SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,984, dated June 5, 1883.
Application filed l\Iarch 12. 1893. (Modem To all 2071,0172 it may concern.-
Be it known that I, Oscar: -F. LOWE, of Hampton, in the county of Franklin and State of Iowa, have invented a new and Improved Equalizer for Spring-Carriages, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to contrive for maintaining the proper level of the carriagebody when unevenly loaded, and to prevent the body from being unduly thrust upward by the shocks and jolts caused by uneven roads.
The contrivance consist s of a double-cranked rod pivoted in clips at the front side of the hind axle, with its two arms reaching forward a suitable distance each side of the body, and connected to it by rods, so that an undue weight on one side will take effect alike on the other side through the cranked rod, and said rod carries a rod connecting the extremities of the arms under the reach, so that the upward thrust of the body will be arrested by contact of the said connectingrod with the reach, and the reach has a cushion to lessen the shocksof the rod, all as hereinafter fully described.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of a carriagebody with my improved equalizing attachment, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same.
I arrange a rod or shaft, 0, along the front side of the axle I), inbearings of clips 0, attached to'the axle, and having a crank-arm, (l, at each 5 end, extending forward under the body a suitable distance, and being connected at their forward ends by rods 6 with the side bars, f, or it may be the body or other part attached to the body, so that weight on one side of the body 0 will have equal effect on the other side of the body through the medium of said cranked shaft. The arms (I also carry the rod 71, which connects them together at the free ends and passes under the reach i, so as to hold the body 45 down when thrust upward powerfully by uneven roads. I arrange a cushion, j, under the reach, to cushion the shocks of the rod on the reach and diminish their effect.
Having thus described my invention, 1 claim 50 as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent The combination of rod a,arn1s (1, rod 71, cush ionj and connecting-rods c with the axle I) and the body of a carriage or its support, said rod a being pivoted on the axle, under the reach, and said arms (1 being connected to the body, substantially as described.
OSCAR E, LOWE.
