BENJAMIN BENNETT, OF HYDE PARK, PENNSYLVANIA.
CAR-BRAKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,773, dated February '6, 1883,
' Application filed November 1,1882. (No model.) 1
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN BENNETT, of Hyde Park, in the county of Lackawanua and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gar-Brakes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The invention consists in the particular means which I einployby which the parts of the clutch will come together as the stafi is turned to set the brakes, a slight pressure upon a lever causing the brakes to be removed from the wheels.
Reference is to behad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure l is an end elevation of the body of a car with my improved brake-stalf arrange: ment applied to it. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the clutch device. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the brake-staff and plan view of the stationary part of the clutch and the tripping-lever, and Fig. 4 is-a plan view of the movable part of the clutch inverted.
I attach the permanent part a of the roseclutch to the platform b of the car in any approved way, and arrange the staffs to turn -freely in it with the movable partd ofthe clutch fitted on said staif, so as to turn with it by a square or other form, but to slide freely up and down on said staff.
In a slot, 6, of the fixed part a of the clutch I fix a foot-lever,f, on a pivot, 9, so that by pressing the lever down at its outer end with the foot the inner end, which is preferably in the direction for winding up the chain It the part (1 of the clutch will gravitate automatically into contact with thefixed part, and thus secure the staff without any manipulationofthe lever as the pawl of the common coutrivance requires to be actuated. Moreover, the downpressure of the foot on lever f for disconnecting the clutch is simpler and easier for the brakeman than the common operation for disconnecting the brakes.
It is not essential to construct the ratchetfaces exactly in the rose-clutch form, for any equivalent thereof will serve. As this e1utch connection is automatic and. positive, there is no loss of time in operating the brake.
Having thus described myinvention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination, with a brake-mechanism
