VEHICLE-SPRING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 280,874, dated July 10, 1883.
' Application filed February 11, 188-2. (No model.)
Figure l is a view in perspective of the improvement; Fig. 2,-an end elevation, showing the spring supported on a bar, which in turn is attached to the gear; and Fig. 3, a view of the parts shown in Fig. 2, but showing the spring at the side of the wagon-bed and resting crosswise on theaxle.
The same letters denote the same parts.
The present improvement has relation to the mode of connecting with the body and with the gear of the vehicle the springs heretofore constructed by me and shown in Letters Patent granted me July 16, 1878, and May 18, 1880.
A represents a vehicle-gear having the im provement in question.
B represents an axle; E, the perch; and F F,
the springs, the latter being each composed of a lower part, F, and an upper part, F", and the two parts being shaped and connected together substantially as shown in the construction referred to.
ported by side bars, are arranged above the axles, being connected, respectively, with the axle and the bolster, the construction, more particularly described, being as follows: G represents the vehicle-body. (Indicated "in dotted lines in Fig. 1 and shown in full lines h h of the loops.
In the present construction, however, the springs, in place of being supand the eye h, the latter projecting upward at right angles from the former. The shank is suitably fastened to the vehicle-body. The upper part, F, of the spring is connected loosely with the loops, the ends 7 f of the part extending over and curving downward to the loops, and the eyes f f turning upon the bars The lower part, F, of the spring may be held in place over the axle by the bar J. The bar (I at its center is attached to the axle or bolster, and at its ends is pro vided with or shaped to form eyes j j, which curve upward and receive and hold the ends f f of said part F.
The improvement described enables the vehicle-body G to be held at a lower level than when side bars are used, the relative position axle, the last-described arrangement (shown in Fig. 3) necessitating the use of the bar J. The circle in broken line in Fig, 3 indicates the position of the vehiclewheels I clai1n- 1. The combination of the spring F, consisting of the parts F F, the upturned loops H H, the body G, the bar J, and the axle B, substantially in the manner and for the purposes set forth.
- 2. The combination of the spring F, consisting of the parts F F", the upturned loops H H, and the body G, said spring being supported substantially in the manner and for the purposes set forth.
