WAGON-BOUND.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 7, 1908.
Application filed December 23, 1907. Serial No. 407,834.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, Gnonon W. Srnrnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Greenville, in the county of Greeuville and State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 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.
This invention relates to improvements in hound attaclnnents, and is designed to pro vide a means that in addition to providing a wear plate for the tongue associated therewith will also provide a. reinforcing means for the tongue end of the hound forming a stable connection betwcenthe hound ends and the tongue and also forming a protecting means for the hound ends to revent their splitting, a very objectionabe feature in wooden hounds being that they tend to split hound members portion of fragmentary at their ends owing to the curvature of the and the fact that the grain generally is disposed at an angle to the rear the hounds, as indicated by the arrows in Figure 1 of the drawings.
For the purpose of disclosure, reference is had to the accompanyin drawings illustrating a practical embodiment of the invention, the novel features of which will be more succinctly pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings-Fig. l is a perspective view of a vehicle hound with a tongue connected thereto and showing an application of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line 22, looking toward the forward end of the hound, and Fi 3 is a similar section showing a slightly modified form.
1 des'i ates the tongue of a vehicle, and 2 the usua wooden hounds.
Interposed between the hound ends and the tongue is a pair of angle members having the vertical webs 3 and the horizontal webs 4, and these'angle members may be afl'ixcd'to the wooden hounds by any suitable means, such, for instance, as bolts, screws, etc.
In the drawings this is illustrated bv means of the rear tie plate 5, and the for- Ward U-shaped tie member 6. Throu h the ends of the members 5 and 6 are passed bolts 7 and 8 passing vertically through apertures ,is pivoted between the in the hound ends 2. Similarly the tongue s by means of a horizontal pivot pin 9 webs 3 of the hound I passing through the bound- I and the tongue 1.
5 The rear and forward tie members 5 and 6, i in addition to forming transverse strengthening members for the ends of the hound'members by tending to prevent their separation i ends, the w ebs 3 when the tongue is moved in a horizontal plane, also serve as stops for limitingthe vertical movement of the tongue. That is, the rear tie plate 5 limits the downward movement of the forward end of the tongue and the U-shaped tie member 6 limits the upward movement of the forward end of the tongue, a slight play, however, being allowed.
In the modification shown in Fig. 3, instead of simply using the angle members withlhe webs 3 and 4, I em loy a channel member having the vertical we 10 and the up er and lower horizontal webs 1.1 and 12. he application of this channel member to the round end is similar to that reviously de-' scribed, but it is obvious that t e addition of anextra web at the lower face of the hound end will increase the strength of the reinforcement and tend further to prevent the splitting of the wood. stood, of course, that the upper web 11 of Fig. 3 could bec'nitted and an anglemember em loyed, similar to that shown in Fig. 3, wit 1 the horizontal web, however, disposed on the lowenface of the hound end instead of on the upper face.
It will be observed from the foregoing that by having the 7 with their horizontal webs resting on top or at the bottom or at boththe top and bottom surfaces of the wooden hound with their vertical webs fitting snugly against the in side face of the hound ends a very much stronger ,reinforcement is obtained, both because of the fact that the lateral strain on the hound ends is taken up by the full length of the angle or channel plates, and also in view of the fact that the webs of these incinbcrs are strapped together'by the forward and rear cross bars, there is much less tendency to spread the hound ends apart when lateral strains are imparted by the pole, and hence the tendency to split the hound ends is practically prevented.
1. The combination of hound. ends, elonone web engaging a lateral face of a hounr end, and its other web engaging the inside vertical face of said hound end, and 8.
angle or channel members u It will also be undergated metallic members therefor, each havin tongue cor-inserted to said hound ends be tween vertical webs of so id metallic members, substantially as described,
"2. The oombinotion'oi hound ends, elongated metallic members each having a lateral web engaging the top face or e hound member end with s'verticsl member engaging the inside face of said member, a. tongue, and means for securing one end of said tongue between the vertical websof said metallic members, substantially as described.
3, The combination of hound ends, elongeted metallic members each having a latersi webengsging "the top face of a. hound member and with a vertical member engaging the inside face of said member, tongue, means for securin one end of said tongue between the 'v'ertice webs of said metallic members,
' and rear and forward transverse tie mem hers connecting the tie webs of said metallic members, substantially as described.
4. The combination of hounds, elongated metallic members therefor each member sniwly fitting s hound, and having a vertical web resting against the inside face of said hound, and horizontal webs resting against the upper and lower faces of said hound, a tongue, and means for securing one end of said tongue to said hound between said ver tical webs, substantially as described.
in testimony whereof, I affix mysignature, in presence of two Witnesses.
