UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM T. PENROSE, OF SPOKANE, WASHINGTON.
AUTOMOBILE.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WVILLIAM T. PENROSE, a citizen of the United States, residing at S okane, in the county of Spokane, State of ashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automobiles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. This invention relates to vehicles, and more particularly to power-vehicles, and has for its object to provide a power vehicle equipped with a source of energy and provided with means for transmitting ower from said source to all four wheels of t e vehicle.
Another object is to provide a vehicle of the kind mentioned which will include a novel arrangement of parts and which will permit of shifting a pair of the wheels to steer the vehicle.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description, and it will be understood that changes in the specific construction shown and described may be made within the scope of the claim and ent vehic e.
that any suitable materials may be used Without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawin s forming a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Fi ure 1 is a side elevation of the pres- Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a top. plan. Fig. 4 is a section on line 4 4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a section showing the differential.
Referrin now to the drawings, the present vehicle inc udes upper and lower frames 5 and 6, connected by pairs of X-shaped braces 7, located at the centers of the sides of the frames and at the rearward ends thereof. Secured to the sides of the frame 5, adjacent to its forward end and depending therefrom,
there are brackets 8, each having a horizontallyextending arcuate plate 9 secured to its lower portion, and these plates are disposed with their concave edges 10 directed inwardly.
A transversely-extending plate 1 1 is mounted in the frame 6 beneath the plates 9, and pivoted in this plate there is a vertical shaft 11, which is also ivoted at its u per end in the frame 5, this s haft forming w at may be Specification 'of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 26, 1905. Serial No. 266.994.
Patented Feb. 20, 1906.
termed the kin -bolt. At its lower. end
the shaft 11 is e arged, as shown at 12, and
in this enlargement there is journaled a live axle 13, including two sections 13' and 13", which are connected by a diflerential gear 14, located at one side of the shaft 11. This axle is provided .With rollers .15, mounted thereupon adjacent to its ends, these rollers lying beneath the lates 10 and upon similar plates 16, mounted upon the frame 6. J ournaled upon the shaft 11 above the enlargement there is a bevel-gear 17, which meshes with beveled cog-teeth 18, carried by the differential gear.
An upwardly-extending steerin -shaft is journaled in the frame 5 and is in icated at 19, and this shaft extends downwardly also and has laterally extending rearwardlycurved arms 20 at its lower end, which are connected with yokes 21, revolubly engaged with the rollers 15 and lying below the surfaces thereof, so as to be out of engagement with the plates 9 and 16. It will thus be apparent that the axle 13 may be swung upon the shaft 11 by means of the steering-shaft 19 and that when this is done the differential gear will move over the bevel-gear 17, and the steering of the vehicle will thus be accomplished.
A centrally located gasolene engine or other source of energy is mounted upon the frame 6 between the central braces 7, and this source of energy is connected with a longitudinally extending shaft 22, having a bevel-gear 23 at its forward end meshing with the bevel-gear 17 to drive the latter. The shaft 22 has a second bevel-gear 24 at its rearward end meshing with a bevel-gear 25, forming a portion of a differential gear 26, carried by a rear axle 27, which is mounted in the frame. The two axles have wheels 27 mounted thereon, as will be readily understood.
It will be thus ap arent that a mechanism is provided arrange to transmit power to all four wheels of the vehicle and which also permits of movement of two of the wheels to steer the vehicle.
What is claimed is In a vehicle, the combination with upper.
named plates and spaced therefrom, a plate carried by the lower frame, a vertical shaft pivotally mounted upon the plate and in the upper frame, a live axle journaled horizontally in the vertical shaft and extending between the spaced plates, rollers carried by the axle and engaging the plates, wheels carried by the axle, a bevel-gear j ournaled upon the vertical shaft, a bevel-gear carried by the axle and meshing with the first-named bevel- 10 gear, and means for driving the first-named bevel-gear.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses. WILLIAM T. PENROSE. Witnesses:
N. J. LAUMER, L. W. PERKINS.
