SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 35,176, dated October 8, 1901.

Application filed June 18, 1901. Serial No. 66,071. Term of patent '7 years.

To aZZ- whom it may concern..-

Be it known that I, LEE WVARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yancey, in the county of Medina and State of Texas, have invented and produced a new and original Design for Antirattlers for End- Gates of Vagons; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawingsfiorming a part thereof.

My invention relates to antirattlers designed for the end-gates of wagons; and it consists in the new and original design illustrated in the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a front elevation of the antirattler, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same looking in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. l.

The essential feature of my design consists of a helical-shaped body portion, terminating at its upper end in a perforated lug shaped to correspond or register with the top side of an end-gate of a wagon, while the lower end of said body portion terminates in a perforated lug having its lower end bent to form a purchase or handle.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, A denotes the body portion of the antirattler, which consists of a coiled spring.

13 denotes a lug formed integral with and projecting above the spring, bent at an angle, as shown in Fig. 1, and having at its free end a bolt-hole b, as shown in Fig. 2.

C denotes a lug formed integral with and projecting below the spring-provided perforations c c c, as shown in Fig. 2, and having its lower end a bent at an angle, as shown in Fig. 1, which serves as a purchase for bearing down on the spring when the antirattler is placed in position.

Having shown and described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The design for an antirattler for the endgates of wagons substantially as shownand described.

In testimony whereof I ai'fix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

LEE WARD.
