IMPROVEMENTS IN CARRIAGES
Year: 1884

page_text: I GEORGE HENRY MORGAN of 129 Long Acre in the County of Middlesex, Coach
Builder do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
CARRIAGES to be as follows:-
The Invention has for its object improvements in carriages and relates to a
peculiar combination and arrangement of springs and parts connected therewith
whereby I obtain a more elastic support for the carriage than heretofore.
In applying my invention to the fore part of a carriage the ordinary carriage
under springs are carried at the lower part by the axle and at the upper part are
connected to the under carriage.
To beds carried by the top under carriage I connect the lower parts of C springs
and their upper parts I connect to the carriage body by means of leather loops and
I also interpose between the body and the top under carriage beds transverse half
springs which are connected at their centres to the centre line of the boot.
In applying my invention to the hind part of a carriage the ordinary carriage
under springs are carried at the lower part by the axle and at the upper part are
connected to the spring bar.
To the upper part of the spring bar I connect the lower parts of C springs and
their upper parts I connect to the carriage through leather loops and short springs
attached to the body loops of the carriage or to a cross spring on the carriage
body. The front ends of these C springs are attached to a cross spring or to studs.

page_text: I GEORGE HENRY MORGAN of 129 Long Acre in the County of Middlesex, Coach
Builder do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
CARRIAGES and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The Invention has for its object improvements in carriages and relates to a
peculiar combination and arrangement of springs and parts connected therewith
whereby I obtain a more elastic support for the carriage than heretofore.
In applying my invention to the fore part of a carriage the ordinary carriage
under springs are carried at the lower part by the axle and at the upper part are
connected to the under carriage.
To beds carried by the top under carriage I connect the lower parts of C springs
and their upper parts I connect to the carriage body by means of leather loops and
I also interpose between the body and the top under carriage beds transverse balf
springs which are connected at their centres to the centre line of the boot.
In applying my invention to the hind part of a carriage the ordinary carriage
under springs are carried at the lower part by the axle and at the upper part are
connected to the spring bar.
To the upper part of the spring bar I connect the lower parts of C springs and
their upper parts I connect to the carriage through leather loops and short springs
attached to the body loops of the carriage or to a cross spring on the carriage
body.
The front ends of the C springs are attached to a cross spring or to studs.
And in order that my said Invention may be more clearly understood and readily
carried into effect I will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings more fully
to describe the same.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS,
Figure 1 is a side view of a Brougham.
Figure 2 is a side view of a Landau and Figure 3 is a side view of the back part
of a Landau showing my Invention applied thereto.
In all the above Figures the near side wheels are removed in order more clearly
'to show my Invention.
In applying my invention to the fore part of a carriage the ordinary carriage
under springs a are carried at the lower part by the axle b and at the upper part
are connected to the under carriage c.
To beds c carried by the top under carriage I connect the lower parts of
C springs d and their upper parts I connect to the carriage body by means of
leather loops and studs d², I also interpose between the body and the top under
carriage beds, transverse half springs e which are connected at their centres to the
centre line of the boot f and at their ends by links to the top under carriage beds.
In applying my invention to the hind part of a carriage the ordinary carriage
under springs g are carried at the lower part by the axle hand at the upper part
are connected to the spring bar i.

page_text: To the upper part of the spring bar i I connect the lower parts of C springs ; and
their upper parts I connect to the carriage through leather loops 7 which according
to the arrangement shown at Figures 1 and 2 are at their lower ends connected to
short springs k attached to the body loops 7 of the carriage whilst at Figure 3, such
leather loops are shown connected to a cross spring m on the carriage body.
The front ends of these C springs are attached to a cross spring n as shown ab
Figures 1 and 3 or to studs n¹ as shown at Figure 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The peculiar combination and arrangement of springs and parts connected
therewith for supporting the front part of a carriage substantially as herein shown
and described.
2. The peculiar combinations and arrangements of springs and parts connected
therewith for supporting the hind part of a carriage substantially as herein shown
and described.
