l Car-Track Clear'erf Patented )une 5L 1866* N. PETERS, PHOTULITHQGRAPHER, WASHINBTON, D C4 UNITED' STATES JOHN NUSBAUM, OF ALLIANCE, OHIO.
IMPROVED CAR-TRUCK.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 55,350, dated June 5, 1866.
To all whom t may concern' Be it known that I, JOHN NUSBAUM, of Alliance, in the county of Stark and State ot O hio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad-Car Trucks', andI do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of the same, reference bein g had to the accompanying drawings,
making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a car-truck. Fig. 2 is an end view. Fig.`3 is a view of the under side.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views.
A A represents theframe ot' the truck, oonstructed in the ordinary. way. B B are the wheels, and U C the shafts or axles.
Underneath each sideofthe truck, between the wheels, is a shoe, D, made ot' heavy plateiron, and bolted to the under side of the frame. The shoe is much wider than the thickness ot' the wheels, and projects on each side, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, on the inside equal to about the thickness of the wheel and on the outside to the extent of the frame of the truck, as. represented. The shoe is made of one piece ot' iron, the ends of 'which are divided, and then inclined upward in opposite directions, as seen in Fig.l,t`orming braces E and F, that are bolted to the under side ot' the frame otl the truck. The inside braces, F, are the widest, and are bolted to the cross-piece A of the frame. These braces, as arranged, render the shoe very strong and rm in its position, suspending it till within a few inches of the face ot' the rail. The side edges of the shoe are bent or turned downward, forming flanges e, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
The object of this shoe as constructed and arranged is for the purpose ot' preventing the the car from upsetting or turning when the axles break or the wheels get off in any way, for, il' one or more ofthe axles break or wheels get oft, the car, instead ot falling over on the ground, would be upheld andsupported by the shoes, which, being only about four inches from the rail, will drop down upon it, and the car will be retained in nearly an upright position,
and willslidealong upon the rail on the shoes. The llanges c on the sides of the shoes prevent them from sliding ot't' the rails, and they also act as a brake when thus sliding along on the rails,ading in bringing the train to astop, and prevent the tearing up ot' the ties, should. the train leave the track, bythus slidingalong over them.
What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
.Ihe shoe D, with the anges e and braces E F, in combination with the truck, in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
JOHN NUSBAUM.
