Letters Patent No. 86,697, dated Februa/ry 9, 1869.
IMPROVEMENT IN 'IOP-IRCNS AND PROPS FOR CARRIAGES.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the'same.
To all, whom it may concern Be it known that we, GYRUs W. SALADEE and WIL- LIAM BAUDER, of Oircleville, State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Mode of Constructing Top-Irons and Props for Supporting and Adjusting Carriage-Tops; and-we do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of our invention consists, first, in a new arrangement of props, and. in the manner of their application to the bows of thetop; and, second, ina new and improved method of applying the lower propiron to the tops of carriages and buggies.
The short, T-shaped iron, known as the prop, to which the long-jointed irons of tops are applied, are now universally secured to the outside surface of the bows, by means of four small wooden screws, and they are. often-torn loose by the direct strain thrown upon the seams by the straining of the top, and they are always unsightly in appearance, by reason of the fact that they mustbe put on the outside of the bows and top. 1
In the drawings, by-
Figure 1, we show a side view of these props, S, secured to the edge of the bows E, 1, 3, and 4, by means of small wood-screws.
Figure 2 is a front view, in section,- of the prop S, which has a square hole through its centre, through which is passed. the bolt D, which also has a square next the head, in length equal to the thickness of the prop S, and the remaining length of the bolt is round, and which receives the ends of the prop-irons A and B, as shown in figs. 1 and 2.
In fig. 2, D is the bolt above mentioned, S the prop, throhgh which it passes, and K is the nut, or tap, on the end of the bolt, which holds the whole arrangement together.
Our improved top-prop, therefore, consists simply of the prop S, bolt D, and tap K, and secured to the edge of the bows E, with a loose thimble, H, figs. 2, next the prop S, as shown in the drawing.
We will here state that the bolt D-maybe cast solid with the prop S, and secured tothe edge of the hair,
as shown, and we so contemplate manufacturing them when desired.
The prop S is first secured to the edge of the bows, as shown. The bolt D is then passed through from the inside, and the loose thimble H, fig. 2., is slipped on, after which the prop-irons A and B are received on the bolt. 7
The quarter prop-iron B is applied as shown in the drawing, and at or near the centre we make the joint D 1, and so as to break downward, in the direction of the dotted line 5, and to this joint D 1 we secure to the rivet or bolt of the joint, the top end of the lower prop-iron O.
By this arrangement, we make this lower prop-iron serve the double purpose of supporting the top, and, at the same time, to press the joint D 1 of the propiron B up firmly in its position, and thereby keep that portion of the leather oi the top,.between the bows E 3 and 4, strained tight and smooth at all times when. the top is up. To let down the top, take hold of the 'lower propiron 0, below the joint 4, push back, when the latter joint is broken in the direction of the dotted line 6, and the joint D l is drawn in the direction of the dotted line 5, and the top is let back,.andthe two back bows areallowed to fold together as usual.
Now, what we claim as new, of our invention, and desire tosecure by Letters-Patent, is- I l. Securing the supports S to the edges ofthe bows 1, 3, and 4, and for supporting the braces B and 0, constructed substantially as shown and operating as and for the purposes set folth.
' 2. The combination of supports S, bolt lD,'and loose thimble H, substantially as described and for the purposes set forth.
3. The combination of the quarter prop-iron B, with the lower prop-iron O, constructed and operating substantially as and for thepurposes set forth.
