Description: |
| Abstract:
The first part of my invention consists in a carriage mounted on three wheels, somewhat similar to that of the common steam fire-engine, except that the body may be made in any suitable form, having long slot openings in each side, in order to receive the bearing-boxes of the hind axle, with gum springs over them; their boxes arc all neatly fitted int the lower end of these openings, so as to slide up and down, as the spring yields, in passing over rough roads the back end of this body is provided with a convenient seat for" the operator, the lower pact of which is made to answer as a water-tank, with the force-pump that supplies the boiler with water immediately under it. This pump is operated by an eccentric on the hub of the main wheel by means of a rock-shaft, and arms connecting with the pump.
Claim:
The sliding steam-cylinders A A, and stands B B in which they work; also the connections C C between the lower end of the cylinders and journal-boxes, in combination with the crossheads D7, the eccentrics K , cranks E, gum springs F, wheel G , and platform L; also the pipes H, I, and M, the boiler N, and chimney O; also the force-pump Y with its pipe Z Z, the shaft U, and eccentrics T, by which the pump is operated. |
