Description: |
| Abstract:
A saddle bracket or steerage head for road rollers is built up from mild steel or other metal plates and is provided with a tube forming a bearing for the vertical shaft or post. A bracket of box section may be formed by welding together two channel-shaped members 1, 2, a vertical tube 6 being welded in apertures. The upper end may be closed by bending and welding the members 1, 2, and the lower end by welding on a plate 9. The chamber thus formed may be used as an engine silencer or as a container for fuel or water, inlet and outlet openings 11, 12 being provided with welded seating rings or washers 13, 14. The plate 9 may be provided with an inspection opening 15 normally closed by a cover-plate secured by screws fitting into apertures 16. The bracket is secured on the frame by nuts or bolts passing through holes 17. In a modification four plates are welded together to form a box-section bracket. |
