Description: |
| Forbush & Hyatt - patent attorneys
The inventor was better-known for his barrel-making machinery.
My invention, which relates more particularly to heavy or lumber wagons, consists, first, in connecting the forward bolster with the axle by means of a pivot-post from the former, which fits and turns in an elevated socket or sleeve of the latter, whereby the use of the ordinary hounds or braces and turntable are dispensed with; second, in the employment of a rubber spring in the base of said socket, so that the forward end of the load may rest thereon; third, in the construction of the tubular cast-iron axles, as hereinafter described; fourth, in forming an oil reservoir or chamber around the shanks of the journals by enlarging the sockets formed for their reception in the end of cast-iron axles, and, in connection therewith, forming a groove along the upper side of the journal leading from such reservoir, in which the oil from the latter is gradually and automatically fed to the journals, as required; fifth, of a transversely-divided and dumping bottom or box, the two sections thereof so arranged as to dump the load toward the center of the space between the two axles, leaving it, when required, in a compact heap, whereby the running-gear is protected from the sand and other dirt which usually falls thereon, while the shortness of the sections enables them to be swung back away from the ground, so as to permit the wagon to readily pass over the unloaded mass; sixth, in the arrangement of a rearward projecting arm from the forward cast bolster, with the brace connecting the under side of the axle with the dumping-axis of the forward section of the bottom, for securing and bracing the parts.
