Description: |
| Abstract:
I have invented and made certain new and useful improvements in fitting the joints that connect the parts of steam engines, by which `improvements a degree of elasticity is communicated to the joints that will frequently prevent breakage of the parts wherein it is employed, such elasticity being obtained by the insertion of prepared india-rubber or other fit elastic fabric in the parts subject to alternating strain in a manner, for which I seek Letters Patent of the United States; and that the said improvements, and the mode of constructing and using the same, and the effects produced thereby are fully and substantially set forth and shown in the following description, and in the drawing annexed to and making part of this speciation of my said improvements, wherein the single figure shown may represent one end of a connecting-rod or pitman, or of a side rod, or one end of any other part that is connected by a joint to form any moving part in a steam engine for stationary, marine, or locomotive uses, or a joint in any other machinery.
Claim:
I do claim as new and of my own invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- The application of prepared india-rubber or of any similarly effective elastic substance in the parts forming the joints of connecting-rods of steam-engines and other machinery for the purposes of preventing jars and breakage of the parts when a reciprocating motion is changed to a rotary. |
