BUG-GY-BOX-SEAT BRACE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 29, 1908.
Application filed. May 29, 1908. Serial No. 435,805.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PRESTON ELSWORTH i GAToHELL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Buckley, in the county I of Pierce and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buggy-Box-Seat Braces, of which l the following 1s a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to the construction of buggy box-seats, and has special reference to the means whereby the joints thereof are reinforced so that they will not readily become loosened, thus making a much more permanent construction than is had with any of the present means. I attain this object by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a skeleton of a buggy seat showing my improved braces mounted thereon, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of said braces.
Probably one of the commonest pieces of work which a blacksmith has to perform is in rebuilding, or by various means bracing, a racked buggy box, since all of the joints of the upper part of the frame become loosened very easily. I have devised the herein illustrated brace which is primarily intended to be applied to the buggy skeleton when new but which may be used for reinforcing an old seat. This brace consists of a plate of metal ada ted to be fastened to the two horizontal ars forming the corner of the seat skeleton and having an extension adapted three sides thereof.
In the drawings the buggy frame is indicated at 1, the four upright posts 2 of the seat being secured at their proper positions to said frame 1. The side bars 3 are mortised to said posts 2 and the cross bars 4 are similarly connected to said posts 2. The main part 5 of the reinforcing plate is fastened to the cross bar 4 by means of carriage bolts. The plate is then turned at right angles and is split horizontally for a short distance to form two parts 6 and 7, the part 6 being fastened to the side bar 3 while the part 7 is bent again at right angles to engage the inner edge of the post 2 under the bar 3 and having its extreme end again bent at right angles to engage the outer side of said post 2, said latter part 8 being counter-sunk into the post so that the outer surfaces of the side bar 3 and post 2 are in a plane with the outer surface of the part 8 so that the said part will not interfere with the side boards of the buggy seat. The upper edge of the part 7 fits snugly under the side bar 3 and aids materially in keeping it up in its place. It will be readily seen, therefore, that this brace connects all three of the pieces forming the corner very firmly together and effectually prevents their becoming loosened one from the other by reasonable amount of hard usage.
Having described my invention, what I claim is:
1. A buggy box-seat brace comprising a plate adapted to be secured at one end to the cross bar of the seat, and bent at right angles along a vertical line near its center, and split horizontally at the other end, the upper portion thereof being ada ted to be secured to the side bar, and the ower portion thereof being bent again at right angles and being adapted to pass under the side bar and to engage the post, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a buggy box-seat, the combination with a cross bar, a side bar, and a post; of a plate having one end 5 secured to the cross ar, and bent at right angles along a vertical line near its center, and split horizontally at the other end into two parts 6 and 7, the upper part 6 being secured to the side bar,
and the lower part 7 being bent again atright angles and secured to the post, substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
PRESTON ELSWORTH GATCHELL. Witnesses:
W. J. HOLLY, W. B. OSBOURN.
