PATENT EEICE.
HENRY E. VOGEL, 'OE ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR TO ST. LOUIS OAR"v COMPANY, OE ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, A CORPORATION STREET-CAR.
SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 791,742, dated June 6, 1905. Application filed February 8, 1905. Serial No. 244,743.
To rtlllwwm t may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY F. VOGEL, a citiin the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Street-Cars, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to theaccom anying drawings, forming part of this specifzation.
My invention relates to an improved construction of the socket members utilized in various parts of a street-car whereby the parts entering into said socket members and which are commonly handled by assengers are held from rotation instead of eing permitted to turn, as in the instance of socket members having circular seats, as they have been heretofore made.
It has been a common source of accident upon street-cars that when the hand-rods, particularly of such cars, are grasped byapassenger in entering or leaving a car they turn in the hand, thereby causing the passenger to be thrown 0H his or her balance, witha consequent result of being thrown to the ground, especially if the car is in motion. By m improvement these parts are firmly held in the socket members and the objectionable feature referred to is entirely eliminated. V
Figure I is a perspective view of one end of a street-car equipped with the usual vertical platform hand-rod, corner hand-rod, and window guard-rods. Fig. II is an enlar ed perspective view of the lower Socket mem er of the platform hand-rod and the lower end of the platform hand-rod in se arated condition and constructed in accor ance with my improvement. Fig. III is an enlarged pers ective view of the lower socket member of tlie corner hand-rod and the lower end of said hand-rod in separated condition and constructed in accordance with my improvement. Fig. IV is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of one of the end socket members o the window guard-rodsV and one end of one of the guard-rods shown separated 3 is a socket member seated upon and secured tothe step C and provided with a noncirculary seat or socket 4 of a shape corresponding to that of the tenon 2 to receive said tenon. When the tenon of the hand-rod 1 is seated in this socket member, the hand-rod is held firmly from rotation, and vtherefore is Aprevented from turning in the hand of a person grasping it, as `will be readily understood.
5 designates a corner hand-rod that is provided at its lower end with a tenon 6.
7 is a socket member or bracket secured to the corner of the car and having a non-circular seat or socket 8, that receives the handrod tenon 6. By thus uniting the hand-rod with said socket member the rod is prevented from turning in the hand of a person grasping it, while it is supported by said socket member and by an upper socket member 7', the socket of which may be of non-circular or circular shape, as preferred.
9 designates window guard-rods each provided at its end with non-circular tenons 10.
1l is a socket member provided with noncircular seats or sockets 12, that are ada ted to receive the non-circular tenons 10 of) the guard-rods to hold them from turning after they are mounted in the socket members in the'usual manner.
I claimas my inventionl. The combination with the hand-rods utilized upon a street-car, of socket members by which said rods are received and whichA are provided with non-circular Seats; saidhaving non-circular tenons at their ends and ed to receive the tenons and revent turning socket members having non-circular seats to of the hand-rods, substantial y as set forth. receive said tenons, substantially as set forth.
