r Lettersl atent No. 107,668, .dated September 2?, 187 0; antedated September17,'1870.
. Be it known that I,1OoRnnn1Us Gus-ran, of Nov; ristown, inthe countyof Montgomery and State of 3 Pennsylvania, -have invented a new and'improved j Mode of Ooustr'uetingf Carriage-Gearing and'I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the lettersofreference marked thereon. a
Thenatlllie of my invention consists in applying To all whom itmay concern:
850., to the front of the carriage on which the front axle turns and vibrates.
Figure 1, of the.drawing,.is' a perspective view of the carriage. I

myinyiention; I will proceed to describe its construction'and Operation. i
I ing the front axle and its connections to the body.
A A, 'fig. 1, is an arched axle. It has a slot in it at G, in which the flattened central part of the up- 1 right shaft 0 works on a pinor bolt, G, as shown. O is the upright shaft, as shown also in fig. 3, fig, 4, and fig. 6.,- v I D D arethc gum spring-balls, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 3,;and fig. 7. Theyhave holes in them much larger than the diameter of the upright shaft, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 7. a 1 The beveled washers K' K hold them in place, as 7 shown at K K, fig..3. The center bevel-washer. has a leather sliding collar sh'ownbelow L L,.which is held in the-eye of the bevel-washer by a groove cut in it on its face, as shown atL, fig. 9.. This collanis used to prevent noise, and to keepthe bevel-washer from rubbing the shaft.
, The upper bevel-washer has bevels onlyon the. under side, and the lower one has bevels onlyon' the upper sides, as shown in'fig. 3. v i It will be seen that those bevel-washers hold the an-upright shaft, boxes, gum-springs, washers, braces,
Figure 5 is a'perspective view of the axle, when the I The same lettersoi' reference refer to like parts in To enable others skilled in the art to make and use I construct my carriages in any usual fornn except- I "m nor/ manuel CARRlAGE-GEARING.
The. Schedule refer-red to in these Letters Patent and. making part Of the samegum-balls from rubbing the shaft, and that, as they extend out to the full diameter of the balls, or as.
large as the diameter ofthe balls will be when the pressure is on themiwhen loaded, they give the gumballs greater hearing on them, and enablethem to carry a much greater load than, they would carry without them.
The bevel-washers also keep the gum-balls from rubbing'theupright shaft, which prevents them from gumming the shaft and injuringthe' inside of them by oii-andfriction. f I
I'use one,two, or more gum-ball springs, as 4113.) be desired; l
E, fig. l and'fig. '6, is a forked nut. Thelower end. of the upright shaft 0 O is screwed or keyed firmly into the upper part of it, and the forkshown at P,
fig. 6, slides on the segmental brace-slide F F, as
shown in fig. 1.
P, fig. 1 and fig. 6, is a guard-bolt or pin, audit is used to keep the forked nut and upright shaft inplace on the segmental brace-slide, audto hold in a leather lining in thefork of the forked nut, so as to prevent rattling and-noise; This bolt also strengthens the fork by preventing it from spreading.
H, fig. l and fig. 2, is the shackle. It has boxes and box-caps, as shown at O0 and J J, in which the upright shaft 0 plays up and do'wn,'and vibrates freely, so as to bear on the gum-balls and spring, and
allow the front axle to turn, and the front wheels to accommodate themselves to uneven ground without disturbing'the body of thecarriage. v
-I I are the cap-nuts, as shown in those figures.
M M are the two lower brace-hars. The lower 7 front ends of them are. firmly fastened to the lower end of the shackle, and the upper back ends of them arefirmly fastened to the hack ends of the upper braces N N, or to the bottom of the front part of the body of the carriage.
The front ends of the upper brace-bars N N are fastened to the upper end of the shackle H, as shown in fig. 2, and the middle and back ends of them are firmly fastened to the bottom of the front part of the body of .the carriage. v
The upper end of the upright shaft 0 may be so constructed as to come up through the front part of. f
the carriage, or not, as may be desired. The gum spring-balls on this shaft each have two round bearing-surfaces, which press lightly onthe in- 7 side of the washers K K with alight load, and that they increase their bearing-surfaces as the load init is so constructed that the arch will reach to the hubs of the wheels, or nearly so.
1 I construct the axle in this form so as to give room for the horses legs, so that he can be geared back as close tothe carriage as possible. I only use this mode of construction when desiredl The above description of the construction of my improved carriage-gearing is deemed sufficient.
I will now describe its operation.
The front part of the carriage-body presses-on the braces N N andM M, and they press down the shackle H on thenpper bevel-washer K, and it presses on the upper gum spriug-ball D, and thus the pressure goes on down until the lower gum spring-ball presses on the lower bevel-washer K, and it lies on the upper end of the forked nut E, as shown in fig. 1.
As the lower box or boxes of the shackle H lies on the upper bevel-washer K, all the friction, in turning the carriage, comes on the washer,'and not on the gum-ball; and, as the boxes and washer are of different metals, the friction is small compared to the usual mode of construction.
The bolt G, the forked nut E, and the segmental brace-slide 1* F,leave the axle free, so that the wheels of the carriage can accommodate themselves to uneven roads'without disturbing the body of the carriage.
It 'will be seen that the above mode of construction of my improved carriage-gearing gives the front axle all its operations in a manner much superior to any yet known or used, and that it is simple, cheap, and durable, and gives a neat and pleasing appearance to the front of the carriage, and that itis much easier kept clean and in good order.
1n the construction of my improved carriage-gearing I use any material which may be deemed best.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The upright shaft G 0, attached to the center of the arch of the arched axle by a pin or bolt, G, substantially as shown and described.
