, Specification of Letters Patent.
Eatented'March 13, 1906.
. Application filed April 5, 1905." Serial Nb. 251,058
ments in Wagon-Reach Adjusters, of whic the following is a specification. The invention relates to an improvement in adjustable, reaches for use in wagon construction.
The main object of the invention is the production of a reach-block having pivotal connection With the wagon hounds and adapted for adjustable connection with the Y usual reach-bar.
The invention in its preferred form will be described in detail in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanyin drawings, in wh1ch-.
igure 1 is a broken plan illustrating the application of my improved reach block. Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the reachblock in inoperative position.
Referring to the drawings, wherein like ref-' erence-letters indicate like parts throughout v the several views, 1 represents the wagonaxle; 2, the hounds connected therewith, and 3 the reach bar longitudinally movable through the hound-head 4 and formed with a series of longitudinally-arranged openings 5.
The reach block comprises an approximately triangular-shaped plate 6, formed at its rear or base end with ears 7 to receive a transverse pin or rod 8, secured at its terminals in the hounds, as at 9. An operatingspring 10 is coiled about the rod 8, having one terminal connected with the rod and the opposite terminal'connected with the plate 6, the efiective force of this spring being directed to maintain the plate 6 in lowered or horizontal position, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The forward end of thereach-block is provided with a depending reach-pin 11, adapted to engage either of the openings 5 of the reach-bar. The pin 11 may be of any desired form and may be connected to the reach-block in any usual or preferred manner.
By preference the side edges of the reachvblock extend parallel with the hounds, the
forward end of the block being preferably rounded, as shown.
In operation the forward end of the reachblock is moved upward to disengage the pin 11 from the respective openings 5, the block adjusted longitudinally,
swinging on the pivot-pin 8 against the ten sion of the spring 10. The reach-bar is now spring 10 operating to force the reach-pin 11- into the desired opening in the reach-bar, thus locking the reach-bar in adjusted position.
While I have shown and described the spring 10 as seated in a cut portion of the reach-block, it is evident that said spring may, if desired, be secured below the reach- I block, in which latter event the pivoting-ear on said block will depend therefrom and the pivot-pin be located below said block.
The invention provides a convenient and simple device for the adjustment and securing in adjusted position the reach-bar, it being evident that in theuse of my device the reach-pin is maintained at all timesin a position to engage the reach-bar, and accidental disengagement of the parts is effectively prevented by the use of the spring.
Various chan es may be effected in the structure descri ed without affecting the material features thereof, and I wish it understood that I regard all such changes as within the spirit and scope of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is a Y 1. The combination with convergent wagon-hounds and a-reach-bar movably connected therewith, of a reach-block pivotally supported between the hounds and adapted to engage the reach-bar.
2. The combination with convergent wagon-hounds and a reach-bar slidably conas desired, the
nected therewith, of a reach-block pivotally In testimony whereof I aflix my signature .in presence of two witnesses.
EMERY J. ABBOTT.
