U NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PATRICK D. KEARNEY, OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.
VEHICLE-AXLE.
FjI-ECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 315,041, dated April 'I, 1885.
Application filed February 2, 1885. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PATRICK D. KEARNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Trusses or Axle-Supports, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to improvements in trusses or axle-supports, and has for its object to provide wagons with a very strong support to the axles for a given Weight of material. This object is attained by the devices shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a view taken from the under side of an axle. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of an axle and truss,taken on the linear of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an elevation of an axle and truss, taken from the rear.
The letter A indicates a truss, which is secured to the axle B by means of bolts E and clips D, or in any other convenient manner. This truss is formed of thin metal, and consists, preferably, of a single. piece of metal, approximating the shape of an inverted letter U. The part A is made fiat, to receive the bottom of the axle B, and has downwardlyturned flanges A, the lower edges of which, a, have a cross-section approaching that of an oval, as this form adds considerably to the strength of the flanges A, while it adds but little to the weight. 7
The principle of my construction consists in so placing the flanges A that the strain comes upon the edge thereof instead of fiatwise.
O are the hounds, which are secured to the axle B by the bolts E, which also aid in holding the truss in its place.
Having described my invention, what I dedesire to secure by Letters Patent and claim 1s- An axle-truss composed of a single piece of thin metal bent so as to approximate the shape of an inverted letter U, and havingthe lower cross-section of the flanges thereof nearly of oval shape, as described, and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
PATRICK D. KEARNEY.
