ANDREV J. HARPER, OF UNIONVILLE CENTRE, OHIO.
WAGON-HOU'ND.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 271,631, dated February 6, 1883.
Application filed June 26, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, ANDREW JACKSON HAR- PER, of Unionville Centre, in the county of Union and State of Ohio, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Wagon-Hounds; and I do hereby declare that the following is full, clear, and exact description of the same,
' reference being had to the accompanying drawings, lorming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a plan view; and Fig. 2 is a side view, with the axle in section.
My invention relates to an improved wagonhound designed to avoid all cutting of the axle and holster, and thus secure greater strength in the same.
It consists in the peculiar arrangement of iron hound-bars with respect to the axle, the tongue, and its pivot-rod, as will be hereinafter fully described.
1n the accompanying drawings, A represents the axle, B the bolster, and 0 the tongue.
D I) D D are tour iron hound-bars, each formed at their front ends with eyes, through which passes thepivot-bolt E thatcouples them to the tongue, which pivot-bolt is made much longer than usual. Two of these bars,D I), pass over the top of the bolster, and two of them, D D, pass underneath theaxle, which two sets then converge toward each other in the rear of the axle, and are bolted at a a, respectively, to the top and bottom of a wooden cross-bar, E The same bolts, a, that secure the bars D and D to the cross-bar E also pass through and secure to the top of. bar E in a parallel position the metal bar E, the outer ends of which are turned in and connected to a parallel cross-bar, F, by bolts 1) b, that pass through bar F, the bent ends of E, the bars D and D, and intermediate spools, 0 c, that separate the upper and lower sets of bars D and D. The bars D and D cross the bolster and axle without any notch being cut in the same; but they are fastened to these parts by long vertical bolts (1 (Z, that pass eu- .tirely through the same.
Outside the bars D D are other supplemental bars, G, which at their rear ends terminate at and are fastened to the axle by clips 6, and at their front ends are provided with eyes that encircle the pivot-bolt of the tongue.
Between the hound-bars D and the tongue are interposed metal plates'H of malleable castiron, which are fastened by screws or bolts to the tongue and constitute face or wear plates for said tongue in its vertical movement. The tongue transmits the draft-strain tothe hounds through the long pivot-bolt E, and the latter is braced and enabled to resist bending by the bracket-ironsll, which at one end are bolted to the tongue, and at the other are secured to the outer ends of the pivot-bolt E, thus stiifening the tongue and more strongly connecting .it to the bound to resist the said draft-strain.
With the construction of wagon-hound described 1 am enabled to locate the connection of the double-tree atf, Ora-point in rear of the better point for the application of the draft strain.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, IS
1. The combination, with the wagon-axle, bolster, and tongue, of the long pivot-bolt E, the hound-bars D D, hung upon said bolt, and extended above and below the said axle and holster and bolted thereto, the wooden cross-bar E parallel bar E, with curved ends, the cross-bar F, the bolts a and b, and the spools c, substantiallyas shown and described.
2. The combination, with the axle and the tongue, of the hound-bars D DG, having eyes at their front ends, the long pivot-bolt E, passing through them, the face-plates H, and the bracket-irons H fastened to the tongue at their front ends and connected at their rear ends to the long bolt outside the hound-bars, substantially as shown and described.
ANDREW JACKSON HARPER.
