IN VE N TOR WITNESSES:
A TTOBNEYS by the bar b and embracing the bar a, said UNITED STATES JOHN A. CRISP, OF
PATENT OFFICE.
JEFFERSON, OHIO.
SUPPORT FOR BUGGY-THILLS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 664,036, dated'December 18, 1900. Q
Application filed October 24, 1900. Serial No. 34,198. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN A. CRISP, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Jefferson, in the county of Ashtabula and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supports for Buggy- Thills, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of my improved support applied to a buggy; Fig. 2, a plan view thereof, and Fig. 3 a transverse section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail view of one of the supporting-bars, showing one of its edges notched.
The object of this invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive, efiective, and portable device for temporary attachment to a buggy for supporting or holding up the thills thereof; and it consists of certain novel features of construction and combination of parts fully set out hereinafter.
The device consists of a pair of bars a b, curved throughout their length and made fiat. The upper bar a is provided with a fork or crotch c, in which is adapted to rest the crossbar of the thill, and the lower bar I) is provided with a double fork or crotch d, which is adapted to engage the circle or other part of the buggy proper, the double fork adapting the device to different kinds of buggies. The bars overlap and lie flatwise against each other and are confined in their overlapped position by means of a pair of loops 6, carried loops being separated from each other.
The device is applied to the buggy in the manner shown in Fig. 1, the upper crotch or part c engaging under the cross-bar of the thills and one crotch or fork of the part d engaging the circle or other part of the buggy. The weight of the thills tends to swing downward and. outward the upper end of the device and to slide the bar a down upon the bar I); but because of the curvature of the bars (the curves of the bars being approximately of the same magnitude) and the fact that the radius of the circle on which the cross-bar-engaging device 0 swings is difierent from the radius of the circle on which the cross-bar itself tends to move there will be a binding action of the bar a in the loops or keepers e, which binding action will cause sufficient friction to prevent the bar a sliding downward upon the bar 1), thereby supporting the thills in their raised position. 7
It is obvious that the bar a may be notched along one of its edges, as shown in Fig. 4:, to engage one or both the loops, if desired, but in practice I have found it to be unnecessary, as the frictional resistance has proved sufficient to support the weight of the thills. It is also obvious that bar a. may be provided with a pin a. to prevent its withdrawal from the loops.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
I. A support for buggy-thills consisting of a pair of overlapping bars, the upper bar being provided with a device for engaging the crossbar of the thills and the lower bar being provided with a device for engagement with the buggy proper, and both bars being curved where they overlap, a loop or loops carried by one of the bars for holding them slidingly in their overlapped position, for the purpose set forth.
2. A thill support comprising a pair of overlapping curved bars, each having at its outer end a device for engaging a part of a vehicle and one being notched along one edge and the other being provided with a confiningloop, for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses, this 8th day of October, 1900.
JOHN A. CRISP.
