CARRIAGE-TOP SUPPORT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 736,990, dated August 25, 1903.
Application filed May 25, 1903. Serial No. 158,583. (No model.)
protectors, and has for its objects to provide an article of this character that maybe secured to the folding top of any carriage and y will support the same and protect it from strain and breakage when in the lowered position and will also prevent all rattling and any shock to said top. This construction is made with suflicieut resiliency to take up all the jolts and strains between the body and the top. I attain these objects by the 0011- struction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side View of the topin a raised position. Fig. 2 is a partial rear view of the same. Fig. 3 is a side view of the top in the lowered position, andFig. 4 is a View of one end of the support.
The support comprises a spring-rod l,which is coiled at 2. This coil is slipped over the pin 3 of the carriage-top or at the end of the seat-rail. The rod is extended forward and bent into a hook 4, which engages the sidebar 5 of the top, and also upward, where it is attached to the sleeve 6. A rod 7 passes through this sleeve and carries a roller 8 at its outer end. Theinner end of this rod enters the evener 9, which is preferably a pipe, where it is held firmly by the set-screws 10. A similar rod, roller, and spring-rod are attached to the other side of the carriage-top. The roller 8 bears hard against the outer end of the sleeve 6, and as the rod cannot move outward, being held by the evener 9, no rattling can result. When the top is raised, the
support is in the position shown in Fig. 1. When the top is lowered, the rear side bow 11 rests on the roller 8. and bends down the rod 1 until its resilience compensates for the weight of the top. All jolts and strains are taken up by the springs, thus avoiding the danger of breaking the rear side bars and the other parts of the top.
The rod 1 can be easily bent in or out by any blacksmith, and with the compensation permitted by the rod 7 sliding in and out of the evener 9 allows this support to be attached to any vehicle. Various sizes of spring rods may be employed for tops of different weight.
Having now described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a carriage-top support, the combination of a coiled spring, a hook extending forward from said coil to engage the side rod of the carriage-top, a rod extending upward from said coil, a sleeve attached to said rod, a horizontal rod carried by said sleeve, a roller on one end of said rod and a pipe engaging the other end of said rod. I
2. In a carriage-top support, the combination of an upwardly-extending rod, resilient means for supporting said rod, a sleeve attached to said rod, a horizontal rod slidable in said sleeve, a roller on one end of said rod, a second rod also supported by resilient means carrying a sleeve, a rod in said sleeve carrying a roller and a connecting means between the rods.
3. In a carriage-top support, the combina tion of two coiled springs, hooks extending forward from said springs engagingthe side rods of the carriage-top, rods extending upward from said coils each having an attached sleeve, a rod slidable in each of said sleeves, rollers on the outer end of said rods, a pipe fitting over the inner ends of said rods and set-screws passing through the wall pipe and engaging the rods.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EVERETT H. MASON.
