MENTS IN CARRIAGES
Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
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 IMPROVE-
MENTS IN CARRIAGES to be as follows:-.
The Invention has for its object improvements upon an invention for which
provisional Protection was granted to me dated July 8, 1884 N° 9907.
In the Provisional Specification accompanying my application for the Provisional
Protection above referred to I described the employments of transverse half springs
interposed between the carriage body and the top beds of the under carriage when
applying my Invention to the fore part of a carriage but in practice I found that
such transverse springs offered too much resistance to allow tho C springs therein
described to come fully into play.
In order to obviate this defect I according to my present Invention in lieu of
said transverse springs, employ longitudinal springs which are connected at their
fore parts to the top under carriage beds and at their hind parts to the boot or to
some part carried thereby or by the carriage body.
'
In order, when the carriage is empty to prevent the front part of the under
carriage being too much depressed by a person stepping on to the "futchels" or
by the weight of the pole, when such is used, I employ a telescopic or other stay
connected to the top under carriage at one end and to the fore part of the boot at
the other and so arranged that when the carriage is empty such stay shall be at
the dead stop but which will allow of the required motion of the springs.

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 IMPROVE-
MENTS 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 upon an invention for which
provisional protection was granted to me dated July 8, 1884 N° 9907.
In the provisional specification accompanying my application for the provisional
protection above referred to I described the employment of transverse half springs
interposed between the carriage body and the top beds of the under carriage when
applying my said invention to the fore part of a carriage but in practice I found
that such transverse springs offered too much resistance to allow the C springs
therein described to come fully into play.
In order to obviate this defect I according to my present invention in lieu of
said transverse springs employ longitudinal springs which are connected at their
fore parts to the top under carriage beds and at their hind parts to the boot or to
some part carried thereby or by the carriage body.
In order, when the carriage is empty, to prevent the front part of the under
carriage being too much depressed by a person stepping on to the "futchels," or onto
a bar carried thereby, or by the weight of the pole, when such is used, I employ a
telescopic or other stay connected to the top under carriage at one end and to the
fore part of the boot at the other and so arranged that when the carriage is empty
such stay shall be at the dead stop, but which will allow of the required motion of
the springs.
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,

page_text: In order to obviate this defect I according to my present invention in lieu of said
transverse half springs employ longitudinal springs e which are connected at their
fore parts to the top under carriage beds and at their hind parts to the boot or to
some part carried thereby or by the carriage body as shown.
In order, when the carriage is empty, to prevent the front part of the under
carriage being too much depressed by a person stepping on to the "futchels" or
onto the splinter bar ffixed thereto, or by the weight of the pole, when such is
used I employ a stay g which is mounted at its lower end on an axis g¹ carried in
lugs or bearings h fixed to the top under carriage bed and at its upper end passing
through a plate i fixed to the fore part of the boot, such stay 9 being provided at
its upper end with an adjustable stop g². Other kinds of stay may however be
employed provided they are so arranged that when the carriage is empty such stay
shall be at the dead stop but which will allow of the required motion of the springs
and play of the carriage body.
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 use in combination with a carriage provided with under carriage springs a
and C springs & mounted as shown and described of longitudinal springs e
substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose stated.
2. The employment of a stay f substantially as herein shown and described and
for the purpose stated.
.
3. The combination of longitudinal springs e and stay g with a carriage provided
with under carriage springs a and C springs & substantially as herein shown and
described and for the purpose stated.
