SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 280,499, dated July 3, 1883,.
Application filed October 17, 1882. (Model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, OLEMENs'METTE, of Hancock, Houghton county, Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Sleigh, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention consists of an improved beam and knee connection with the runner for greater flexibility on uneven roads, the arrangement being contrived with special reference to economy in construction and reliability of the said flexible connection, all as hereinafter more 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 all the figures.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bob-sled constructed in accordance with the said invention, a part being sectioned. Fig. 2 is a plan view, also with a part in section and Fig. 3 is a section through the beam and knee, showing the arrangement of the flexible joint.
A represents the'runners, B the beam, and O the knees. The knees and beam are framed together in the usual manner but instead of framing the. knees into the runner I arrange them to rest upon the surface of the runner at the end, making the said end a little convex, I as shown at D, and to secure the beam to the runner I employ the metal kneebolts E and stay-bars F, the bolts and the bars being rigidly attached together at G, the bolts also betoward the middle sufficiently to allow the beams and the runners to rock the one upon the other, thus providing for the flexibility of the joints by a substantial arrangement not liable to wear out unduly, nor to. break.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with the beams B and knees C, resting with surface of the runner, of the knee-bolts E and stay-bars F, attached together at G, the plate H, attached to the runner, and the liners J,
the latter being fitted closely at the middle, but
loosely at the ends, in the bolt-grooves of the beams and knees, whereby the beams may rock upon the runners and a flexible jointing be produced, as set forth.
