Letters Patent No. 96,024, dated October 19, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN STUMP-JOINIS FOR. CARRIAGES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and makingpart of the sama.

To all whom it-md/y concern:

Be it known that I, F. B. Monsn, of Plantsville,

in the county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Stump-Joints for Carriages; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, and the letters of referencemarked thereon, to be a full, .clear, and exact description of the same, and

which said drawings constitute part of this specifica-.

tion, and represent in- Figure 1, a side view;

Figure 2, an end view; Figure 3, a sectional view of one part;

Figure 4, a sectional view of the other part detached; and in Figure 5, an edge view of the joint open.

This invention relates to an. improvement in the joints used in braces for supporting carriage tops, and

common] y called stump-joints, being formed as an article of manufacture, with a joint and-two stumps, to which the braces are to be welded and The invention consists in forming upon one part two ears, with a space between the two, and upon the other part a single ear, so as to fit in between the two ears of the other part, and the said single ear extended out to near the edge of its stump,-and the other part recessed to receive the extended portion of the ear, whereby the joint is greatly strengthened.

To enable others skilled in the ad; to make and use my invention, 1 will proceed to describe the same, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. A is one part, and

B, the other part. On the part A, I form two ears, a a, in the usual \Vitnesses:

manner, with this-difference, that between the ears and into the. body of the stump, 1 form a recess, d, extending nearly to the edge of the stump, as seen in figs. 2 and 3, and upon the other part B, I form a single ear, 0, corresponding in width to the space between the two ears a, and so as to be set together, as seen in fig. 1.

The ear 0, instead of being cut awa as denoted in broken lines, fig. 4, extends backnearly to the edge 'of the stump, as seen at f, figs. 2 and 4, corresponding to the recess d of the other stump.

This extension f 0f the ear 0 strengthensthat ear by so much as the extra attachment to the stump.

The chief advantage of this construction in the manufacture is, that we are enabled to use a larger mill in cutting the space between the two cars.

When the joint is folded, as to the position seen in fig. 1, that is, when the carriage-top is thrown back,

the extended part f appears, but when the joint is,

set forth. 7
