described, but that I hold myself 1 at liberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of my invention.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters ,Patent, is-
I JAMES n slvrrrn.
