WHIP-SOCKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part o Letters Patent No. 335,524, dated February 2,1886.
Serial No. 182 2. (No niodeLl p of this specification, and represent, in
Figure l, a front View; Fig. 2, a side View;
Fig. 3, a vertical central section on line x r,-
Fig. 4, an inside View of the principal part, the two other parts detached; Fig. 5, an inside view of the two other parts detached.
This invention relates to an improvement in whip-sockets, and particularly that class which are vertically divided, and the parts hinged together, so as to automatically grasp the whip-stock.
The object of this invention is to produce asocket which may be easily cast, and one which requires very little labor to complete it; and it consists in the construction, as hereinafter described, and particularly recited in the claims.
The socket is divided vertically.
A represents one half of the socket,adapted to be secured to a vehicle, and constructed with a notch, a, in both edges near its center, and with a lug, b, on both sides below the said notches, and also with an ear, d, at its lower' end.
B is the upper part of the other half of the socket, and corresponds to the upperportion of the half A. Its lower sides are extended downward and outward, projecting over the sides of the part A,beyond the notches a, and are provided wit-h inwardly-projecting trunnions e, adapted to set into the said notches a, and is also constructed with a spring-seat, f, on its front above the trunnions.
C is the lower portion of the second half, and corresponds to the lower portion of the part A, and is constructed with an ear at its lower end corresponding to the ear in the part A. The two parts are secured together bya rivet through the said ears. On each side of the said part C, near the top, is a hook, g, adapted to engage the lugs b. The edges at the upper ends are extended upward over the notches a and trunnions e therein, so as to hold the said trnnnionsin position. Below the upper edge of the part C is au opening, h, and on the front, at the bottom of the said opening, is a spring-seat, fi, corresponding to the seat f on the part B.
D is a flat spring, taking a bearing at one end in the seatf,extends downward inside the part C, out through the opening h and onto the seat i. As the seat fis above thetrunnions e, the tendency of the spring is to force the upper end of the part B against the part A, but yield to allow the whip to be introduced, and when so introduced will grasp the whip-stock and prevent its accidental displacement.
To prevent the possible escape ofthe spring, the seats are each constructed with a bridge, la, beneath which the end of the spring enters, and so that the ends of the spring will be substantially inclosed by the bridge.
The best method for constructing the bridge is to cast the parts with an opening, m, at the end of the seat, and directly beneath the bridge, as seen in Fig. 3, and so that the bridge may be formed in the process of casting; but the bridge may be a bar brazed or soldered over the seat.
I am aware that whip-sockets have been made in parts, the divisions being vertical and central, the parts hinged together with springs applied to force the parts into grasping position upon the whip, and yield for the introduction or removal of the Whip; and I am also aware that such sockets have been composed of three parts, one part forming one full halflength of the socket, the other two parts forming, respectively, the upper and lower half of the socket, the lower half fixed and the upper half hinged, and provided with a spring. I therefore do not wish to be understood as claiming, broadly, such construction, the essential features of my invention being the peculiar construction of connecting the hinging devices between the parts, and of the springseats, as particularly hereinafter pointed out.
I`claim- 1. The hereindeseribed Whip-socket, consisting of bhe part A, forming one vertical half of the socket, and constructed with a. notch, a, in each edge, and with a lug, b, on each side below the said notches, combined with t-he part B, forming the upper portion of bhe other 11alf,.constructed with trunnions e, seb into the notches a, and the part C, forming the lower portion of said other half secured to the part; A, and constructed with ahook, g, on each side, to engage the lugs b, its upper sides extended over the notches a, and the trunnions therein, and the spring D, arranged to bear the pari; B against the pari; A, but
yield to allow theintroduetion of awhip, subx 5 stantially as described.
2. In a Whip-socket divided vertically, the parts adapted to swing theoue from the other, seid swinging part constructed with a seat to receive t-he spring and with a bridge over said 2o seat, combined with a spring, its working end resting on said seat; and extending beneath said bridge, substantially as described.
