E. E. HENDERSON.
WAGON RUNNING GEAE.
- Patented Nov. 14, 1893.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD E. HENDERSON, OF SANFORD, FLORIDA.
WAGON RUNNING-GEAR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 508,420, dated November 14, 1893.
Application filed \Tune 24. 1898.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EDWARD E. HENDERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing .at Sanford, in the county of Orange and State of Florida, have invented a new and useful Wagon Running-Gear, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in running-gear.
The object of the present invention is to simplify and increase the durability, neatness, and lightness of runningear, and to dispense with the ordinary construction of hounds.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings: Figure l is a perspective view of a portion of a runningear embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view.
Similar numerals of reference. indicate corresponding parts in both figures of the drawlugs.
1 designates a front axle of a running-gear, having mounted on it an axle-bed 2,which is provided with a central extension 3, and which has in the lattera horizontally-elon gated opening 4. A reach 5 has its front end pivoted by a king-bolt 6 in the opening 4: of the extension of the axle-bed, and a rocking bolster 8 is arranged directly upon the extension of the axle-bed, thereby dispensing with the ordinary sand bolster. Thereach is supported by upper and lower rectangular horizontallydisposed frames!) and 10, constructed of metal and extending rearwardly-from the axle-bed and having the front ends of their sides bent downward and secured, by bolts, to the axle- .bed. The horizontal frames form simple,
zontal frames are spaced by vertical sleeves 12, which are secured in position by bolts 13,
Serial No. 478,706. (No model.)
and the latter also serve to secure the rear upper ends of inclined braces 14 to the lower frame. The lower front ends of the inclined braces are secured to the axle by bolts 15, which pass through the axle, axle-bed, and the lower one of a pair of plates 16, which are interposed between the axle-bed and bolster.
It will be readily seen that the supporting frames increase the lightness, strength and durability of running-gears, that they dispense with the ordinary construction of hounds, that they cheapen the construction, and may be readily applied to a running-gear. It will also be seen that by extending the axle-bed and arranging the parts as shown, the ordinary sand bolster is dispensed with.
Changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any ofthe advantages of this invention.
What I claim is 1. In a running-gear, the combination with a front axle, of upper and lower horizontal frames extending rearwardly therefrom and connected therewith, and a reach pivotally connected with the front axle and arranged between the horizontal frames and supported by them, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a running-gear, of horizontally-disposed frames extending rearward from the front axle and connected therewith and arranged parallel with each other,
spacing sleeves interposed between the rear portions of the frames, and inclined braces extending upward and rearward. from the front axle and secured to the rear portion of the lower frame, substantially as described.
3. The combination with a running-gear, of horizontally-disposed rectangular-frames having their front ends bent at an angle to form securing plates and extending rearward from the front axle, spacing sleeves interposed between the rear portions of the frames, bolts securing the sleeves in position, and upwardly and rearwardly inclined braces extending from the front axle and secured to the lower frame by said bolts, substantially as described. 4. In a running-gear, the combination of a front axle, an axle-bed mounted thereon and having a central upward extension provided with a horizontally-elongated opening, parallel horizontally-disposed upper and lower supporting frames extending rearward from the ax1e-bed,a reach arranged between the frames,
a king-bolt pivoting the reach in the said opening, and inclined braces supporting said frames, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
EDWARD E. HENDERSON.

EUGENE B. MOREY, ALEESTAIR MACLEOD.
