PERRY BROIVN, OF SHARONVILLE, OI-IIO, AND JOSEPH4 IV. BROVN, OF
' MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE.
WA G O N SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 445,829, dated February 3,1891.
Original application filed April 10, 1890, Serial No. 3.4%418. Divided and this application filed July 1, 1890. Serial Nc. 357,418. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, PERRY BROWN and JOSEPH lV. BROWN, citizens of the United States, residing respectively at Sharonville, Hamilton county, Ohio, and Memphis, Shelby county, Tennessee, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements inVagons, of which the following is a specification, reference be ing had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to certain i1nprove ments in the construction of wagons such as are commonly known as business wagons,77 and more particularly to the fifth-wheel and its construction, whereby they are made stronger and more durable and convenient in use; andthe invention consists in the peculiar construction, arrangement, and combinations of parts, whereby these ends are accomplished, as hereinafter more fully described, and then definitely pointed outin the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is acentral vertical longitudinal section of our improvement. Fig. 2 is a reversed plan of the same, and Fig. 3 is a front view.
Referring now to the drawings by letter, A represents the axle; B,the reach, (preferably made, mainly, of gas-pipe,) having at the front end a forked casting Z9, which receives the -tongue of the coupling b', held between the axle and a block D. Above this block is the lower halt' of the spring E, and said half of the spring, the block D, and the axle A are all securely fastened together by clips, as shown. The upper half of the spring is secured to the lower half of the fifth-wheel by a cross-bar g, which may be either cast with the lower half of the fifth-wheel or formed separately therefrom and attached with bolts, as preferred. Resting on this lcross-bar is a transfer-plate II, which is securely fastened to said crossbar by bolts, one of which passes through the upper half of the spring. The transfer-plate II is provided with a deep groove h anda cen tral recess h', in which enters a corresponding circular rib 'L' and boss t" 0f an upper transfer-plate I, bolted to a cross-bar g', preferably cast with the upper half G of the fthwheel, which half is bolted to the bars .I J J (preferably formed of angle-iron) and to the front sill K. Both halves bf the fth-wheel are provided with rims that take the strain ott of the kingbolt when in use.
By the construction above set forth we obtain many advantages, which will be apparent to the most casual observer, among which maybe given the following: the peculiar construction of the reach and its connection with the front axle, which gives strength with little weight and avoids strain when ouwe of the wheels is in a rut or going over a stone. The peculiar arrangement of the fifth-wheel also gives it great strength, and the use of the removable transferplates provides for the removal of those parts when worn.
The features here claimed are shown but not claimed in Our application filed April 10, 1890, Serial No. 847,418, ot' which this is a division.
IVhat we claim isl. The combination, with a fifth-wheel composed of two sectionsG G, one havinga crossbar g and the other a cross-bar g', of the transfer-plates I-I I, removably secured t-o said cross-bars, substantially as described.
2. A fifth-wheel composed of two sections G G', one section G having a rim itting inside the inner edge of the other and the section G having a rim tting the outside edge of the section G, in combination with the transfer-plates l-I I, removably attached to the cross-bars on the fifth-wheel sections, substantially as described.
3. The combination, with a Wagon-spring and a fifth-wheel having a cross-bar provided with a recess to receive the spring, of a removable transfer-plate bolted over the recess and spring, substantially as described.
Il. The combination,in a wagon, of atubular reach B, a forked end l), having one end secured to said reach and the other end perforated, and a coupling b, fitted in and pivotally connected with said forked end and having a neck, with an axle A and block D, set, respectively, under and over the neck of said coupling and fitting said neck, all substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
