BODY-HANGER FOR VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent N0. 645,114, dated March 13, 1900.
Application filed August 5,1899- $erial No. 726,306. (No model.)
T0 at whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERBERT O. MARTELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at O0- lumbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Body-Hangers for Vehicles and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to hangers for connecting the body portions of vehicles to the springs; and it consists in the novel construction of the hanger, as hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front View of the hanger. Fig. 2 is aplan view of the hanger and spring. Fig. 3 is a cross-section through the hanger, showing parts of the vehicle-body and spring.
A is a portion of the body of a vehicle of any approved construction.
Bis a spring of any approved construction, but preferably an elliptical leaf-spring.
O is the hanger, provided at its ends with arms orattachments c, which are secured to the vehicle-body by any approved fastening devices. The middle portion of the hanger is provided with depending screw-threaded studs d. These studs are forged integral with the hanger in a series of specially-prepared dies, so that no bolt-holes are required at the middle part of the hanger. The hanger is thereby made very light and without any weak places, which are very important considerations, as these hangers are manufactured for the trade in large quantities and are sold throughout the country as articles of manufacture. The hanger is preferably oval in cross-section, and bosses d are swaged upon it at the bases of the studs, so as to form a flat bearing-surface for the spring-plate. If desired, a single long boss can be formed in stead of two separate bosses, as shown.
The spring B is provided with a laterallyprojecting plate or lug b, which is rigidly secured to it in any approved manner, as by being formed integral with it or bolted or clipped to it. The studs d are passed through holes in the plate I) and are secured by nuts 6.
The middle part of the hanger is arranged between the spring and the body and is pref erably curved downward to conform substantially with the curvature of the upper section of the leaf-spring. The arms are joined by short curved portions to the middle portion and are preferably secured to the under side of the vehicle-body.
What I claim is 1. A vehicle-body hanger provided with an imperforate middle portion having integrallyformed studs for connecting it to the spring, and having attachments for the vehicle-body at its ends, substantially as set forth.
2. A vehicle-body hanger provided with an imperforate middle portion having a bearingsurface and integrally-formed studs for connecting it to the spring, and having attachments for the vehicle-body at its ends substantially as set forth.
3. A vehicle-body hanger provided with an imperforate middle portion having downwardly projecting screw threaded studs formedintegral with it for connecting it to the spring, and having attachments for the Vehiole-body at its ends, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
HERBERT O. MARTELL.
