Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 19,802. Hage, A. Sept. 21. Motor road vehicles.-The steering-connexion between the fore and rear parts of a vehicle is constructed to allow a controlled relative movement in all directions. A member 1, secured to one of the vehicle parts, is formed with a frame 3 which is universally jointed to a steering-bolt 8 capable of sliding in a circular cover 9 of a box 7, which is carried by a member 2 detachably secured to the other part of the vehicle. The bolt 8 is held down by springs 14, 15 acting on a washer 16 which is carried by a cylindrical nut 11 mounted on the bolt 8 and capable of sliding in a guide 12. The lower surfaces 18, 19 of two transverse parts 17, 17<1> of the frame 3 lie in a cylindrical surface having the same axis as the longitudinal bolt 20 of the universal joint, so that either part of the vehicle can turn about the bolt 20, the motion being impeded by the friction of the parts 18, 19 against the plate 9. The'surfaces 18, 19 are also rounded as shown to permit either member 1, 2 to tilt longitudinally under control of the springs 14, 15. To balance the weight of the draught-pole, the part 17<1> is placed nearer the bolt 8 than the part 17. The universal joint may be replaced by a ball-and-socket joint, and the box 7 enclosing the springs may be omitted. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which a longitudinal bolt 21, about which the frame 22 of one vehicle part can rotate, is secured to the frame 3, and is provided with a nut 26, between which and a transverse bridge 23 on the frame 22 a spring 27 is placed to absorb longitudinal shocks. In this case the parts 17, 17<1> need not be rounded about the bolt 20. Rotation about the bolt 21 is limited by a stop 28 formed on the frame 3, or by a spring-key working in a wide slot formed in a transverse bridge 24 of the frame 22. A modification is also described in which the bolt 20 is omitted, and the plate 9 is formed on the box 7 which is open at the bottom to act as a guide for a disk formed on the nut 11. Rubber springs, or helical or leaf springs of steel or gun-metal in tension or compression may be used, and they may be placed above or below the joint.
