DESIGN FOR A FRAME FOR MOTOR-VEHICLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 31,982, dated December 8 9 Application filed September 9,1899. $erial No. 730,027.

To aZZ whont it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM O. WORTH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, havoinvented and produced an original Design for Frames for Motor-Vehicles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,

forming part hereof.

Figure 1 isa plan view of a motor-supporting frame, showing my new design. Fig. 2 is a side elevation.

The same letters refer to like parts in both of the views.

The part A of the frame consists of a tube having a practically square or oblong crosssection with rounded exterior corners. It is bent into the shape of a parallelogram curved upwardly, and returning again to the same plane between the forward tubular depend ing brace D and the front cross-piece B it is bent in the rear, so as to form curves at the two corners.

The tubular depending brace D connects the two sides of the tube A at a point about midway between its longitudinal extremities. This brace is composed of a tube similar to the tube A and is connected to the two sides thereof so that their interiors join. A similar depending brace D joins the two sides of Term of patent 14 years.

A in a like manner at a point just back of the upward curve in the tube A. l

The front ends of the tube A are connected together and form a square end by cross piece 13.

Internally-projecting plates 0 C join the ends of the cross-piece B and the tube A.

The essential features of my design there fore embrace the substantially parallel sides formed of the tube A, having one round and one square end, the tube having a practically square or oblong cross-section with round exterior corners, a downwardly'curved bracetube joining the two sides of the parallelogram near the center thereof, another similar brace parallel therewith joining the two sides of the main structure at points just back of the upwardly-curved portion near the front end thereof, and flat plates joining the square ends of the structure.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

The design for a frame for motonvehicles, as herein shown and described.

FOREE BAIN, M. I ALLEN.
