l UNITED STATES JOHN JONES, OF CLYDE, NEW YORK.

CARRIAGE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 7,906, dated January 14, 1851; Ressued `March 4,

To all whom it may capcern:

Be it known that I, JOHN JONES, `of Clyde, in the county of Wayne and State of New York, have invented a new and proved Mode of Making or Constructing Carriage-Reaches; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact de` struct my axletrees in any of the known` forms in use, (letters A, A, Figure l inthe accompanying drawings)` and attach vone straight reach, B, Fig. l, to the center of the axletrees in such a manner as` to allow` the hind and fore aXletrees toturn horizontally on the reach. Ithen make two other bars or reaches "in the form of a crotch or an acute angle, thus asshown ,by lettersV G, G, Fig. l, attaching the spread or `open end of one rmly `to t-he hind, and the other to the fore aXletree, the other ends approaching near to each other above l.the

straight reach. I then attach to one of these bars or reaches a rod,as shown `by letter D,

Fig. l, in such a manner as to turn freely; the other end of the rod passing through a bar shown at J, Fig. 1. `I then place a spiral spring on the end of the rod, which has a thread cut on it -for anut, which nut, by being turned graduates the stiffness of the springt-see letters E, F, Fig. l. It will be seen that this arrangement has a constant tendency to keep the reaches in a straight line, thereby preventing all 'unsteady motion. On the opposite side of these bars or reaches, I attach a plate, as shown by letter C, Fig. 2, one end of which is secured to one of these reaches; the other end-has a slot which works on the pin H, Fig. 2; the `eXtreme end of this plate I bend at right `angles with the reach, and in this end I` 'place a gage screw, I, Fig. 2, parallel with the reach. This screw may be moved to give the gearing any :required degree of angle asshown by Fig. l. i

` What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The arangement of two bars or reaches placed in connection with `the straight reach as above described, and in combination with `the spring rod and cross bar, substantially in the manner described.
