Description: |
| Abstract:
n Letters Patent of the United States No. 1,020,524, dated March 19, 1912, I showed and described flexible cross reaches connected to two pivoted axles and extending in substantial parallelism with the sides of a wagon body and transversely thereof at a point near one of the axles, such flexible reaches being connected to both axles at points on opposite sides of the pivots. The object of my invention is to improve upon the means shown and described in said patent; to obviate undue wear on the chains, and avoid likelihood of their being broken by torsional strain. And a further object is to provide simple and highly efficient means for readily and easily adjusting the chains.
Claim:
A wagon having, in combination, two pivoted axles and carrying wheels thereon. a body, flexible cross reaches connected to one of the axles and extended in substantial parallelism with the sides of the body and transversely thereof, and fixed members connected to the other axle at points on opposite sides of the pivot thereof and to which said chains a reconnected at a point in line with the pivot of said axle. |
