PATENT OFFICE.
FRANCIS B. AGLAR, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR TO THE INTER- CHANGEABLE BRAKE BEAM BRAKE SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 658,972, dated October 2, 1900.
Application led April 9, 1900.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANCIS B. AGLAE, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brake-Beams, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improved Inanner of constructing the lever-fulcrum of a brake-beam and of attaching it to the beam.
My invention consists in features of novelty hereinafer fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
Figure I is a perspective view of a brakebeam, showing my improvement. Fig.-II is a perspective view of the head ofthe fulcrum. Fig. III is a perspective view of the shank of the fulcruin. Fig. IV is an enlarged section taken on line IV IV, Fig. I. Fig. V is an enlarged section taken on line V V, Fig. IV.
Referring to the drawings, l represents the body of the beam; 2, thebrake-shoe heads; 3 the guard-fingers, 'and 4 the hanger-eyes, held in place by the guard-fingers.
5 represents the head of the lever-fulcrum, and 6 its stem or shank. The head is formed to fit the body of the beam, upon which it is held from movement by a bolt 7.
The face of the head 5 is formed with diagonally-arranged crossing dovetail grooves 8, adapted to receive a dovetail rib 9 on the serial No. 12,058. cro man.)
ment in the direction of its length by a bolt or screw l0. The stem is provided with the usual slot 1l to receive the brake-lever and With a hole 12 to receive the pivot-bolt of the lever.
By providing the head 5 with diagonal grooves to receive the stem of the fulcrum, the stem can be quickly and readily adjusted for either a right or left hand support for the lever, as circumstances may require.
I claim as my invention- 1. In a brake-beam, a lever-fulcrum consisting of ahead fitted to the beam and having diagonally-arranged grooves, and a stem having a rib adapted to fit and be held in said grooves in combination with the bolt 10, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a brake-beam, a lever-fulcrum consisting of a head having diagonally-arranged dovetail grooves, a stem having a dovetail rib adapted to fit in said grooves, and a bolt for holding said rib from movement in the direction of its length in said grooves, substantially as described.
3. ,In a brake-beam, a lever-fulcrnm comprising a head having diagonally-arranged dovetail grooves, a stem having a dovetail rip adapted to fitin said grooves, and the bolt for holding said rib from movement in the direction of its length in said groove.
FRANCIS B. AGLAR. In presence of- E. S. KNIGHT,
