SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 774,364, dated November 8, 1904.
Application filed April 29,1904. Serial No. 205,589. (No model.)
This invention relates to brakes for wagons and other similar vehicles; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the front axle and running-gear of a wagon, showing the brake in position. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same with one of the wheels removed.
A is the front axle ofawagon or other similar vehicle, and B represents the front wheels journaled on the end portions of the said axle.
O is the running-gear, which is of any approved construction, and D represents the hounds, which project in front of the axle.
E represents guide-brackets secured to the running-gear behind the axle, and eis a brakebeam which is slidable in the said brackets. This brake-beam is provided with brakeblocks on its end portions, which are pressed against the peripheries of the said wheels. F represents two similar levers, which are pivoted on pins f, which pass through the said brackets. Gr represents rods which are pivoted to the outer end portions of the said levers. These rods are screw-threaded and are inserted in holes in the end portions of the brake-beam, and f represents nuts on the screw-threaded portions of the said rods for regulating the position of the brake-beam as the brake-blocks become worn and for connecting the brake-beam with the said rods.
Gr is a shaft which passes through the front end portions of the bounds.
H is the wagon-pole provided with a doubleforked end portion it, having horizontal slots h, which are normally slidable over'the shaft G between the hounds:
I is a pin which is carried by the forked end portion it behind the shaft G.
J represents rods the rear ends of which are pivoted to the inner end portions ofthe levers F by pins The front end portions of these rods have plates or links, which are provided with vertical slots t' which are slidable upon the pin 1. These slots permit the pole to be moved pivotally on the shaft G without bending the rods, and the said rods are cranked and curved, so as to clear the axle.
K represent-s removable push-pins which are inserted in holes in the forked end portion 72. of the pole in front of the shaft G. I When these push-pins are in the holes, the Wagon can be backed by means of the pole without applying the brake blocks to the wheels. When the push-pins are removed, the pole slides rearwardly upon the shaft G and the rods turn the levers on their pivot-pins, so that the brake-blocks are applied to the wheels, and the same action takes place when the Wagon is going downhill, because the wagon is forced forward against the resistance of the animals which are harnessed to the said pole.
What I claim is 1. The combination, with avehicle runninggear, and front wheels; of a brake-beam provided with a brake-block at each end for bearing against the said front wheels, a longitudinally-slidable draft-pole pivotally connected beam supported by the running-gear and provided with brake-blocks for the wheels, levers pivotally supported by the running-gear, (3011- provided with vertical slots at their front ends neetions between the outer ends of the said which are slidable over the said pin. 10 levers and the said brake-beam, a shaft car- ,In testimony whereof I have aflixed my sigried by the hounds, adraft-pole provided with nature in the presence of two Witnesses. longitudinal slots which slide over the said ORVILLE C.
