WAGON TONGUE SUPPORT. No. 288,407. Patented Nov. 13, 1883.
M@% WW?- UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEQ JAY R. OHADWIOK, oFsT. PAUL, MINNESOTA, ASSIGNOR oFonE-HALF To MAnsnALL SHERMAN, on SAME PLACE;
WAGON-TONGUE SUPPORT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent Ne. 288,407, dated November 13, 1883,
Application filed July so, 1883. (No model.)
in theState of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wagon- Tongue Supports, of which the following specificationis a full, clear, and exact description, reference being also hadto the accompanying Figure 1 is a plan view from the under side,
7 and Fig. 2 is a side View of the hounds, a portion of the forward axle, and bolster, and a portion of the tongue of'a wagon, showing my improvement attached thereto. Fig. 3 are perspective views of the spring and adjustable hinges detached.
A is the tongue, B the hounds, G the axle, D the bolster, a the bolt by which the tongue is secured to the houndspand b the pin by which the doubletree is attached to the tongue,
all arranged as in an ordinary two-horse wagon. j
E isa spring, formed .of one or more, steel leaves, in the same manner as an ordinary wagon-spring, and with one end, at a, resting beneath the axle O, and the other end forked at cl, and passing upon either side of the lower end of the single-tree pin b, as shown.
F is a clip by which the leaves of the spring E are connected togetherat the center, and arranged to project upward upon each side of the spring,'and provided with hooks 0 e G G are two fiat plates, having perforations 9, into which the hooks e e may be set, and hooks g upon their upperends, adapted to catch over the rod a upon each side of the rear end of the tongue A, asshown. By this means the spring. and tongue are connected together and theforward end of the tongue held at the proper elevation to prevent its weight comingupon the horses necks, while at the same time the spring will give sufli ciently if any extra downward force is brought to bear upon it.
By setting the hooks e e higher or lower in a the holes g of the plates G G, the spring F 7 may be made to bear with greater or less force, to support the tongue higher or lower, to adapt it to the size of the horses, or to'take up any loss of power occasioned by the weakening or bending of the spring. By. this simple arrangement the spring may be adjusted to suit any-sized horses or wagon.
Theholes 9 in the plates G" G will be arranged alternately, as shown, so that the spring may be adjusted to as limited an extent as de-. sired.
The hooked plates G G may be connected to any suitable part of the tongue or hounds other than the bolt a, if desired; but I prefer them attached as shown.
By means of the forked end d, the spring will be held in its proper place with relation to the axle and tongue. A separate pin may. be set into the lower side of the tongue A, up-
.on which the forkdrmay run, and the rear end, 0, may be arranged to rest beneath any suitable part of the wagon other than the axle O.
A small clip or strap, 71, will be attached to the tongue A, to rest beneath and support the forked end 0 of the spring. E, to prevent the jarring motion of the tongue or wagon from shaking it from its position with relation" to with adjusting-holes g g,substantially as and for the purpose specified. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
