UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
THOMAS B. 'IVELLER, OF BUTTE CITY, MONTANA TERRITORY, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO PATRICK A. LARGEY, OF SAME PLACE.
BOB-SLE IGH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 290,295, dated December 18, 1883.
Application filed May 16, 1883. (N0 model.)
T0 aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS B. WELLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Butte City, in the county of Silver Bow and Territory of Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bob-.Sleighs, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in bob sleighs, and has for its object to permit, in asleigh with double runners, the free and independent rolling motion of each set of runners, at the same time securing light weight, durability, light running, and cheapness. This object is obtained by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a plan, with the pole partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, and Fig. 3 an end view from the rear. Fig. 4 is a transverse section, in detail, of some of the parts.
The letters A A represent the wooden part of the runners.
B B are the cross-bars.
O C are the bolsters.
(l 0 are the standards.
D is the coupling-pole.
E is the king-bolt.
F F F F are the hounds, the latter forming the connection between the reach-pole and after runners.
G G are braces attached at each end to the runners and passing over the top of the cross bars 13 B, and loosely secured thereto by the pins or screws N, which go through a slot, S, in the brace.
D is a metal slide fitted "to the reach-pole,
and adapted to slide thereon. It has a central opening for the passage of an eyebolt, d, the lower part of which engages with an eyebolt or staple, d, which latter is secured to the hounds F F. The upper end of eyebolt d has a hand-nut or other means of fastening, and in the reach-pole are a series of holes, d d, through which the bolt 11 ispassed when any change is made in the distance between L are supporting standards or knees, which are bolted fast to the under side of the crossbars B B, and the lower ends of which enter a slot in the metal clasps K, to which they are pivoted by the pins K. The clasps K are secured to the upper eides of the runners A A, thus forming a flexible connection between the runners and the cross-bars B B. The bolster O is provided with eyebolts on its underside, which engage with similar bolts attached to the bar B, which permit the bolster O and the bar B to have. a rolling motion upon each other. admits the rounded end of the reach-pole D and permits it to slide freely therein when the distance between the runners is extended or contracted. The rounded portion of the pole also permits the bolster O to have a rolling motion thereon.
G is a brace extending from the under side of the reach-pole D, to which it is fastened, to the under side of the brace B, where it is penetrated by the king-bolt E, thus strengthening the connections between the front and after runners.
The slots S in the braces G G permit the runners to have arocking motion.
Having described my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent and to claim is- 1. In a bob-sleigh, the combination of the runners A and the cross-bars B, having the screws or studs N, with the braces G, having slots S fitting over said screws, and the standards L, constructed of two parts and pivotally connected to the runners, substantially as set forth.
2. In a bob-sleigh, the combination of the runners A and the hounds F F with the slide D, secured thereto, with the reach-pole I), the bolster O, and cross'bar B, flexibly connected together, the said slide being adapted to move longitudinally on the reach-pole, as described, and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereby affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
THOMAS B. WELLER. Witnesses:
SAML. B. RIcE, I. FRANKLIN KIRBY.
