SLEIGH-KNEE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 22, 1918. Serial No. 223,937.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, FRANCIS Gr. HINE- GARDNER, FRANK B. MILLARD, and DAVID W. BOWMAN, citizens of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the county of Tania and State of Iowa, have invented certain new invention, and showing its connection with the axle spindle and the runner. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail plan view of the plate, from which the lmee is formed, before being bent to shape.
The knee is formed of a single plate of sheet metal 2 out to the shape shown in Fig. 3, in which the dotted lines show where the plate is subsequently bent to an angle. Angular notches 4 are cut longitudinally in the end portions of the plate, and form center lugs 5 and side lugs 6. The middle portion of the plate is bent around to form a split sleeve 7 which is conical and which fits over the axle spindle or skein 8. A block 9 of packing material, such as wood, is fitted between the end portions of the plate under the axle spindle, and 12 are rivets or bolts which pass through holes 14 in the plate and in the packing block 9, and secure it in place. The block 9 enables the sleeve to be fitted to axle spindles ofdifi'erent size, the width of the block being adjusted so that the sleeve may fit the axle spindle or skein.
The center lugs 5 have holes 15 for bolts or screws 16, and they rest on the top edge of the runner to which they are secured by the said bolts. The lugs 5 are bent a little to suit the runner, and the lugs 6 are bent downwardly so that they bear firmly against the sides of the runner. Holes 18 are formed in the lugs 6, and 19 are bolts which pass through the lugs 6 and the runner, and secure the lugs to it. Tapering trough-shaped arms 20 are formed in the plate, and extend from the points of the notches 4: to the conical sleeve. The side portions of these arms stiifen them very materially, and the arms extend downwardly in opposite directions from the split sleeve.
A sleigh knee constructed in this manner is inexpensive, and is easily made, and as it is formed of sheet metal it is relatively light and not liable to be broken.
What we claim is:
A sleigh knee formed of a single sheet of metal having its middle portion bent around to form a conical split sleeve for engaging directly with an axle spindle, said sheet having connecting portions at the sides of the split or gap of the sleeve, and having trough-shaped arms which extend downwardly and outwardly from the connecting portions and which terminate in fastening lugs, the sides of each trough-shaped arm being arranged in vertical planes.
In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures.
FRANCIS G. HINEGARDNER. FRANK B. MILLARD. DAVID W. BOWMAN.
