REAR AXLE TRUSS. APPLIUATION FILED maza. 1914.
Pafented Aug. 25, 1914,
HER-MAN SUNVOLD, 0F SACRED HEART,
MINNESOTA.
REAR-AXLE TRUSS.
messie.
To all/whom may conce/m Be it known that I, HERMAN H. SUNVOLD, a citizen of the United States. residing at Sacred Heart, in the county of Renville and State of' Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rear-Axle Trusses, of which the following is a specilication, reference being. had therein to the accompanying drawing.. l
This invention relates to a rear axle truss for automobiles, and the principal object of the same is the provision of a simple and efficient supporting means .for bracing the axle at its central portion. i f
Another object otthis invention is the.
production 'of a truss which is provided with a plurality of clamping members which are so formed as to securely hold the truss rods in their correct position upon the rear axle.
With these and other-objectsthis inven-. tion consists of certain novel combinations, constructions and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
ln the accompanying drawing: Figure l v is an elevation Aot the rear axle and other oor-tions of an automobile showing the truss members attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig.` l; Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of F ig. l. vFig. 4 is a detailed perspective view of one of the clamps. Fig'. 5 is a plan view of the complete truss showing the same detaehed.
Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals l indicates the usual axle which I is supported by the wheels 2 and which is provided at its central portion with the gear housing 3. p
In order to prevent the axle l from break-` ing atthe central portion or adjacent the housing 3 and for the purpose otsupporting the axle in its correct position so as to allow the gear withinthe housing 3 to efficiently operate there are provided a plurality of truss rods which extend upon the outer portion or" the axle and which bear thereon to eiliciently support the same. A truss rod 4 extends so as to brace the rear portion ot the axle l by bearing upon the rear portion ofv the housing 3 while the truss rod 5 extends under the axle as clearly disclosed in Fig. l so as to support the same. It will be seen that the truss rods e and 5 areeach provided at their central portion wlth a Specification of Letters Patent.

rods in their correct position upon the axle y l. Each clamp comprises a primary section 7 and an auxiliary section 8 which `are bowed so as to lit upon the axle l. l The auxlliary section 8 is provided with laterally extending feet 9 which are adapted-toengage the laterally extending feet 1G of the primary section 7. "Securing boltsll are thenpassed through these feet 9 and .l0 for securely holding the clamps in their correct position upon the axle. The primary sec- .tion'flis provided with the depending lug l2' upon its' lower side which is provided vwith "a transverse opening 13 for vthemecep-` tionj of the lower truss rod 5. rllhis truss rod 5 is provided with a head le for preventing the rod from moving` from engagement with the lug l2. Between this lug l2 and one of the feet l0 there is provided a diagonally extending lug l5 haviiiga transverse opening '16 adapted to' receive the truss rod 4, this-truss rod being provided `with the 'usualhead lll. Since theselugs l2 and 15 are formed upon the'primary scction 7 as above described they-.will be formed ata spaced distance apart so .as to easily engage the truss rods 4 andVor holding the truss rods in their correct spaced relation upon the rear axle whereby the rear axle will be ehoiently supported.
From the above description :will be seen l that the" sections may be easil n taken apart when it is desired to remove tie truss mehr ber from the rear axle or when it is desired to place thev same thereon whereby any changes which are desired to be made may be easily done without interference from the truss member.
What is claimed, is
ln a rear axle truss for automobiles, the Combination with an axle, a plurality of truss rods. one oi" said rods adapted to fit upon the lower portion oft the axle and the other rod' ada y ted to fit upon the rear portion ot the ax e7 a clamp carried by the axle adjacent euch end thereof, each clamp comprising a primary and an auxiliary sect-ion,
Said sections adapted to loe secured together for holding said clamp in position, each of said primary sections provided upon its lower side Withl a depending lug, each of said primary sections also provided with a diagonally extending lug formed adjacent said depending lug, said lugs provided with transverse openings adapted to receive said t-russrods whereby said truss rods will eiiciently brace the central portion of the. axle,
said lugs being formed in a position to effi- 10 oiently hold said truss rods 1n their correct positions.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aix my signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.
