Description: |
| Abstract:
It is the object of my invention to provide an elastic support for the boiler, engine, and supporting-frame of a traction-engine, and such connection between the frame and the bearing-wheels and axle thereof that the movement of the supported parts upon the springs will not interfere with the proper meshing of the gears by which power is transmitted from the engine to the gears upon the main bearing-wheel whereby the latter are revolved.
Claim:
The combination in a traction-engine of the frame; the bearing-wheels; the axle; transverse plates forming a channel within which the axle is movable; yokes suspended directly from the axle, and plates through which the ends of the yoke pass; and springs disposed between the last-named plates; said first-named plates bearing directly upon the uppermost of the last-named plates. |
