ROAD CART.
No. 360,180. Patented Mar. 29, 1887.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CLRENCE H. STRAIGHT AND ANTHONY J. JAMESON, OF BRYAN, OHIO, ASSIGNORS OF OYE-HALI! TO DAVID A. GARVER', OF SAME PLAOE.
ROAD-CART.
SPECIFICATION foming part of Letters Patent No. 360,180, clated March 29, 1887.
Application filcd February 7, 1887. Serial No. 226,981. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, CLRENcn H. STRAIGHT and ANTHONY J. JAMEsoN, citizens of the United States, residng at Bryan, in the county of W'illiarns and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvenients in Road- Oarts; and we do hereby declarc the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skiiled in Io the art to which it appertains to make and use the Same.
Our invention relates to the class of twowheeled Vehicles commonly called roadcarts; and it consists in certain peculiartics of construction and novel arrangenients and coinbinations of parts, as will be hereinafter fully dcscribed, and pointed out in the clairns.
In the accoinpanying drawings, which are herein referred to. and which form a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a eart embodying our invention, the wheel on the side from which the view is taken being broken away. Fig. 2 represents a half-sectional top and bottoni plan view, the
upper half of the figure representing a top plan and the lower half a bottom plan. Fig. 3 represents a side view of the Shafts and connectedparts,showing thepositionofthesprings and seat-bars when loaded. Fig. 4 represents a Sectional side View of one of the shafts and connected parts. Fig. 5 representsa side and edge view of one of the clips which bind the Springs to the shafts, and Fig. 6 a face and edge view of one of the Shaft-clips.
The reference-figures 1 2 3 4 designate, respectively, the axle, the Shafts, and the crossbar and brace for strengthening the Shafts, these parts being all constructed and arranged as usual.
5 5 designate the shaft-clips, which are bolted to the heels of the shafts, receiving the axle between their projecting ends, where it is secured by a binding-plate, 6, and nuts 7 8. The binding plate 6 is connected with or fornied on the end of a rod, 9, the forward end of which is bolted to the shaft by a bolt,a,which also secures the brace 4. The rods 9 serve as tie-rodS, to prevent the Springing or straightening of the shafts.
10 10"*designate the seat-Springs. The Springs 10 consist of flat plates curved or beut to fit lFigs. land 3.
into or under the bent or curved heels of the Shafts, where they are secured by clips 16, which bin'd them to the Shafts, and by bolts, which pass through their ends and through the shafts and one 01' both of the clips a (L5. Preferably the Springs 10 are composed of double plates, as represented in the drawings; but they maybe made of single plates, if desired. The Springs 102h are formed of fiat plates With double or S curves, as 'represented in Figs. 1 and 3. They are bolted at their forward ends to the under Sides of the shafts 2, forward of the cross-bar and brace 3 4, and their rear ends are bolted to the seat-bars 12, as also shownin The seat-bars project back over and are supported near their centers by a cross-bar, 11, which is connected at its ends by clips 11'LI to the ends of the springs 10.
13 designates the seat, which is inounted on the rear ends of the seat- bars 12, and 14 designates the Seat-rail. Thus the cross-bar 11hecoines a fulcrum for the scat-bars, and the weight of the driver on the seat is sustained by the Springs 10 10", the first sustaining a downward and the other an upward pressure.
Oheck-straps 20, connected with the crossbar 8, pass around the bar 11 and limit the play of the springs 10, in order to avoid breakage of the latter in case the wheel should strike an obstruction. In the event of one or both of the Springs 10 breaking, the Straps 20 Will support the seat-bars, and thus prevent the eart from becoming entirely disabled.
The clips 5* are preferabl y formed with T- heads at their upper ends, as represented in Fig. 6. These T-heads underlie or are overlapped by the lower ends of the Springs 10, whereby a Single bolt passing through the two clips 5 5f,the shaft 2,an(l the spring 10 unites and binds together all these parts. Moreover, the T-heads on the clips form bridges to hold the ends of the Springs 10 away froin the Shafts, whereby a play of the spring throughout its entire length is permitted and liability of breaking is lessened.
19 (See Figs. 4 and 5) designates a Spring block or cushion,which is interposed between the spring 10 and the shaft 2. It is provided on one of its faces with one or more projecting Ioo points, which enter corresponding cavities in the under side of the shaft, as represented in Fig. 4, by which it is retained in place. It is located between the arms of the clip, and as the tieplate of the latter is tightened up the block is securely clamped in place.
Cavities are formed in the under sid'es of the shafts to receive the nuts 22 of the clips 11, thus permitting the spring 10 at its forward end to lie snugly against the shaft, so as to make a smooth finish.
A foot'rest for the driver is attached to the under side of the seat-bars 12. It is composed of iron bars 15, bent as represented in Figs. 1 and 2, and a series of transverse slats or boards bolted or riveted t-hereto.`
Having thus described our invention, claim as new* 1. The combination, with the shafts 2, of the springs 10, secured thereto, the cross-bar 11, connecting the ends of said Springs,- and the seat-bars 12, secured at their forward ends to the shafts and crossing and resting upon the cross-bar. 11, as shown and described.
2. The combination, with the shafts 2, of the Springs 10, secured thereto, the cross-bar 11, connecting the ends of said Springs, the seatbars 12, crossing and resting upon the cross' bar 11, and thesprings 10a between the shafts and the forward ends of theseat-bars, substantially as shown and described. i
3? The combination, with the shafts 2 and the 30 I springs 10, of the clips 16 for binding these parts together, and the. spring blocks or cush ions interposed between the said springs and shafts, as and for the purpose described.
4. The combination, with the shafts 2 and 35 aXle 1, of the clips 5 5a and the Springs and seat-bars 10 12, the clips 5a. having perforated T-heads which are overlapped by the ends of said Springs, the parts being connected by bolts which pass through the said clips, the 4c shafts, and the ends of the springs,vsub stantially as shown and described.
In testiniony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesscs.
