VEHICLE-SHAFTS.
SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 450,167, dated April 14,1891.
Application filed November 3, 1890. Serial No. 370,159. (No model.) I
T0 all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, HENRY H. Looxwoon, a citizen of the United States, residing at Olean, in the county of Oattaraugus and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Shafts for Vehicles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the sanne.
Figure l is a side view. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the knuckle, and Fig. 4 a side View thereof.
This invention relates to improvements in vehicle shafts, more particularly to shafts which are to be used on two-wheeled vehicles, and which shafts are made in two parts adjustable vertically on each other to be adapted to animals of different heights.
The invention consists in the construction hereinafter set forth.
In the annexed drawings, the letter A represents the inner portion or part of the shaft which is fastened to the vehicle and has the spring-hangers co a', a detailed description of which hangers is not necessary, as they are no part of the present invention. The front end of this portion A .has the knuckle part B of the joint between the two parts of the shaft. This part B is slipped onto the wooden piece a2, the latter fitting into the socket b. The part B has the two curved shoulders b b', struck from the hole b2. Projecting outwardly from these shoulders is the stem b3, in which is the hole b2, and this stem b3 has at its end the barrel C. This iscylindrical in shape,
has a rounded surface, and is longer trans- 4 versely. Fitted to this portion A is the other portion D of the shaft. This has at its lower end d a socket E for the knuckle B.l This socket has rounded cheek-pieces e, to fit the curved shoulders b b', and the stem b3 cornes between these cheek-pieces. In this socket is put the two set-screws F F, and when the parts are together these set-screws bear on the barrel C. A brace-rod Gr is secured to the two parts, and is adjustable at the end g by the slotted plate and screw II. A bolt passes through the cheek-pieces e and the stem b3, holding the parts together. This forms a shaft in two parts hinged together and adj ustable. By turning the set-screws F F the two parts can be properly set at any desired angle. The barrel C being curved, lthe set-screws bind rmly on it in Whatever position it is set.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim isl. A shaft composed of two parts, one having a knuckle and the other a socket, in cornbination with set-screws in the socketed part and bearing on the knuckle, as set forth.
2. The combination of the part A, having the knuckle B with the barrel C, and the part D, having the socket E and the set-screws F F, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
HENRY Il. LOCKV'OOD.
