I I GEORGE WV. FARRELL, OF AU SABLE FORKS, NEWYORK.
-CARRIAGE-G EAR.
' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,480, dated December 17, 1889.
Application filed March 22, 1889. Serial No. 304,358- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. FARRELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Au Sable Forks, in the county of Essex and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Running-Gear for Vehicles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention has reference to the runninggear of vehicles; and it consists in the imtional View of a vehicle having a modified form of gearing.
The rear axle O and front axle D each have secured at each side of the respective centers side springs a, which are pivotally connected to said axles by means of clips 00. As shown in Fig. Leach of said springs a is composed of a distinct front and rear member, bent slightly semi elliptical, its upper inner end being bent, as shown, to form a horizontal bearing portion for the attachment of the short blocks a upon which the body rests. These blocks a are preferably braced relative to each other by a transverse brace a Atthe front a metallic brace is employed, consisting of two downwardly-curved rods B, converging toward each other at their lower terminal portions, at which point they terminate in eyes b, horizontally perforated for pivotal attachment to a clip 0, secured to the front axle and to the head-block thereof. The upper separated ends of these rods B are likewise provided with horizontally-perforated eyes abutting against the inner sides of the blocks a, to which they are bolted adjacent to their forward ends, as indicated at E.
Brace-rods B are secured to the rear axle outside of the longitudinal plane of I the springs and blocks, and said rods B incline forward and inward and carry at their upper ends horizontally-perforated eyes, each bolted on the outer face of the adjacent block, as
that the disposition of the braces is such that I the springs are entirely relieved from the strain usually experienced when the wheel comes in contact with an obstruction.
In Fig; 3 the upper bent bearing portion of each of the spring members is absent, the plain ends of said springs being secured to the bottom of theblocks.
I claim 1. The combination, in running-gear for vehicles, of the independent side springs connected to the independent blocks, as described, and adapted for attachment to the front and rear axles, and each composed of two disconnected members, each separately connected to its block, together with the rear braces connected to the outer sides of said blocks, and front braces connected to the inner sides thereof and to the axle, whereby the reach is dispensed with, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination, in running-gear for vehicles, of the independent side springs 1 connected to the independent blocks, as described, and adapted for attachment to the front and rear axles, and each composed of two disconnected members, each separately connected to its block, together with rear inclined braces connected to the outer side of said blocks, and front inclined braces c011- nected to the inner sides thereof and downwardly converging and connected to a central clip on the front axle, whereby the reach is dispensed with, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination, in running-gear for vehicles, of the independent side springs connected to the independent blocks, as detinct front and rear braces, whereby the scribed, and each consisting of two disconreach is dispensed with, substantially as set neeted downwardly-curved members eonforth.
nected to the front and rear axles, respect- GEORGE WV. FARRELL. 5 ively, and each having their inner end bent \Vitnesses:
back upon itself to form a bearing portion, FRED E. TRUMBULL,
together with independent blocks and dis- THOS. D. TRUMBULL.
