VEHICLE-AXLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 710,431, dated October 7, 1902. Application iiled April 25, 1902. Serial No. 104,681. (No model.)
T0 a/ZZ whom, t 71mg/ concern:
Be it known that we, REUBEN B. CORNETT and GEORGE G. WALKER, citizens of the United States, residing at Cherokee, in the county of San Saba and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Vehicle-Axle, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to vehicle-axles.
The object of the invention is to afford ready and efficient means whereby a spindle that is worn out may be replaced Aby a new one Without requiring welding to the axletree.
With these and other objects in view, as will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction and combination of parts of a vehicle-axle, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specilication, and in which like -numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views, there is illustrated one form of embodiment of the invention 'capable of carrying the same into practical operation, it being understood that the elements therein exhibited may bevaried or changed as to shape, proportion', and exact manner of assemblage without departing from the spirit thereof, and in these drawings- Figure 1 is a view in perspective of one endof an axle, showin g the manner of assembling the spindle therewith. Fig. 2 is a View in vertical longitudinal section: Fig. 3 isaview in transverse section, taken on theV line 3 3, Fig. 2, and looking in the directionv of the are row thereon. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective View of a brace-plate or clamp used in connection with this invention.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the ordinary axletree, and 2 the bolster. The axletree is provided with a threaded terminal 3 to be engaged by one end of a threaded coupling 4, the other end of which engages the threaded terminal 5 of the spindle G. In practice itis designed to furnish the spindle as an article of manufacture with a threaded terminal 5, the threads of whichf are to. be of standard gage, asalso the coupling, so that when a spindle wears out one may readily be ordered and fitted to place. As herein shown, the coupling 4 is made of avlength of cylindrical tubing, and its upper portion therefore 'projects somewhat above the upper face of the axle 3 and the rear portion of the spindle, and under these conditions it will be necessary to cut away the under sideof the bolster to accommodate the coupling; butit is to be understood that this coupling may be made rectangular in cross-section, and as this will be readily understood detailed illustration thereof is deemed unnecessary.
, As a means for preventing the spindle from turning in the coupling when once assembled therewith and also to brace both the spindle and the coupling, a clamp-plate 7 is provided, -having laterally-perforated ears 8, through which are adapted to pass the terminals of a pair of clips 9, that also operate to clamp the bolster securely upon the axletree, coupling, and shank of the spindle. The terminals of this clamp are provided with studs or projections lO, adapted to fit in recesses l1 and l2,
formed, respectively, in the underside of the axletree and in the shank of the spindle, thereby positively precluding the possibility of the spindle turning within the coupling.
As herein shown, the intermediate portion of the brace-plate is concaved, as at 13, to fit closely around the coupling; but when the coupling is rectangular in cross-section, as above described, thisportion of the clamp- 'plate will be dat.
To apply a spindle to the axletree, it will only be necessary to loosen the clips 9, thus to detach the bolster and the clamp-plaie, unscrew the spindle from the coupling, position the new one, and then assemble the bolster and clamp-head as before.
It will be seen from the foregoing description that by the employment of this form of device any person having ordinary mechanical ability may supply a new axle for one that is worn out without the necessity of the employment of skilled labor for 'the purpose and without loss of time.
Having thus fully described our invention, whatwe claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination with an axletree provided with a threadedterminal, of a threaded coupling engaging the terminal, a brace-plate clamped against the under side of the axle IOO and the spindle, and engaging the coupling, p
venting the spindle from turning in the coupling. i
2. The combination with an axletree provided with a threaded terminal, and in its under side with an orifice, of a threaded coupling engaging said terminal, a spindle having a threaded terminal engaging the coupling and provided in its under side With an orifice, a bolster disposed on top of the axletree, coupling, and shank of the spindle,
and a brace-plate clamped against the axletree, coupling and shank of the spindle, the brace-plate being provided with studs or projections for engaging said orifices.
3. The combination With an axletree provided With a threaded terminal, and in its under side with an orifice, of a threaded coupling engaging the terminal, a spindle having a threaded terminal engaging the coup- REUBEN B. CORNETT. GEORGE G. WALKER.
