EUGENE BUSWELL AND THOMAS OASOADEN, JR., OF WATERLOO, IOWA; SAID ASSIGNOR TO SAID GASCADEN.
BUSWELL ADJUSTABLE CLAMP.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, EUGENE BUSWELL and THOMAS GAsoAnnN, Jr., citizens of the United States of America, and residents of Waterloo, Blackhawk county, Iowa, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Clamps, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to improvements in adjustable clamps, and the object of our improvement is to provide means for clamping a sprocket-rim to a carrying-wheel, removably, and adapted to be adjusted to be secured at will to the spokes of carryingwheels where such spokes are of different dimensions, and also adapted to be clamped detachably to any part of the edge of such a sprocket-rim. This object we have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter fully described and claimed, and which are illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a sprocketrim secured to the spokes of a metal carrying-wheel, wherein the spokes are of relatively small diameter. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a sprocket-rim secured to the wooden spokes of relatively large diameter of an other carrying-wheel. Fig. 3 is an enlarged broken detail showing our improved clamping-means as used to connect a sprocket-rim to a wooden spoke of relatively large diameter. Fig. 1 is an under plan view of said clamping-means. Fig. 5 is a side elevation, broken, of our improved clamping-means as used to secure a sprocket-rim to a metal spoke of a relatively small diameter.
Similar numbers refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
()ur adjustable clamp consists of the following coacting parts or elements. 15 and 8 are bodies which are used as clamping-members to secure between them the inner edge of a sprocket-rim 2. The opposed lugs 16 and 11 of said members respectively are adapted to contact when the members are secured to the rim 2, the rim being held between the upper part of the member 8 and the lug 19 on the member 15, the lug 19 engaging and resting between the ribs. 17 and 18 on said rim. The main portion of the body 15 extends at an angle to the sprocketrim 2 and has on its outer end a relatively large concavity 20 adapted to fit about one side of a large spoke 7, and with a; small Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed January 9, 1909.
Patented July 13, 1909.
Serial No. 471,489.
concavity 13 adapted to fit one side of a relatively smaller spoke 6. The side edges of the body 15 are grooved, and the body 8 is orificed, to receive the limbs of a U-bolt 3, said limbs being exteriorly threaded at their extremities to receive the nuts 10. When it is desired to secure the sprocketrim 2 to certain of the large diameter wooden spokes 7 of a carrying-wheel 5, the spoke 7 is simply clamped between the concave end 20 of the body 15 and the inner curve of the U-bolt 3.
l Vhen it is desired to adjust the clampingdevice to cause it to fit a smaller diameter spoke 6 of a carrying-wheel 1, a clampingmember 12 is inserted detachably in the inner curve of the U-bolt 3. This member 12 has a curved grooved outer edge to fit and conform to the curve of said U-bolt, while it has a projection 17 extending toward the sprocket-rim, the end of the projection being provided with a concavity 14 of relatively small size adapted to grasp the outer side of the spoke 6, the inner side of said spoke being grasped by the oppositely located concavity 13 in the end of the body 15. In either case, when the nuts 10 have been placed on the ends of the U-bolts after the latter have been passed through the orifices in the clamping-member 8, the inclosed spoke is held securely as well as the inner edge of the rim 2. This clampingmeans is peculiarly adapted for use in connection with the driving-mechanism of a removable receptacle manure spreader, since the driving-sprocket rim 2 may be secured at Will to a carrying-wheel of either a set of running-gear fitted with earrying-wheels 1 having small metal spokes, or to the larger wooden spokes 7 of a carrying-wheel 5 of another set of running-gear.
In Fig. l, the clamping-device is shown as used to secure the sprocket-rim 2 to the metal spokes 6 of a carrying-wheel 1, wherein the spokes are eighteen in number, staggered, and the clamping-connections are made to spokes on the inner side of the wheel alternately, except that on account of the uneven number of inner staggered spokes, two of the clamping-connections are secured to adjacent spokes of the inner series. In this use, the clamping-member 12 has been used to hold the spoke 6 of a relatively small diameter.
In Fig. 2, the clamping-devices are used on alternate spokes of larger diameter, there being fourteen wooden spokes 7 of the wheel 5, and in this case the clamping-member 12 is removed, since the inner curve of the U- bolt 3 serves to grasp the outer side of the spoke, in conjunction with the concavity 20 of the body 15.
It will be observed, that our clampingdevice is secured to the inner edge of the sprocket-rim 2 by clamping solely, the limbs of the U-bolt 3 not passing therethrough, as in some other devices. In consequence of this, the clamping-members 8 and 19 may be secured to any portion of said rim, which enables the devices to be used, no matter how many spokes are in the carrying-wheel, and without regard to their different distances of spacing apart.
The device is thus adaptable first to dii it'erent diameters of spokes, and second, to be secured on any part of a sprocket-rim as desired when it is necessary to locate them properly to be opposite certain spokes of carrying-wheels without regard to the differing numbers of spokes in such wheels.
Having described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. In combination, a carrying-wheel, a sprocketor gear-rim, and a detachable connection between said sprocket-rim and a spoke of said carrying-wheel, comprising clamping-members adapted to grasp said rim between them rcmovably, a U -bolt with limbs detachably securing said clamping members together, and detachable engagingmeans seated in the loop of said bolt and adapted to grasp one side of said spoke, one of the aforesaid clamping-members having a counterpart seat for the other side of said spoke.
2. In combination, a carrying-wheel, a sprocketor gear-rim, and means for detachably securing said sprocket-rim to a spoke of said carrying-wheel, comprising clampingmembers adapted to grasp said rim between them removably, a U-bolt with limbs detachably securing said clamping-members together, and detachable engaging-means between the limbs of said bolt adapted to hold a spoke of said carryingwheel between them, said engaging-means having one separable part provided with a seat of small dimensions, and a counterpart member having seats of both small and larger dimensions,
located opposite to the said separable part and to the loop of said U-bolt.
3. I11 combination, a carrying-wheel, a sprocketor gear-rim, detachable clamps having separable opposed jaws adapted to grasp and be slidably adjustable along said rim, adjustable means connected between said clamps and located near but inside of the inner edge of said rim for detachably clasping the clamps together upon said rim, and other clamps connected to said firstmentioned clamps, and adapted to be detachably secured to said carrying-Wheel.-
et. In combination, a carrying-wheel, a sprocketor gear-rim, detachable clamps adapted to grasp said rim, and separable clamps connected to the first-mentioned clamps, said second-mentioned clamps adapted to be secured to a spoke of said carryingwheel of a relatively small diameter, one of the parts of the second-mentioned clamps being removable to adapt the clamps to be secured to a spoke of relatively large diameter.
5. In combination, a carrying-wheel, a sprocketor gear-rim, clamps having separable opposed jaws adapted to detachably grasp and be slidably adjustable along said rim, adjustable means connected between said clamps and located near but inside of the inner. edge of said rim for detachably clasping, the clamps together upon said rim, and means connected to said clamps adapted to secure the latter to said carrying-wheel. v
