1868; No. 3,205, dated unnovmmlrr ne ennemi-errent Theeheduierehmdtemthelelatton'runtmdmnkingputdthm Be it known that I, Azno Buzznm., of West Fairlee,`of the county of Oinnge, and State of Velmont, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Carringe-Springs; and -do herebydeelsie the same to be fully described in thefollowing vspeciiicstion, and rep,- resented in the accompanying drawings, of' which- Figure 1 denotes a side elevation, and

rinle-body.

'gure 31s o longitudinal section of the axle-con- Figure 4 is a. side or frontview of it. The spring in question is composed of one long sspring, A,-n short s-spring, O, and a lc-spring, B, they being formed and arranged inl manner as represented. 'There is e. pocket, u, st the upper end of the spring A,-whieh receives the eye b at the Y outer end 'of the spring B, the said spring B, at its inner end, being bolted to the carriage-frame I).

` The spring C, at'ts upper end, isislsol bolted to the carriage-fiume, and ut its lower endit has :lr-pocket, c, to receive the eye d of theilongest S-spring, the springs bein connected by joint-pins e f going through the eyes an pockets.

The springs B and lC have no connection between 'thermexcept it bev 'the carriage-fiume and-the spring A, and, therefore, they are free to vibrate independently-ot' each other, and in the direction of the lengthof he wagon or carri' e-body. They support the sp A, which is drinn ed so aste' vibrate vertically, as wel as in other directions.

At its lowest part, the spring ill-poes thruug'h'the' axle-connection E, which consists o The saddle rests on the joint-pin, vand the spring is forcedjdown upon the saddle by s clamp-screw, k, screwed through the upper yoke.

The lower yoke is to rest on the to a portion of n cnr-- a saddle, j', and'v y im 0f the cm1-age, and is to be'mned time by s' clasp.

- In this way, axle or rocker-bar, becomes pivoted or hin so ,'.i-s to encblc the spring to turn on the' bnr. v

` This mode of connection of the spring with the axle or'roeker-bor is very advantageous, particularly when the carriage-wheels muy be crossing what are termed immer-bars," or transverse gulleys or grooves ip a road.

The compound spring, composed of thethreesprings,

e on'ockerformed and arranged :ss-described, and disconnected inl other respects than in bein jointed together, and having thc shorter springs B bolted. to the wagon and to the carriage-body, causes the carriage to run th vgreci; ense, particularly whengoing oyerjnroad honing nits or, transvelse .gulleys, or water-bars.

I am aware of the wagon-spring represented in the application of E. T. Jackman for a patent, the said applieationshaving been filed n the Patent 0 ce, J annary 31,1861 such spring ooV A springs, conn ted at their ends, and provided with two curved supporters, extended from the upper of the seid` springs. This spring, although somewhatnnlogousV as my spring contains three seperate springs,- that is, two' s-sprlngslandone c;

to mine, diers from it,

spring, connected only at oueend of each, there being no connection, except the middle spring-A, and the 'body',between the two end springs B O. .This enables these' latter springs tog' operate independantly 'of one lanother,

they could were they connected by a bur or e from each of them, going ii'om one to them'- I therefore claim my improved arrangement of 'the three springs A B C, as' described, without any oonnection, extending from or about from the middle of one spring B to or vnbout to that of the spring O, the whole being ns shown in the drawings. i
