VEHICLE SUSPENDING DEVICE.
APPLICATION FILED HAY 17, 1901.
WYNFORD BRIERLEY, OF NEW MALDEN, ENGLAND.
VEHICLE-SUSPENDING DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 13, 1907.
Application filed May 17,1907. Serial No. 374.242.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WYNFORD BRIERLEY, a subject of the King of England, residing at Parkstone, Boombe Road, New Malden, in the county of Surrey, England, journalist, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vehicle-suspending Devices, and I do hereby 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.
My invention relates to vehiclesuspending devices, including a compound spiral or convolute spring, thereby balancing the vehicle more evenly and greatly reducing vibration, said compound springs having a tendency to always restore the parts to their normal position when displaced therefrom.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of a part of a vehicle, showing my invention applied thereto, and Fig. 2 is an end view of the same.
a indicates a compound convolute spring, with the coils arranged in reverse directions, whereby any displacement from the normal position will produce a tendency to restore the parts to said normal position. It has been found in practice that such a compound spring is far superior to separate oppositely acting springs, one reason being that it is very diflicult to get springs of the same tension.
it shows the wheel axle, and 1' indicates a double bracket forming supports for the axle j. Through the upper ends of the bracket 71 passes a rod m. On the ends of this rod m are fitted the ends of two pairs of compound springs a, such as already described, one pair on each side of bracket, the middle portion of these springs being attached to the axle j by means of the pin 6.
On the axle j is keyed one end of an arm n, to the other end of which is pivoted a lever o. The other end of this lever is attached to the framework of the vehicle.
10 shows a spring box which may be used when it is desired to use ordinary springs in addition to the compound springs a.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. In vehicle suspending devices, the combination of the vehicle axle, :1 cross shaft above the same, compound convolute spiral springs fastened at the center to said cross shaft. an arm extending up from said cross shaft. and a support connected to the vehicle frame and pivotally connected to said arm, substantially as described.
2. In vehicle suspending devices, the combination of the vehicle axle, a cross shaft thereon, compound convolute spiral springs each havingits central portion attached to said cross shaft, an arm fastened to said cross shaft, and a lever carried by the vehicle frame and pivot-ally connected to said arm, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof, I aifix my signature, in presence 01 two witnesses.
WYNFORD BRIERLEY.
Witnesses A. E. VIDAL, H. D. .TAMnsoN.
