Complete Specification Left, 30th May, 1895-Accepted, 6th July, 1895
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Fixing Springs to the Axles of Road Vehicles.
We, GEORGE Sheepway, Innkeeper, Newent, Gloucestershire, and JAMES
SMITH, Millwright, Newent, Gloucestershire, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
:-
The improvement according to our invention is devised as a simple, useful and
efficient means for employment, as a wrench, when fixing the springs to axles of
road vehicles.
The improved wrench according to our invention consists of a bar or lever
provided with a handle at its outer end. The other or inner end of said lever is
80 shaped as to take the thrust and to prevent slipping laterally when being used.
Near the inner end of said lever a hole is drilled and through which is passed a pin
or stud, upon which is free to vibrate, or fulcrumed, the slotted end of a pawl or
pallet piece; the toothed end of which latter is passed through one of the holes
formed in the cover plate of the clip bolt enclosing the springs.
When using our improved wrench the springs having been placed upon the axle
of the vehicle, and cnclosed in the usual clip bolt, the inner end of our improved
wrench is placed against one of the arms or members of same. The toothed end
of the pawl or pallet piece, above referred to, is then placed in one of the holes
formed in the usual cover plate of the clip bolt aforesaid enclosing the springs,
whereupon the lever is depressed, and being fulcrumed as aforesaid, draws the cover
plate over the end of the free member or arm of the clip bolt; and, this, without
any risk of stripping or injuring the screw threaded end of same.
