UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM H. JENKINS, OF GIRARD, ILLINOIS.
REACH FOR CARRIAGES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,652, dated September 27, 1881.
Application filed July 20, 1881. (Model) To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. JENKINS, of Girard, in the county of Macoupin and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Reaches for Carriages, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description.
The connecting-poles or reaches of wagons and carriages are usually formed of a heavilyironed single and continuous bar of wood, which is made rigid by numerous strong braces leading from it to the axle-trees and rocker of the wagon or carriage. The objection to this construction is that when the carriage or wagon is drawn over uneven roads the up-anddown movement of the wheels in passing over the irregularities in the road subjects the reach to great tortuous straining, which is apt to loosen and bend the braces, and ofttimes the reach is broken in this manner.
The object of my invention is to overcome this difiiculty.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of an axle, showing my improved reach; and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same, taken on the line 90 w of Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The axleA and the rocker B and the circles c 0 may be of any approved construction. Secured to the rocker and the axle in any suitable manner, preferably by means of the arms 0 c and e, is the shouldered sleeve E, within which sleeve fits the end of the reach F, which is provided with the enlarged metal head G, which head engages with the shoulder h of the sleeve E, and thus secures the reach to the axle and rockers.
It will be seen that the reach is free to turn in the sleeve in the manner of a swivel, and thus the axles are free to move up and down, to pass over any obstacle or ditch, and not in any manner cramp the reach or braces, or in any manner injure the wagon or carriage.
It will be understood that instead of making the joint in the reach near the axle, as shown, it may be made at any part thereof and not depart from the spirit of my invention; but the plan shown and described is the preferred plan on account of its simplicity, cheapness, and durability of construction.
Havingthus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- The sleeve E, having arms 6 e e and shoulder h, in combination With axle A and reach F, the latter being provided with a head, G, engaging said shoulder, as and for the purpose specified,
WILLIAM H. JKINS.
