Application filed May 4, 1908.
Serial No. 430,819. v
T o all whom 'it may concern.
Be it known that we, SAMUEL M. CURWEN and WARREN M. i SMITH4 citizens of the United States, residing in Haverford and Moores, Pennsylvania, lrespectively, have invented certain Improvements in Passenger-Cars, of which the following is 'a specification. i
Our invention relates to certain improve ments in passenger cars-of the type known as pay-as-you-enter cars in which the platform end ofthe ca r isdivided intoingress and egress sections so as to separate the passengers entering the car from those leaving it.
One object -of our inventionis to so lcon'- structa car of the type described, that the `incominor passengers will not only be separated from those leaving the car at the platform, but will also be'separated Withinthe car. This object we attainby extending the rail or partition through the doorwa ,A further object is to so arrange the si e doors of 'the platform that they can, be
opened or closed in unison; and a still fur-V ther object is to utilize the doors as part of the partition separating the ingress section from .theegress section of the platform.
Our invention relates further to certain improvements in seat structures. 'l l t In theC accompanying drawings: Figure l, is a sectional plan View of a passenger car illustrating our invention;'Fig. 2, is an elevation showing the egress and ingress doors closed Fig. 3, is a. transverse sectional view on the line 3 3, Fig'. l; Fig. 4, isa sectional `'plan view showinginea'ns forworking the I in whih--thre is a Wide passage-way b, A, A is the' section of the vestibule incl l ()l 051g doors so that they will work unison gFig. 5,' is an enlarged sectionalfview on the line 5 5, Fig. 2; Fig@ 6, is a perspective viewL illustra-ting a door notched for the recep-f` Y h tot'rav'eloni-the rails e, e for a similar purtion of the rail,'and Fig.' 7 ,"is a view show-4k A is theplatform of the ucar.A l
the platform by a transverse partition'",
the end of the platform. l
y -C is a fixed section of the vestibule on one iside of the latform made double-tojallow {Por/the door C' slide in. o This a channel c B is the bodylofthe car separatedsfroml door is arranged to close the enit door-Way c when the plat-forni is at the front of Athe car, and the door can be either operated by a-,passenger or canbe under the control of the motor man. On the opposite side of the platform from the sliding door C isa post a separating the ingress section a from the,
egress section a2, and hinged to this post are two doors D and E both swinging inward over the platform and forming, when in the position shown by dott-ed lines in Fig. 1, partrof a partition to prevent a passenger leaving the car from passing onto the in- Patented July 16, 1912.-
gress section of the plat-form, or' a passenger entering the car from passing into-the car by way of the egress section of the platform. F is a partition rail which extends from the platform through the passage-way b into the body of the car. yThis rail separates the ingress and egress sections of the platform and divides the passage-Way b in the partition into two parts. The rail is preferably offset at f so'as to increase the area of the egress section of the plat-form,
and terminates at a point at the edge of the doors D and E when they are in the open position as shown by dotted lines in Fig. l,
so that the ingress and egress sections of the platform are separated by the doors and the rail and the partition is continuous from the edgev of the platform at one side of the car.
well into the body of the car. l
On` the platform are two sets of curved rails d, d and e, e, and on the door D is a shoe d lextendin, 3 the full width of the door, and pressing against this shoe is a -series of spiral springs d2 in the present instance, causing the shoe to pressu'pon the rails, making a neat fit at the base of the doorn (Fig. 5.) The door Eliasa similar shoe" e' -fforced out by springs -and adapted pose. Thevdoors 'D and Eniay be 'operated independently .by the conductor,'if desired',
but .we prefer to connect themwin such a manner that when .one door -iSv-opened the otherwiu also be opened; vSeveral different Supporgand' pivoted to the door'. Eisl a rack Abar 2","the teeth of which mesh with the or Closed simultaneously.
bar and ha'ving lteeth meshing With the pinion z'. vAs the door E is Within easy reach of the conductor, and When opened or closed by him the door D will be opened In some instances a central post b may be placed in the doorway. `In this case the rail F may pass through the post as in Fig. 7 and doors may he used to close the-passageway Vand if a eentral post is not used then each door B2 is notched at L? to receive the rail, as in Fig. G. In the construction. where the platform is entirely'inelosed, we may provide a folding seat N on the fixed section C of the vestibule, and may support this seat by lhinged brackets n., clearly shown in Fig. 3,
and on each door D and E are hingedseats M which are supported .by pivoted brackets m. \\hen the platform A isat the rear of the car, then these seats 'are folded out ofl the way so as not to interfere with the ingress and egress of passengers, but when the' platform is at the forward ,end of the car and the doors D and E Closed and locked, if desired, then the seats M and N are extended so that they can he used by the passengers. The raill" isso shaped not to interfere with the egress of passengers from the front of the car throughthe door-way 0.
We claim. Y l. The combination in a passenger ear, of .a platform, a post at one side of theplatform dividing the platform into ingress and egress sections,two doors hinged to the post inclosing the side of the platform, a. gear wheel and two racks meshing with, the gear `wheel, one rack being pivoted to one door and the other being pivoted to the other door so that on the movement of one door the other vwill move.
2. The combination in a passenger ear, of a rea'r platform, a rail dividing the platform into ingress and egress sections, two doors closing one side of theplatfor'm, a single sliding door closing the opposite side of the platform, a hinged seat attached to the two doors on o ne side of the platform,
y and a hinged seat adapted to the fixed p0r- `tion of the framework of the vestibule on the other side of the platform.
In testimony whereof, we have signed our names to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
