SPRING VEHICLE.
No. 372,718. Panted Nov. 8 1887.
W/ TNEEEEE UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HARVEY P. TEFFT, OF GEEENWIOH, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-H ALF TO EDWARD O. WARD, OF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK.
SPRING-VEHICLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Fatnt No. 372,718, dated November 8, 1887.
Application filed December 11,1885.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HARVEY P. TEFFT, of Greenwich, in the county of Washington, in the State ofNew York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Spring-Vehicles, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention has more particularly reference to side-spring and side bar vehicles. In such vehicles the body is usually supported near the center of its length either on said side springs or on cross-springs hung on the central portions of the side bars. The effect of such a combination of parts is a vibration of the bottom of the body, acting as a soundingboard, which produces a very unpleasant noise.
The object of this invention is to obviate the aforesaid unpleasant effect; and to that end the invention consists, essentially, in supporting the body at its extremities on the side bars, as hereinafter more fully explained, and specifically set forth in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a side elevation of aspring-vehicle embodying my improvements; and Fig. II is an inverted plan view of the same, taken onlineazx, Fig. I.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
S represents the side spring, coupled at its ends to cross-springs S S, mounted on the headblock and hind axle in the usual and wellknown manner.
A designates the side bars, which are rigidly secured to the central portions of the side springs by clips to a, or other suitable and wellknown means.
l3 represents the body of the vehicle.
This
Serial No. 185,334. (No model.)
body may be either of a width which causes 0 it to project with its sides over the side bars, A, as seen in Fig. 2 of the drawings, or narrower to bring the body between the side bars. To the ends of the under side of the body I firmly secure either cross-bars c c or simply 5 blocks at the four corners of the body, as represented by dotted lines dd in Fig. 2 of the drawings, by which bars or blocks the body rides on the ends of the side bars, A, to which side bars the aforesaid cross-bars or blocks are also attached. The body is thus mounted at its four rigid corners on the springsupported side bars, and by the interposition of the cross-bars or blocks 0 a between the aforesaid parts the central portion of the body is isolated from the side bars, and thus the vibration of the bottom of the body and the resultant unpleasant noise are obviated.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
In a spring-vehicle, the combination of side springs, side bars mounted on said springs and extending the entire length of the body, the body reaching with its sides over the top of the side bars, and blocks or cross-bars interposed between and secured to the ends of the body and ends of the side bars, substanially as described and shown.
In testimony whereof Ihave hereunto signed my name and affixed my seal, in the presence of two attesting witnesses, at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, this 5th day of December, 1885.
