SPRING-HANGER FOR UNDERHUNG LOCOMOTlVE-SPRINGS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 690,851, dated January 7, 1902. Application filed Mayl i 1901, Serial No. 60,228. (No modeli) and light hangers, consisting mainly of two pieces, one being a bearer bolted to the bottom of the driving-box and removable from the same without dropping the box out of the jaws of the frame forming the guide for the drawing-box by simply removing the pedestal foot-brace, and the other being a yoke suspended from said bearer and supporting the spring-rest below the spring, as hereinafter described, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figurefl is a side elevation of part of the,
side frame of a locomotive. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the bearer. Fig. 4 is a side view of said bearer. Fig. 5 is an end view of said bearer.
A represents part of a side frame of a locomotive, the jaws between which the drivingbox 0 is applied, and at the underhung spring, carrying the frame-bearers at its ends,respectively, in the usual way, which need not be described. The yoke supporting bearer of my improvement comprises the bar 9, having the rounded upper side and the end pieces h, the latter being adapted for bolting to the bottom of the driving-box at f. The yoke is a strap 7l,bent double at the middle and adapted tohang on the bar 9. Its ends are reinforced by the parts j, doubled back for greater strength to support thepin'lc, from which the spring Z is suspended. It will be seen that by taking off the foot-brace m of the jaws the hanger can be detached without removing the driving-box.
The rest of the parts shown are of usual construction and need not be described.
The lightness and simplicity of my improved spring-hanger are manifestl' What I claim as my invention is- Ina spring-hanger for underhung locomotive-spring's, the combination of a bearer consisting of the yoke-supporting bar with end pieces adapted to bolt on-thebottom of the driving-box, and the yoke suspended on said bar and having the spring-bearer connected to it between the ends of its two members.
