loolos I R. .-32 INVIA/TUE.-
ilNiTn STATES ATnNT Tricia AMOS T. PEIRGE, OF FAIRHAVEN, MASSACHUSETTS.
CAR-TRUCK.
SPECIFICATION' forming part of Letters Patent No. 300,795, dated June 24, 1884.
Application filed April 1, 1884.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, AMOS T. PEIRCE, aciti zen of the United States, residing in Fairhaven, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented new. and useful improvements in trucks for steam and horse cars to obviate friction and'prevent j umping the track, and to procure safety when running on curved rails, of which the following is a speciiication.
My invention consists in a diagonal connecting-bar connecting the two trucks together; in swiveling truck-bearings inside of Wheels; in hinged tongue with springbraces, straps, and iron plates, Vas hereinafter claimed.
Figure 1 is a vertical View of the mechanism of the running devices of a horse-car with my improvements applied to it. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is atransverse section of Fig. l through center of truck.
The letters of reference indicate like partsV in the different gures.
A A are the trucks, B, the connecting-rod, C G C O, hangings and boxes; D, the tongue or draw-bar; EE, steel springs secured to both sides of the tongue; F, strap to sustain the tongue or draw-bar; G, connection of lthe tongue With draw-bar. These devices constituting my invention being applied to a steam or horse car, as shown, the novelty and operation of my invention may be noted.
(No model.)
It is apparent to all railroad-engineers that in running on curves with the Well-known rigid hangings the danger of jumping the track is greater than when running on straight lines. By my invention it Will be seen that the trucks, by means of the connecting-bar, cause the treads of the Wheels to assume the same bearings on the rails of curves that they have on the rails of straight lines, and that they are no more inclined to rise and jump the track on curved than on straight rails, and thus the danger of accident, the Wear of the rails and the Wheels, and the power of locomotion are equalized.
I do not @Online myself to attaching the draw-bar as shown. It may be on steam-cars attached directly to the truck. v
VhatI claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
I 'Atros fr. ramon.
