Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented March 13, 1906.
- Application filed ma 9.1904. Serial No. 206.973.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I,'WILLIAM A. SOHLEI- CHER, of Cleveland, Ouyahoga county, Ohio, have invented a new and useful Fifth-Wheel, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which a Figure 1 is a top plan view showing the u per circle-plate and head-block before attaching the perch-irons. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the perch-irons before attaching to the upper circle-plate and head-block. 1 Fig. 3 is a lon itudinal section showing these parts unite and Fig. 4 is a detail section on the line IV IV of Fig. 3.
In the drawings, 2 represents the upper plate of a fifth-wheel, and 3 is the head-block cast integrally with the circle-plateand having a rearwardly-projecting flange or lugs 4 4, provided with bolt-holes for the attachment of the front end of the perch-iron 5, which is made separate from the head-block and has a socket 6 for the king-bolt. The head-block has sockets 7 for the carriage-bolts.
The novel feature of the device consists in the separate perchiron adapted to be seated on the flange or lugs and to be secured thereby to the head-block. It reatly facilitates the manufacture and assem ling of the fifthwheel, which can be taken apartand mounted in the diflerent departments of the factory before the parts of t e vehicle are finally assembled. Thus the spring can be secured on top of the head-block, the reaches boltedto the perch-iron, and these parts stacked separate y in their respective departments, and when they are finally assembled all that remains to do is to seat the ends of the perchiron on the In s or flange 4 4 and to secure it thereto by b0 ts 8 without the necessity for the passing of bolts horizontally throu h the head-block, which would appear on the ace of the latter. i
The parts may be modified in various ways to adapt them to vehicles and fifth-wheels of different ty es, since What I c aim is The herein-described fifth-wheel constructionhaving an integral fifth-wheel plate and head-block, the latter having a rearward extension formed with a seat for a king-bolt, and a se arate perch-iron having a registering seat or a king-bolt and secured to said extension at each side of the king-bolt by vertica'l connections; substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
