SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 698,000, dated April 22, 1902.
Application filed January 28, 1902. Serial No. 91.619. (No model.) I
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALMoN HOLDIN FLINT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Moira, in the county of Franklin and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sleighs 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 has relation to sleighs, and more particularly to the running-gear, the purpose being to combine therewith supporting-springs for the body, whereby unpleasant jar and shock are taken up and prevented from being transmitted to the rider.
The invention also has for its object a novel assemblage of elements and simplicity of con- 'struction and the provision of a running-gear which while light and graceful in appearance is durable and braced at every point, so as to resist ordinary usage to which a vehicle of the character aforesaid is subjected.
For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction of the means for effecting the result reference is to be had to the following description and drawings hereto attached.
While the essential and characteristic features of the invention are susceptible of modification, still the preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whic Figure 1 is a perspective View of a sleigh constructed in accordance with and embodying the essential features of the invention. Fig. 2 is a top view of the runninggear, the body being omitted. Fig. 3 is a side elevation. Fig. at is a perspective View of the springs and raves.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
The body of the sleigh may be of any design or make, and its shape does not affect the scope of the invention.
The running-gear comprises runners 2,raves 3 and at, knees 5, connecting cross-bars 6, and braces. The raves 3 form seats for side bars 7 which are clipped thereto and are attached to the upper ends of the knees 5, which latter curve upwardly and inwardly. The fenderraves tare in the plane of the raves 3, and their front ends curve upwardly and inwardly and are connected to the ends of the raves 3 and runners at theirpoint of juncture. The cross-bars 6 are extended beyond the raves 3 and are rigidly attached at their outer ends to the fender-raves and serve to tie the parts 3 and 4, as well as brace the running-gear laterally. Curved braces 8 are secured at their upper ends to the cross-bars 6 and at their lower ends to the knees 5, and other braces 9 connect the outer ends of the crossbars 6 with the said knees. Braces 10 are connected at their lower ends to the runners 2 and at their upper ends to the knees 5, so as to resist longitudinal strain. Forward braces 11 incline in an opposite direction to the forward braces 10 and are connected at their upper ends to the front knees and at their lower ends to the runners. The intermediate knees are vertically arranged, Whereas the front and rear knees are oppositely inclined, the rear knees being inclined forward and the front knees inclined rearward at their upper ends. Braces 12 span the angles formed between the upper forward ends of the runners and raves 4.
The thills 13 have the cross-bar 14, connected to hounds 15, attached at their rear ends to the front cross-bar 6, the cross-bar being likewise attached to the inner side of the upturned ends of the runners, as shown most clearly in Figs. 1 and 3.
The cross-bar 17 has its ends bent approximately at a right angle and apertured to re seat-raves, side springs supported by the side bars, a rear spring shackled to the side springs, a rod or bar connecting the front ends of the side springs, a sleigh-body supported upon the rear spring and front bar connecting the side springs, thills, and hounds connecting the cross-bar of the thills with the front crossbar joining the raves, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
