WILLIAM P. CHAMPNEY, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
FIFTH-WHEEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 544,155, dated August 6, 1895.
Application filed June 27, 1894.
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. CHAMPNEY, of Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fifth-Wheels, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of my improved fifth-wheel. Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line II II of Fig. 1.
My invention relates to the McLaughlin type of fifth-wheels and is designed to strengthen and improve the construction of such wheels.
In the drawings, 2'is the axle, 3 the axlebed, and 4: the top axle-plate, carrying at its outer ends the sections 5 of the lower circleplate. This plate is provided with a central circular opening to receive a boss upon the tubular socket 6 of the upper perch-iron and is secured to the axle by front and rear flanges 7 and S, which are bolted through the axle. The upper perch-iron is secured to the headblock 9 by bolts 10, passing through a flange 11, which is cast integral with the perch-iron, and secured to the head-block by clips 12 is Serial No. 515,810. (No model.)
to receive an upwardly-projecting boss upon the tubularsocket and carrying the segments of the upper circle-plate 16. The king-bolt 14 passes through the head-block, tubular socket, and axle and is secured by end nuts, as shown, the lower nut holding the lower perch-iron 15 in place.
The advantages of my invention consist in the increased strength and durability of the wheel.
I claim-=- A fifth-wheel, having a top axle-plate pro vided with a central aperture to receive a tubular socket upon the perch-iron, said plate having continuous depending front and rear flanges extending past the central aperture and arranged to strengthen the axle at the point where it is weakened by the king-bolt hole, said flanges being connected by trans verse bolts, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
WILLIAM P. OHAMPNEY. 'WVitnesses:
