PETER PAPINEAU, 0E rAxToN, ILLINOIS.

BUeGY-POLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 290,463, dated December 18, 1883. Application'led January 16, 1883. (No model.)l

To wZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PETER PANNEAU, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paxton, in the county of Ford and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in an Attachment for Cross-Bars with Buggy-Poles, and I do declare the following to be-a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to `the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a longitudinal sectional view of my device. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a bottom view, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the partD detached from the part A.

This invention has relation to improvements in devices for coupling poles to cross-bars of vehicles; and it consists in the construction and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the pole, and B the cross-bar to which it is connected, and which'is coupled to the front axle in any ordinary manner. In connecting the pole to the cross-bar before the irons are applied, a single heavy screw, o, is passed through the center of the cross-bar forward into the rear end of the pole.

D D represent the front lateral irons, which are right angular, or nearly so, in form, their forward branches, e, extending along the sides of the rear end of the pole, and their lateral branches g extending outwardly along the front of the cross-bar at each side of the joint. Each iron D is provided with an angular baseiiange, h, extending inward from the forward branch and rearward from the lateral branch. These irons D D are designed to fit neatly into the lateral angles, between the rear end of the pole and the cross-bar, the base-ange h being brought'in contact with the under side of the pole and the cross-bar, spanning the joint and supporting it from below.l Horizontal transverse bolts pass through perforations k in the front branches, e, of the angle-irons and through the pole, as indicated at Z.

N represents the rear iron, which is an elongated strap extending along the rear face of the cross-bar, and is provided with perforations m, for the connecting screws or bolts. Horizontal rearwardly-extending bolts Z pass through perforations k of the lateral branches g of the front angle-irons, through the crossbar, and through perforations of the rear iron, N, serving to secure these parts firmly together. p

This coupling is designed to have great strength. The irons are easily applied to a high or low pole, the under surface of the cross-bar being beveled more or less to accommodate it to the base-anges of the lateral Irons.

Veb-flanges w are formed between the front and lateral branches of the angle-irons, to add to their strength.

I am aware that it is not new to provide a T-iron for connecting poles or shafts to crossbarswith lateral downwardly-projecting flanges on both its branches.

Having described this invention, .what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

The lateral pole-coupling irons D, having the front branches, e, and the rear lateral branches, g, the angular base-flanges h, extending inward and rearward, and the webflanges w between the forward and lateral branches, in combination with the pole, crossbar, and rear iron, N, connected together by securing bolts and nuts, substantially as specied.

Y In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

I. PAPIFNEAU.
