SLEIGH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,493, dated November 27, 1888.
Application filed February 7, 1888. Serial No. 263,266. (No model.)
adapted to pass over rough roads, and it will be fully and clearly hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the po sition of the several parts while on a level road. Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the position of the several parts while passing over a rough or uneven road. Fig. 3 represents a vertical cross-section through line a b, Fig. 4:. Fig. 4 is a top plan View.
1n said drawings, c and d represent the ordinary bob-sleighs, made and put together iu any welleknown way. The forward sleigh is pivoted to the usual cross-bar or bolster, 2, by the bolt 4. To this bolster the reach 3 is also secured by the bolt 4, or in any well-known way. The rear sleigh is secured to the reach 8 by a removable bolt, 5, which passes through the end of a short pole, 6, and then through the reach, and is secured by a nut, 7. The short pole G is rigidly fastened to a cross bar, S, which bar is pivoted to the sleigh by pins 9. At the top of the rear sleigh are two parallcl bars, 1U, rigidly secured by bolts or in any well-known way to the cross bars 11. These bars 10 are each provided with upwardly-projecting end pieces, 12, upon which is rigidly secured a round bar, 13, by bolts 14. (Shown in Fig. 3.) Upon each of the round bars 13 is a sleeve, 15, adapted to slide easily back and forth on said bars. These sleeves 15 are pivoted by pins 16 to holding-pieces 1'7, projecting down from the bolster 18, to which they are rigidly fastened by bolts 19. (Shown in Fig. 3.) To the bolster .1S is secured by diagonal rods 20 a sleeve, 2l, adapted to it and move easily back and forth along the It is secured to the reach by dropreach 3.
ping a bolt, 22, down through the sleeve and reach. The reach 3 passes loosely through the bolster 18, and is provided with a series of holes, 23, near the forward end and a series of holes, 24, near the rear end. The object of this construction is to provide the means for adjusting the distance the two sleighs shall be apart, and also to afford the means for adjusting the position of the rear bolster separately, so that the position ofthe load may be changed. On a hard road it is better to have the load rest more toward the rear ofthe sleigh, and when the road is soft it is better to have it brought forward so that it will rest nearer the center of the sleigh. It will be seen from this construction, (by referring to Figs. 1 and 2,) when the front end of the rear sleigh drops down into a depression or hollow place in the road, the bolster 18 will be shifted back toward the rear of the sleigh, and consequently the position ofthe load along with it. This is au important advantage, as it renders the front part ofthe sleigh easier to be raised up out of the depression or hole. If desired, a rubber or other spring, 26, (shown in Fig. 2,) may be put on the guideways 13 to prevent rattling.
I. claim as my invention In a bolrsleigh, the combination ofthe front sleigh with a reach pivoted to the front bolster, and having two series of perforatious, 23 24, a rear sleigh provided with longitudinal guideways rigidly secured to it, a rear bolster, through which the rearend of the reach passes, provided with a sleeve, 2l, secured thereto by diagonal rods, and with oscillating sleeves pivoted to its under side, through which the guideways pass, so that they may slide easily back, and forth thereon, a bolt, 5, for adjusting the rear sleigh to or from the front sleigh, and a bolt, 22, for adjusting the position of the bolster ou the rear sleigh, substantially as and for the purposes described.
