VEHICLE-BRAKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 708,272, dated September 2, 1902. Application filed March 24, 1902. Serial No. 99,655. (No model.)
To etZL whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, J ONAS A. TAUTPHAEUS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sappington, in the county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vehicle-Brakes, 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 a brake adapted for use upon spring-wagon or other spring-vehicles, the object of the invention being to provide a construction of brake carried by the running-gear of a spring-vehicle that is simple and durable and one that is easily and.
effectively applied to the wheels of the vehicle.
My invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
Figure I is a view, partly in elevation and partly in longitudinal section, of a wagon with my brake shown applied thereto in ele-' vation. Fig. II is a perspective view of the brake. Fig. III is an enlarged detail view, partly in plan and partly in horizontal section, taken on line III III, Fig. II. Fig. IV is an enlarged detail view illustrating the manner of attachment of the rock-shaft of the brake to the vehicle.
A designates the Wheels of a vehicle, in
which are mounted the axles B, as usual.
0 is the vehicle-bed, and 1) represents the springs on which the bed is mounted.
1 designates ahanger swingingly suspended in boxes 2, fixed to the vehicle-bed O in a position forward of the rear vehicle-wheels. The hanger l is formed of a continuous piece of material and comprises a horizontal portion which is secured to the body of the vehicle and at eachend of which is a'depending portion, while the extreme ends of the hanger are outturned, as seen in Fig. II, and loosely mounted onthese outturned ends 3 of the hanger are the brake-heads 4.
5 designates a rock-shaft mounted in the seats 6 of the rear vehicle-springs D or otherwise suitably supported in proximity to the rear vehicle-axle. This rock-shaft 5 is provided with downwardly-extending arms 7 and 8, that receive the pivotal connection of the lower ends of pull-rods 9, the forward ends of which extend to the brake-heads 4. Each pull-rod 9 is provided at its forward end with an eye 10, that is fitted to the outturned ends 3 of the swinging hanger 1.
11 representseyebolts seated in the brake- .heads 4 and in which the pull-rods 9 are loosely mounted; These eyebolt-s serve to hold the brake-heads in upright position, so that they are presented to the adjacent wheels of the vehicle to be drawn thereagainst in the movement of the pull-rods.
12 is a lever-arm carried by the rock-shaft 5 and to which is attached the brake-rod 13, that leads to the brake-lever 14.
In the practical use of the brake herein described the parts are operated upon the movement of the brake-lever 14, which when moved in a forward direction causes a pull to be exerted upon the brake-rod 13 to rock the rockshaft 5. On the movement of the rock-shaft its arms 7 and 8 are thrown rearwardly and the brake-heads are moved to the vehiclewheels, their movement being freely permitted by the swinging hanger l, on which they are mounted. The brake is entirely mounted upon the running-gear of the vehicle, and therefore all its parts are firmly sustained in their working positions, so that their service may be performed eifectually on a spring-vehicle and in a mannerunaffected by themove- .ment of the vehicle-body, such as is incident to brakes carried by the body of the vehicle.
While I have-shown the rock-shaft 5 as mounted in the seat 6 at the rearof the vehicle-springs, I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to so mounting the rock-shaft, as it may be loosely supported in the clips that connect the springs to the rear vehicleaxle, as I have shown in dotted lines, Fig. IV.
I claim as my invention j 1. In a vehicle-brake, the combination with a hanger, of a pull-rod loosely connected to the hanger, and a brake-head loosely pivoted to the hanger, of an eyebolt seated in the brake-head and in which the pull-rod isrpositioned to provide a connection between pullrod and brake-head independently of-- the hanger.
2. In a vehicle-brake, the combination with a swinging hanger,suspended from the wagonbody, formed of a continuous piece of material, and comprising a horizontal portion, a
depending portion at each end of the horizonl the rock shaft, eyebolts secured in the brake tal portion, and outtnrned ends; of brakeheads and receiving the pull-rods, and means heads carried by the outturned ends of the for operating the rock-shaft.
hanger, a rock-shaft carried by the running- JONAS A. TAUTPHAEUS. gear, pull-rods secured to the outtnrned ends In presence of of the hanger between the brake-heads and E. S. KNIGHT,
the depending portion, and connecting with M. P. SMITH.
