PATENT Gretna UNITED STATES SAMUEL NICKEL, OF FLINT, MICHIGAN.
SULKY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 511,092, dated December 19, 1893.
Application filedMarch S0, 1893. Serial No. 468,408. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL NICKEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Flint, in the county of Genesee, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sulkies; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in sulkies, and consists in a certain construction and arrangement of parts,
i as hereinafter fully set forth, the essential features of which being pointed out particularly in the claims.
The object of this invention is to construct a light and strong sulhy provided with a seat that may be readily tilted to maintain a horizontal level, adjusted, so as to properly balance the weight of the driver. This object is attained by the construction illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved sulky, a portion of one of the Wheels being broken away to more clearly show the arrangement of parts. Fig. 2 is an inverted perspective of the sulky with the wheels removed. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section through the seat, its supporting mechanism, the spring and axle. Fig. at is a detail in perspective of the means employed for tilting the seat.
Referring to the letters of reference, A designates the thills, the downwardly curved ends I) of which are clipped to theaxle B, which is arched and carries the spring 0 that supports the seat 1). The circle-bar E is attached at its ends to the inner face of the thills, and extending rearward, its curved por-.
tion is clipped to the arch of the axle.
F designates a curved bar that is mounted on the spring, and journaled at its ends in the couplings G. Passing through the sleeve a of said coupling at right angle to the bar F, are the parallel rods H, upon which the seat D is mounted, and which is made adjustable longitudinally thereon by means of the eyeboits c that freely receive said rods, and which pass through the seat and aresecured by the nuts 2, whereby, by tightening said nuts, said bolts may be drawn upward to bind said rods against the under face of the seat to retain said seatin place, and by loosening said nuts, said seat may be adjusted upon said rods H, so as to properly balance the weight of the driver. The forward ends of said rods H are curved outward and provided with a loop f which forms a stirrup or foot rest for the driver. vided with a plate 7?. having aseries of aperturest' in vertical line, that are adapted to receive the bolt 7c extending horizontally from the plate Isecured to the inner face of the thills, more clearly shown in Fig. 4. Said bolt is adapted to pass through the apertures c' in said plate and receive the nut m, by which construction the forward ends of the rods H may be adjusted vertically, causing the seat to tilt upon the journals of the rod F, in the couplings G, and thereby maintain said seat at the proper or desired level, irrespective of the Weight of the driver or the height of the horse.
Extending from the axle, forward to the under face of the thilis, are the brace-rods J, which brace and strengthen the parts, and relieve the draft strain upon the curved portions of the thills.
Having thus fully set forth my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a sulky, the combination of the thills, the axle, the spring on said axle, the cross-bar upon said spring, the couplings journaled on the ends of said bar, the seat, the rods secured to the seat and passing through said couphugs, the forward ends of said rods being attached to the thills so as to permit of vertical adjustment, whereby the tilting of the seat may be efiected.
2. In a sulky, the combination of the thills, axle, and spring, the cross bar on said spring, the coupling journaled on the ends of said bar, the rods passing through said couplings, the seat mounted on said rods so as to adjust longitudinallythereon, the forward ends of said rods being coupled to the thills so as to adjust vertically.
The outer rod of the loops 1 is pro- 3. In a sulky, the combination of the thills on the thills adapted to enter said apertures,
and axle, the cross bar, the couplings joursubstantially as set forth. :0 naled on the ends of said bar, the rods pass- In testimony whereof I affix my signature in ing through said couplings and supporting presence of two witnesses.
5 the seat which is movably mounted thereon, SAMUEL NICKEL.
the forward ends of said rod terminating in a Witnesses: loop and having a plate attached thereto pro- GEO. \VILDMAN,
vided with a series of apertures, and the bolts JESSIE L. BAOHTEL.
