As indi- cated in Fig. 3, it will be seen that the stop- shoulder 15 is formed by bending downwardly 5 a portion of the plate or is cast integral there- with. What I claim is- In a device of the class described, the com- bination with a stop having an upright stand- io ard, a lateral bearing-arm extending from the upper end of the standard, and a down- wardly-inclined brace connecting the outer end of the bearing-arm with the standard, of attaching - brackets loosely embracing the 15 bearing-arm and adapted to connect the lat- ter to a vehicle-body, one of the brackets be- ing located at the rear end of the bearing-
arm and in engagement with the inclined brace, and the other bracket being located at the opposite outer end of said arm and in en- 26 gagement with the standard, whereby longi- tudinal movement of the bearing-arm is pre- vented, the outer bracket being provided with a pendent stop-shoulder located in advance of the bearing-arm and in normal engage- 25 ment with the forward side of the standard, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses. EDUARD A1JGUST OLEF ERIKSON, Witnesses: R. P. RUSH, L. N. MARTIN.
