Description

PATENTED DEG. 11, 1906.
v A. G. PAINE.
CARRIAGE TOP S PRING.
APPLIOATION FILED JUNE 9,1906.
WI/I 17 32 f UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 11, 1906.
Application filed June 9,1906. Serial No. 321,029-
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ARTHUR G. PAINE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cripple Creek, in the county of Teller and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carriage-Top Springs; 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and tothe letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in attachments to buggy-tops, and comprises a spring-bar which is provided with a groove upon the upper surface thereof adapted to receive the under edge of the bow of the buggy-top, to which the spring is fastened, the free end of the spring being adapted to rest upon an antifriction-roller fixed to the seat of the carriage-body.
My invention comprises various details of construction and arrangements of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.
I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the spring, and Fig. 3 is a crosssectional view on line 3 3 of Fig. 1.
Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates one of the bows of a buggy-top fastened to the seat B of the carriage.
D designates a resilient bar, one end of which has a longitudinal groove D upon the upper surface thereof, said groove extending partially the length of the spring, and uponeither side of said groove adjacent to the rear end of the spring arethe laterally-projecting wings E, integral with the spring and which are perforated, as at E.
F designates a clamp or clevis which is adapted to fit over the bow A, and the arms F of said clamp, which are threaded, are adapted to pass through the apertures E in said wings and to receive nuts H, fitted upon the threaded ends thereof, whereby the convexed portion of the bow may be held securely in said longitudinal groove in the upper surface of the spring-bar.
It will be observed upon reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings that said bow has a considerable area of its under surface resting in said groove, and the portion of the spring forward of the groove is inclined downwardly and near its free end rests upon an antifrictionroller l j ournaled upon the pin N.
It will be understood that it is my purpose to apply my invention one to each side of the top and that when the latter is thrown back in contact with the springs all weight is relieved from the centers of the bows, and when the top is turned down quickly the momentum of the same will be checked by the top being thrown upon the resilient arms of the springs which bear upon antifrictionrollers, the spaces intermediate the free ends of the springs and the bows being sulficient to allow the springs to yield as the top is thrown forcibly back.
When the top is raised, said springs will of course be lifted with the same and will always serve to break the force of the top as it is lowered, as will be readily understood.
What I claim is In combination with a buggy-top, a springbar having a longitudinal groove in the upper surface thereof adapted to receive the bow of the top, a clamping member for holding said bow in said groove, and an antifrio tion-roller mounted upon the seat of the carriage and upon which the downwardly-' clined end of said spring-bar is adapted to rest, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
ARTHUR G. PAINE.
