Description

PATENTED JULY 17, 1906.-
. E. SAYERS. WAGON BODY GLEAT.
APPLIOATION FILED APR.26, 1905.
EVERETT SAYERS, OF BRADDYVILLE, IOWA.
WAGON-BODY CLEAT.
Application filed April 26, 1 05. Serial No. 257.411.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 17, 1906.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EVERETT SAYERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Braddyville, in the county of Page and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and use-' ful Improvements in Wagon-Body Cleats, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to wagon-body cleats, and to that particular class used to retain the tail-gate and front end of a wagon in position.
The object of my invention is to provide a cleat to be secured to the side-board of a wagon, which is adapted, in addition to performing the usual function of retaining the tail-gate and front end of a wagon inposition, to hold the side-boards securely against the floor to prevent rattling when the wagon is in motion.
It is a further object of my invention to provide a metal cleat made in one piece, either cast or welded.
With these and other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim, it being understood that changes in the form, proportion, size, and minor details may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved cleat. Fig. 2 isa detail view, partly in section, showing the bolt portion which secures the cleat to the bottom of the wagon.
Referring to the drawings, 1 is a plate having a flange or projection 2 at its upper end disposed at substantially right angles thereto. At the bottom of plate 1 a bolt 3 is secured in any suitable manner. The usual vertical guides 4 and 5, between which the tail-gate is retained, are formed on the face of plate 1- at or near the edges thereof.
In practice I secure plate 1 to the sideboard of the wagon by bolts passing through holes provided for them, the flange 2 eXtending over the top of said side-board. Through the floor of the wagon a hole is boredsufliciently large to accommodate bolt 3 and in such position that said bolt will pass therethrough when the side-board of the wagon is placed in position. A nut is then screwed on the threaded portion of the bolt 3, which will operate to draw the cleat down tight against the bottom of the wagon and with it the sideboard to which it is attached. It will be seen that in this way both the cleat and sideboard will be securely held in position and the rattling of either of them will be prevented. The flange 2 forms a protection for the side board of the wagon, preventing it from being marred by the tail-gate when carelessly placed in position in the guides. It also serves to hold the side-board down against the bottom should the screws by which the cleat is secured to said side-board work loose. The top boards are also equipped with my cleat without the bolt.
The cleat above described is simple of construction, easily placed in position, and better adapted to hard usage than the wooden cleat now in general use.
Having thus described my invention',what I claim as novel, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
An end-gate bracket comprising an inverted substantially L-shaped plate having a pair of longitudinally-spaced flanges upon the upright member of the plate opposite the other member forming an open-ended guideway to receive an end-gate, the flanges being set in from the longitudinal edges of the upright member, those portions of the upright member which project outwardly beyond the flanges being provided with perforations for the reception of fastenings, and a bolt depending from the bottom edge of the upright member between the flanges, the short member of the plate constituting a guard to overlap the top edge of a wagon side. v
In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EVERETT SAYERS.
