UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
DAVID S. ANDERSON, OF MOGRAVVILLE, NEW YORK.
SLElGl-i.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 378,821, dated February 28,1888.
Application filed January 17, 1888. Serial No. 260,981. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, DAVID S. ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mc- Grawville, in the county of Cortland and State of New York, have vinvented certain new and useful Improvementsin Sleighs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and iigures of reference marked thereon.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in sleighs, and has for its object the production of a light pleasure or heavydraft sleigh, in which those violent j ars caused by obstacles, depressions, &c., in the road are nearly or quite avoided, and one in which short turns may be made with ease and safety and the sleigh less liable to be upset.
To the above ends, and to such others as the invention may pertain, the same consists in the peculiar combinations andthe novel construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then particularly pointed out in the claims.
Theinvention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which represents a side view of a sleigh constructed in accordance with my invention.
Referring to the drawing by letter, A designates the body of the sleigh, which may be of any approved construction and may be as ornamental as desired.
B designates the runners, which are formed in two parts, the adjacent parts of thetwo runners on each side of the sleigh being curved, as shown, and arranged to leave a space, C, between them. The curved ends a of the runners are secured to the sill b of the body A by means of suitable bolts.
D is a suitable clip ortie connecting the two parts of the runner together, as shown. Depending from the central cross-bar, c, is a brace, d, extending down to the clip D.
E is a brace-rod connecting the rear crossbar, f, with the rear end of the runner, and F is a similar brace connecting theforward crossbeam, g, with the forward part of the runner.
h are curved brace-rods secured to the bracerod E and connecting the same with the rear stances is avoided; also, in turning around,
the space C provides a passage for the snow which usually gathers at the center of the runner, thus avoiding strain on the gear and the danger of upsetting; also sliding, sluing, Src., so common to long runners and so annoying and many times dangerous, is in a great degree remedied.
I am aware that it has been proposed to construct a runner for attachment to the wheels of a vehicle whereby the same may be readily put upon runners in case of snow, said runner being arched between the Wheels to lessen the friction, and do not claim such as of my invention.
What I claim as new isl. The combination, with the sleigh-body, of a runner formed of two parts secured to the sill of said body, with a space, O, between the adjacent running surfaces thereof, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with the sleigh-body, of the runner formed in two parts secured to the sill of said body and curved at their adjacent portion, with a space, C, between them, substantially as described.
3. The combination, with the sleigh-body and the cross-beams, of the runners having their adjacent curved ends secured to said body, the clip D, the brace-rods E F, the curved braces hz', and the lateral brace G, all constructed and arranged substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
DAVID S. ANDERSON.
