y UNITED STATEs PATENT GFFICE..
PHILIP H. LAMBERT, OF SANGERVILLE, VIRGINIA.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 559,136, dated April 28, 1896.
Application filed October 8, 1895.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, PHILIP H. LAMBERT, a citizen of the United `States of America, residing at Sangerville," in the count-y of Augusta and State of Virginia, have invented certain new `and useful Improvements in Tagen-Brakes, of which the following is a speciiication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings;
The object of this invention is to produce improvements in wagon-brakes; and it consists in means automatically operated whereby the brake may be applied or released.
A further obj ect of the invention is the provision of means whereby said application of the brake may be made to the rear wheel, on its ascending side. Furthermore, the object of the invention is to so construct the parts that they will be strong, durable, and efficient as well as comparatively inexpensive.
Vith these and other objects in View the invention consists in the novel details of construction, arrangement, and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and specifically claimed.
In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, wherein like numerals denote corresponding parts in the several views, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of a wagon with the improvements applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line .fr of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a sectional View taken on the line y y of said Fig. 1.
The wagon, or that portion `thereof which is of ordinary construction, will not be described in detail.
The tongue l. is provided with a longitudinal slot 2, extending through its rear end from side to side, and therein works a bolt or pin 3 by which the Inovement of the tongue is lim# ited. A link 4 connects the tongue with the coupling-pole 5, said pole being provided with a slot 6, in which the king-bolt 7 of the wagon slides when pushed or pulled to the rear or forward. The pole is slidable in a casing 7 a, formed on the ends of the hounds.
"tion of the pole.
A shield Serial No. 565.062. (No model.)
or covering S of metal is arranged over the pole to protect it and to prevent objects from coming in contact with and impairing the acrlliis shield is secured to the end casing 7 and extends under the bolster and is secured by the kingbolt and is designed to hold the bolsters at the same distance apart, while the poleis free to slide.
At the rear end of the pole is arranged a collar 9, having an aperture to receive a pin' 10, by which the position of the collar Inay be varied on the pole, as a series of apertures are arranged therein in the well-known manner. The pin is provided with an eye to receive a connection 11 from the brakedever 12, that the brake may be applied by hand if necessary. A hook 12b is arranged on one of the `standards to engage the handle of the brakelever to hold the brake-shoes out of contact with the wheel while backing or the like, and a spring 12a connecting the lock-lever t-o a cross-bar 13 arranged on the rear of the hounds to support the pivotally-connected brakebealns 14, carrying the brake-shoes 15. The inner ends of the beams are connected to the collar 9 by the links 16, and it will be seen that as the coupling-pin moves backward or forward it carries the collar which communi- Cates motion to the brake-beams, to apply or release the brake-shoes.. Stirrups or keepers 17 are arranged on thecross-bar, and the ends of the brake-beams are supported by and work therein. A rod 1S is secured to the front axle and extends along the under side of the tongue, and to itthe front horses are hitched, and the tongue can work back and forward without affecting the leaders, as the rod is slidable in staples or the like.
The construction and operation, as well as the advantages, will be apparent from the foregoing description, and it is particularly noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having fully described my invention in `detail, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
Ina wagon, a shield rigidly connecting the king-bolt to the hind hounds, a Coupling-pole to be drawn by the front horses, as and for slidable beneath said shield, brake-beams the purpose described. 1o adapted to be operated by the coupling-pole, In testimony whereof I'afix my signature a slidable tongue, a link connection between in presence of two Witnesses.
the tongue and the coupling-pole and a rod P. lrl. LAMBERT. secured to the front axle and extending along Vitnesses:
the under side of the tongue said rod being C. C. NOTT,
slidably connected to the tongue and adapted J. D. SMALL.
