BO LSTER STAKE FOR VEHICLES.
Patented Mar. 3,' 1885.
Y NITED STATns PATENT OFFICE v i RICHARD GERNER, OF PORT CLINTON, OHIO.
BOLSTER-STAKE FOR VEHICLES.
SPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313.199, dated March 3, 1885.
' Application filed September 27, 1884. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern: u
Beit known that I, RICHARD GERNER, of Port Clinton, in the county of Ottawa and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bolster- Stakes for Vehicles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and IO use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which Figure l is a perspective viewof one of my improved bolsterstakes for vehicles, show- 5 ing the same attached to the end of the bolster in position for operation. Fig. 2 isa side View of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional View of the same, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the lower end of my improved bolster-stake detached.
The same letters refer to the same parts in all the figures.
This invention relates to bolster-stakes for vehicles; and it has for its object to provide a cast-metal stake which shall be simple in construction, durable, easily applied, and neat in appearance, and which shall serve as a brace for the bolster, dispensing with any necessity of a transverse bolt for the end of the latter, and which shall form a strong and con- Venient socket for the insertion of extensionstakes, when required, without necessity for any of the clumsy contrivances now generally used for the purpose of holding such eXtension-pieces when required.
With these ends in view the invention consists in the improved construction of such stakes, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings hereto annexed, A designates the body of my improved bolster-stake, which consists ofa comparatively flat and narrow vertical plate, the side or face of which is provided with fianges B B, eonverging at or near the center, as shown at C. The lower ends of the said fianges are integral with the horizontal base-plate D, and their upper ends are connected at some distance from the top of the standard by a solid portion, E, having a re-enforcing fiange, F. The upper ends of the flanges B B form, with the ring or so ld portion E, -a socket, G, the bottom of whch is at the point where the said ribs or flanges B B converge. -This socket is necessarily and naturally of a somewhat tapering shape, which is especially adapted for the insertion and secure retention of an extensionstake, H, the lower end of which is simply pointed, so as to enable it to readily enter the said socket. The body A of the stake is formed or provided with a bolt, I, extending a sufficient distance below the base-plate D to enable the said bolt to pass vertically through the end of .a bolster, J, and'receive the nut K, whereby the stake is Secured in position upon the said bolster. The outer corners of the base-plate are provided with downwardly-eXtending lugs or lips L L, fitting against the sides of the bolster, thereby preventing the latter from splitting or spreading, adding to the security of the attachment of the stake, increasing the strength of the latter, and dispensing with the necessity of the, transverse bolt usually inserted through the end of the bolster in order to prevent it from splitting.
The operation and advantages of this invention will be readily understood from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed.
My improved bolster-stake is completein a single piece or casting, and but a single nut is needed for its attachment to the bolster. It is light and durable, being greatly strengthened by the ribs or fianges B B, which -perform the additional function of forming the socket for the insertion of an extension-stake when required.
If desired, the stake may be additionally Secured by nails or a rivet driven through the lugs L L, which may be provided with perforations for this purpose.
The devce is easily applied to any ordinary bolster, and it is neat and inexpensve.
I am aware that wagon stakes or standards have been made with a socket for the reception of an eXtension-stake, and having flanges at their lower ends' clamping the ends and sides of the bolster, and I do not claim such construction, broadly; but
In testimony that I claim the foregoing. as my own I have hereunto affixed'my'signature in o presence of two witnesses.
RICHARD GERNER.
I c1ain-- I The bolster stake consisting of` the body plate A,' having flanges B B, converging at C; and formed into a socket, G, having re-e- 5 forcing rib E, and the base-plate D, having lugs L and nutted boltI K, in combination witnesses: with the bolster J and extension-stake H; as THos; J MARSHALL, and for the purpose shown and set forth. i H.
