JAMES M. \VEBB, OF HEFLIN, ALABAMA.
WAGON-BRAKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 782,294, dated F bruary 14, 1905.
Application filed April 30, 1904. Serial No. 205,784.
To rt lr/m'm/ ('r' m ll/y cancer/t:
Be it known that 1, Jxuns M. \Vnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at I'l etlin, in the county of (lleburne and State of Alabama. have invented new and useful lmprove- 1 ments in Egon-Brakes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates particularly to wagonbrakes, and, as illustrated and hereinafter described, discloses specifically a wagon-brake suitable for application to the rear wheels of the usual manner, and 9 the hounds, of usual 1 form. These hounds are extended far enough in the rear to DIOJGCE behind the wheels. On the under side of the hounds are straps l1),
extending lengthwise along under the hounds and forming hangers for the brake-beam and its operating-lever. Said brake-beam is indicated at 11 and carries the brake-shoes 12 in position to bear against the wheels from the rear when applied.
The brake-beam is supported loosely in the hangers and is guided j the curve being such that the hand-lever locks in its movements by studs 13, projecting downwardly therefrom on each side of the hangers. These studs simply hold the beam in place and prevent lengthwise movement thereof.
The beam is connected at its middle I to the bent hand-lever 18. This hand-lever is properly shaped to extend up beside the wagon-box in convenient position to be manipulated, and it is pivoted at its lowerend to a bolt 19, fastened to the bolster. The curve of the link 17 is such that when the lever 18 is thrown down or forward to full extent to set the brakes it locks itself by passing beyond or below the dead or centerline through the pivotal connections. The link 14: is rigid, so that the movement of the brake-beam is positive in both directions.
In operation manipulation of the hand-lever lb will, by means of the lever 15 and the connectingrods, communicate movement to the brake-beam and set or release the brakes ac cordingly.
The support for the brake-beam and its lever on the bounds is a simple and convenient one, and the whole construction is such that 5 it can be readily applied to existing wagons,
if desired. The location of the brake-beam and lever in hangers on the under side of the hounds places the same out of the way of the reach-rod and permits the application of a brake to the rear wheels.
\Yhat I. claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- In a wagon-brake, the combination with a runninggear, of a brake-imam loosely carried at the rear ends of the bounds and extending at its ends behind the wheels, at make-lever pivoted to one of the hounds and connected to the beam, at hand-lever pivoted upon the running-gear, and a curved link pivotally connected to the hand-lever and the brake-lever,
itself, when the brakes are set, by passing beyond the dead or center line through the pivotal connections.
In testimony whereofl have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
