Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
MATHEW KEHOE, OF OUSHING, IOWVA.
EVENER FOR BUGGY-POLES.
. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 595,441, dated December 14, 1897.
Application filed July 24, 1897. Serial No. 645,811. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MATHEW KEHOE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oushing, in the county of Woodbury and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Evener for Buggies, of which the following is a specification.
My object is to relieve the singletrees, pivotally connected with the ends of the doubletree, from torsional strain and to avoid the.
and combined with a carriage-pole, a doubletree and sin gletrees, an evener, and stay-rods, as hereinafter set forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a diagrammatical view of a blank metal plate and metal strip adapted in shape to produce a support for an evener and to strengthen a pole. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the plate and strap bent into form as required to be fitted and fixed to a pole and the cross-piece at the rear end of the pole to support an evener elevated on a level with the singletrees on the ends of a doubletree and to connect the evener with the singletrees asrequired to restrict the movements of the evener, doubletree, and singletrees and to prevent torsional strain of the parts and their fastenings incident thereto when rods connecting the singletrees and doubletree with the ends of the evener are not on a level and the rods connecting them incline from their rear ends. upward from the eveners to the singletrees. Fig. 3 shows all the parts combined as required for practical use.
The letter A designates a pole that has a fixed cross-piece B at its rear end and braces c and c, that terminate in rear extensions adapted to be detachably connected with an axle D.
F is a metal plate that has lateral -extensions g and g, bent into form, as shown in Fig. 2, to serve as feet to retain the plate elevated when fixed to the pole and cross-piece, as shown in Fig. 3.
II is a metal bar or strip integral with or fixed to the plate F and bent to conform in shape with the pole A, as required, to be fixed on top thereof by means of rivets and bolts to aid in supporting the plate and reinforcing the pole. Extensions 7c and It atthe corners of the plate are bent upward to serve as stops to restrict the vibratory motions of the evener and doublet-rec.
L is a doubletree pivoted to the pole by means of a bolt that extends through a hole in the reinforcing-strap H and a coinciding hole in the pole.
m is an evener, about one-third as long as the doubletree, pivoted on top of the elevated fixed plate F by means of a bolt that extends through a perforation in the plate.
n and n are metal rods pivotally connected with the ends of the evener m and the coup lings r and '1', that connect the singletrees s and s with the ends of the doubletree L in such a manner that power applied to the singletrees by horses hitched thereto will be evenly distributed to the evener m by means of the rods n and n, that extend in a plane that is level with the top surfaces of the evener and the singletrees. Torsional strain of the evener, the doubletree, and their fastenings, and the singletrees will be thus prevented and the vibratory motions of the evener and donbletree restricted by the stops 7c and lo at the corners of the elevated plate F whenever one end portion of the evener comes in contact withone of said stops.
From the foregoing description of the construction and function of the evener-support and pole-reinforcement and the arrangement and combination of all the operative parts the novelty and utility of my invention will be readily understood by persons familiar with the art to which it pertains.
I claim as my invention- 1. A support for an evener and reinforcement for the pole of a two-horse vehicle consisting of the metal plate F having integral feet g and g at its rear corners for fastening the plate and retaining it elevated and also having integral stops lo and at the front corners and a forward extension H, for the purposes stated.
2. An evener for a two-horse vehicle comprising an evenersupport F having integral feet g and g at its rear corners, upward-projecting stops 7c and 70 at its front corners and a forwa rd-extending strap 11, fixed to the top and rear end portion of a pole and a crosspiece fixed to the rear end of the pole, at doubletree, two sin gletrees, an evener pivoted on top of the support F, rods connected with the ends of the evener and with the singletrees and doubletree, and stay-rods fixed to the pole and the ends of the cross-piece at the rear end of the pole and the axle of a vehicle, all arranged and combined as and for the pur- IO poses stated.
MATHEW KEI-IOE.
