NiTED STATES OBEN E. MILES, OF
AURORA, ILLINOIS.
AIMPROVEMENT IN WAGON-STAN DARDS.
Speeilication forming part of Letters Patent No. 40,422, dated October 27, ldt?.
To all whom t may concern.
Be it known that I, O. E. MILES, ot' Aurora, iu the county of Kane, in the State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in the Construction of Uprights for Wagons and other Vehicles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, prepared with a view to the `obtainin g of Letters Patent therelhe accompanying drawings form 'a part of this specifica-tion.
4Figure-1 is a side view, Fig. 2 an end view, and Fig. 3 alplan view, of one of my stakes or uprights, together withl a portion of the bolster or cross-timber, to which it is secured. Figs. 1 and 2 show also a part of an additional piece of Wood inserted to lengthen the upright, and
Fig. 2 shows a part of a binding-rope properly inserted. Fig. 4. is a side elevation, Fig. 5
a longitudinal section, and Fig. 6 half of a plan view, of a-different form of casting, which may be secured -to a boltser in a similar manner, and made to realize a part of the conditions attained by the one shown in Figs. 1, 2,
and 3. The form `shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 6 is intended mainly for trucks and sleds for drawing logs and the like articles which are loaded and unloaded by rolling or otherwise moving them sidewise over the tops of these short castings. Fig. 7 is a perspective View of my invention in'very nearly the same form as is shown in Figs. 1,2, and 3. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the same casting shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 6.
Similar letters ot reference indicate corresponding parts in all-the figures.
lieu of the ordinary stout wood braced by slender wrought-iron rods a east-iron part peculiarly locked and secured upon the bolster or cross-timber.
The objects accomplished b v my invention, whenifuily and properly developed, are very important.` Among them are an increase in the strength ot' the structure as compared with the devices usually employed, a decreased expense for construction and repairs, a'facility for repairing with little skill and simple tools, a means ot' makingthe connection of these important parts perfectly rigid after the wood has shrunk considerably, and
ncreased facility for adapting the vehicle for carrying safely and convenienti very different kinds of'loads. n
In the usual mode ot' constructing the main uprights and securing them to the holsters ot' wagons the wooden stakes or standards are.-4 mortised through the bolsters at their ends,
thus greatly weakening them, and are secured thereto by several wrought-iron braces, which. are att-ached by bolts and rivets. Be-
sides these a band is usually required around v the end of the bolster to prevent it from splitting. This, from its complicated "nature, is expensive and troublesome. When the wood shrinks, it becomes more or less loose, and if ,the parts are broken'7 an expensive job of repairing isinvolved, and .one which requires wrights and smiths, very difficult to command in many situations.
To enable others skilled in the arts to which my improvement relates to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it by the aid of the drawings and of the letters lof reference marked thereon.
A is a body having a foot, a a e, with a 'shouldered recess in-its under side, which, when the bolster B is dressed to a proper form and the end rounded to a compass-mark, as
will be readily understood, is easily and quickly fitted thereto, so as to be secure against slipping either endwise or laterally. 'lhe iiange e, which projects down from the under edge of the foot, keeps the stake in position and prevents water from getting under the casting, and the part a 'of the foot is let into the bolster, as indicated by the dotted lineiu Figs. l, 2, and 7, and in the section Fig. 5, so
.. as to hold the casting very firmly against slipy ln carrying out my invention I employ in ping endwise. The clip o passes around the the foot a., on each side secured by nutsfc c". A eountersunk bolt, d, also passes down devices before described, hold the casting very'stifiiy and strongly. This structure is so shaped and applied that it weighs even less than the ordinary wooden stake otl equal The opening seen at It furnishes convenient vmeans for. securin g a binding-rope when one is used. lu case of the casting getting loose by the shrinkage of the bolster P), it may be tightened with the greatest facility by an orunder side of the bolster B and up through through a', having a nut, lf/,.on the under side of the bolster. .l'hese, with the aid of the strength with its wrought-iron work attached.
dinary Wrench applied to Vthe nuts in the man ner which is obvious. In the eyent'of the casting A a e. e, or either ofthe fastenings cor d, getting broken, a new one, which may V4be made in large quantities, so as to involve extension-piece, which may be a wooden bur,
Gr, This will be found desirable when very bulky loads are carriedsuch as rails, sugarcane, die. The opening g admits a key lto eonfine the mp, if desired.
lagons are sometimes constructed with an extra piene or box to be used on the top of the other when the loading,` requires it. Such an upper boit is ordiinirily secured to the lower `one by cleats screwed to the upper one and passing through staples inserted in the lower box, but these cleats and staples are very liable to get out or" repair. With my invention a set .of extra stakes may be screwed to sueh upper box, (not relnesentetb) with their" lower ends tting into jthese' sooketsf, so as to be readil y applied and renloved, and by the aid Vof keys,passing.;` through the holes g the whole` may be united very rigidly. v
In the shorter form of my upright, (shown in Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 7,-) intended for drawing logs, 85e., the foot andfastenings are the same as before described; Vbut I prefer to make the casting .A only about four inohes in heighty and provide.l it with a simple lrectangular socket. This casting admits of a log being easily rolled over it when required, and is Capable of receiving a Wooden stake of suitable form and height for holding the load.
Having now fully described `my invention,
what I ela-iin asnew, and desire to secure byy Letters Patent, is as follows:
1. A east-metal upright for vehicles, adapted to be secured against lateral and end movements upon .the bolster, substantially in the manner and for the purposeI herein set forth.
2. The'speeitio arrangement of the' several parts in the base of my said upright, the lip oi:` llange e being adapted to project down on' both sides and at the end, andthe part a being letv into the top of the bolster B at some distance from the end, all ashore-in set forth.
