WILLIAM J. HAMMAN AND DANIEL HAMMAN, OF BEMENT, ILLINOIS.
WAGON BOX FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 638,239, dated December 5, 1899.
Application filed September 22, 1899. Serial No. 731,252. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, WILLIAM J. HAMMAN and DANIEL HAMMAN, of Bement, in the county of Piatt and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wagon-Box Fasteners, of which the following is a specification. I
This invention provides simplified and improved means for holding a wagon-bed in close contact with its bolsters, so that the bed will not become worn by pounding against the bolsters. It is exemplified in the structure hereinafter described, and it is defined in the appended claims.
In the drawing forming part of this specification the rear end of a Wagon-box is shown in side elevation at 1 and a bolster is represented at 2. At 3 is shown a metal strap hitched over the upper edge of the wagonbox and provided with a set of upturned hooks at its lower end. At 4 is shown a strap similar to strap 3, located on the opposite side of the bolster. A spring-rod 5 has upward extensions 6 and 8, a hook 7 being formed on the upper termination of extension 6 and an arm 9 being formed on the upper end of extension 8. A handle 10 is formed on the end of arm 9 by a sidewise bend of the rod. The hook 7 of the fastener-rod is caught over one of the hooks of strap 3, the body 5 of the rod is pressed against the under side of an end of the bolster, and the arm 9 is forced upward and sprung over one of the hooks of strap 4 in a manner to leave rod 5 under elastic stress. This holds the bed closely against the bolster.
The elasticity of the rod serves to take up wear to some extent, and the sets of hooks on the straps provide, further, for keeping the connection tight.
A pair of fastener-rods is applied,one to each end of the rear bolster, and a second pair may be applied to the front bolster, if desired, though it is the rear end of the box that is subjected to greater wear by jarring against the bolster.
As the hook 7 and the arm 9 both rest on the hooks of the straps, they are not liable to be disconnected by any one clambering into the bed and using convenient projections for steps, and the spring is cheap, simple, and durable.
What we claim is'-' 1. The combination with a Wagon-box, a bolster and upturned hooks fastened to the bed on opposite sides of the bolster, of aspringrod having ahook on one end and an arm on the other, such rod being curved to pass under the bolster and engage the hooks on the bed, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a wagon-box, a bolster and upturned hooks on the bed on 0pposite sides of the bolster, of a spring-rod 5.
having upward extensions 6 and 8, one provided with hook 7 and the other with arm 9, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof we sign our names in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. WILLIAM J. HAMMAN. DANIEL HAMMAN. Witnesses:
E. S. MCDONALD, RosA VOELOKER.
