page_text: I GEORGE HOPKIN WELLS of 48, Monmouth Street Sheffield in the County
of York Coach Smith do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my Invention is to facilitate the working and adjustment of the
Railway Chair Apparatus or Contrivance, described in the Specification of Letters
Patent granted to William Corteen as dated 11th January 1884 N° 1222.
In the Invention referred to, which provides for a new form and construction of
Chair, having one part of same a moveable one, and having a horizontal hole
bored through the Shoulders of the two parts for the reception of a Cross Pin or
Bolt to act as a draw joint as therein described, it is stated, that these holes are
bored a little higher on the moveable than on the stationary part.
In some cases, I now find it advisable or convenient, to bore such holes higher
on the fixed or stationary part than on the moveable part of the Chair, or to bore
such holes more to or towards the front, or the back, or the side or sides, of the
stationary or moveable part, as the case may be, or to further vary the position of
the holes on the said stationary or moveable parts respectively, and I find that
such variations may be made accordingly, so long only, as, in each case, the
position of the holes, as between the two parts of the Chair respectively, varies
sufficiently, one from the other part, to provide for, and ensure, the Bolt or Pin
acting or to act as a draw joint, or with a draw bolt action, according to the
arrangement or cross-pin arrangement, as contained in and claimed for, in the said
Invention.

I GEORGE HOPKIN WELLS of 48, Monmouth Street Sheffield in the County of
York Coach Smith do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
The object of my Invention is to facilitate the working and adjustment of the
Railway Chair Apparatus or Contrivance described in the Specification of Letters
Patent granted to William Corteen as dated 11th January 1884 Number 1222.
In the Invention referred to, which provides for a new form and construction of
Railway Chair, having one part of same a moveable one, and having a horizontal
hole bored through the shoulders of the two parts for the reception of a cross-pin
or bolt to act as a draw joint as therein described, it is stated that these holes are
bored a little higher on the moveable than on the stationary part.
In some cases, I now find it advisable or convenient to bore such holes higher on
the fixed or stationary part than on the moveable part of the Chair, or to bore
such holes more to or towards the front or the back or the side or sides of the
stationary or moveable part as the case may be, or to further vary the position of
the holes on the said stationary or moveable parts respectively, and I find that
such variations may be made accordingly, so long only as in each case the position
of the holes as between the two parts of the Chair respectively, varies sufficiently,
one from the other part, to provide for and ensure the Bolt or Pin acting or to act
as a draw-joint or with a draw-bolt action, according to the arrangement or Cross-
pin arrangement as contained in and claimed for in the said Invention.
The accompanying Drawings illustrate the features of my Invention.
Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 are side elevations of the parts when fitted together ready
for the insertion of the pin or Bolt. Figure 5 is a side elevation of the metal block
without the moveable part.
In Figure 1. the higher position of the hole on the stationary part, by dotted
lines A, is shewn as corresponding to the position of the hole AT on the moveable
part.
'
In Figure 2 the lower position of the hole on the stationary part, by dotted
lines B, is shewn as corresponding to the position of the hole B on the moveable
part.
In Figure 3 the forward position of the hole on the stationary part, by dotted
lines C, is shewn as corresponding to the position of the hole O on the moveable
part.
In Figure 4 the backward position of the hole on the stationary part, by dotted
lines D, is shewn as corresponding to the position of the hole D' on the moveable
part.
In Figure 5 the stationary block only is shewn before the moveable part is
adjusted.

page_text: 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:
An alteration or improvement for some cases in the position of the holes bored
through the fixed and moveable parts respectively of the Railway Chair described
in the before mentioned Specification, by boring such holes higher or more
towards the front or back of the stationary or moveable parts of such Chair as
above described.
