Leners Parafia. 97,919, naar December 14, lesa IMPROVEMENT IN FIFTH-WHEELS PQR GARRIAG-ES.
\ The Schedule referred'to' in these Letters` Patent and making part of the `:faune Be it known that I, RrcHlrRD Hoisiy'lv, of loulon, `in the county `of Stark, and' in 'the State ot' Illinois, have invented fa new and improved King- Bolt for Carriages and Wagons; and do hereby declare that the following is .a `full, clear, and exact.v de- `scriptiolrthereof,` reference beingr had to the an-` luexed drawings, making apart of this specliication,
in which like letters oil reference refer to likewparts,V
and inwhichp Figure `l represents a perspective view. Figure 2, a frontelevation. Figure 3, a plan view;
Figure 4v is a.pe1"spective"view of king-bolt and plate, and bridges and shackles. 4
Figure 5 is a section of king-bolt.
Like letters iu the igures of the drawings, indicate like parts.` Y1 v j rlhis improvement consists in` extending the usual flange of the king-.bolt A, (which forms the centre,
on which the axle and fore wheels of'a vehicle turn,)
bolt on the axle-tree P1. V
This extension is in the shape of a plate, B, which terminates at` either end in clips C C, which em'- so as to make a'longer bearing of this part of the brace the axle-tree 1 P on `either side, and are.I
`shackled with-tile usual irons D below, and secured by nuts on the thread, 'on the lower extremity of the ."clip, or the plate maybe also vmade separate,
` but with' a depression on thesurtace at either end,Y
to receive the bight7 of the clip, lthe vlatter' beingfastened beneath the axleetree in the usual 'mannenv I j lhe s'hacklesll) D, or bridges, uniting the lower extremity of each Vclip,:form apartfoand are connected by a bridge, E, beneath the axle-tree.
This bridge` is provided withia jaw, a, on `either' r yside, projecting vertically upward', and ,embracing the lower side `of the axle-tree..l f
Between these jaws projects, downward, a short bolt ,audthrearh b,`.w-l 1ieh enters the eye of the lower t stay F, being `thenjsecurcd by nut. This bridge, with its transverse shackles, ofcourse, i, the underside ol' the axle-tree,or on the irouplate,
or bar uniting the axle-heads. 4 r
'lhe `usual stay F, immediately beneath, before mentioned as being secured bya nut -to a bolt, i), passing through t-heA bridge, I `bend upward, witha bifurcation, the end ofeach fork g g being recurved, to meet two corresponding points, `witheyes H H, prou jecting from the transverse head I I of the carriage beam, to lwhich they are` bolted.`
With this improvement, `I `use the circle L', of shnilarforlnto that usually employed, and attached to thernndcr surface `of, the bar M, on which the has a bearing onv body rests, but constructed with an angular projection, a', or devicekon its under surface, (near the connecting-bar N of the axle-trees) which encloses a rubber buffer or stop, l, for destroying the yjar or jerk incident on striking oi" the wheel there, on turning the vehicle. No stops or guards, in this instance, are put'ou-thebmly ofthe vehicle.`
The guards or strikers L, which fendo' theV wheels from the body, by impinging in turning ou the said rubbers, are bows or extensions ot the iron @bearing ofl the axle-tree, under the f circle, one on l'either side of the circle, and bent thence round 1n a curve, and bolted to the outer-Vend ot' the axle-tree.
.lhe advantages of this improvement `are-, liirst, the king-bolt in this form is stronger, more durable,rand`canbe made by any blacksmith, while the singlet-lip can only be made by a turning-lathe. Also, the plate` can be made sepa-rate from the clipsor the clips may be made apart of the plate. The whole device equalizes the pressure and strain on the axle-tree, by dividing the tension or strain.
Also, that the bridge and shackles combine to pre1 scrivethe integrity Vot' the. upper works more effectue` ally than single pairs of separate bridges. p Also, that there is no hole, to weaken the axle- -treepas the kinghplt docs not pass through it, and
ebviates much nise and rattle.
Also, that in the use of rubber buffers or stops, the Vdraught,lin turning the vehicle, is lessened,aud the usual rub-irons are renderedunnecessary, doing away,
consequently, with the jerking-theobvious causent' the displacement and breakage of lthe carriage or wagon-springs v I The advantage in the use vof the doubling or forking of the lower stay is, that the parallelism between the axle and the circle bar is always maintained on uneven ground.
Having thusV fully 'described my invention, `Vhat` I claim therein as new,l and desire to secure by Letters' latent, is
l. The forked division G of the forward end of the lower stay F, beneath the axle-tree, in combination with the projections of transverse head I I of carriage-beam, provided with eyes H H by which they are attached, substantially as described.
. '2. The employment of'rubber or spring stops Ii, so arranged with -the fifth-wheeler reach ot'a' vehicle,
as to dispense with rubeirons, and thus avoidthe jerking niet-ion consequent upon 'the vehicle, substantially as set forth.
8. The angular projections or clamps i, having setscrews, for holding the rubber stops K, in combinzv tion with the circle or fifth-wheel L', substantiaily as set forth.
fi. lThe guardsl), or extension ofthe axle-bearturning of the In testimony vthat I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 16th day of August, 1869. I
RICHARD HOADLY.
