AUXILIARY CAR-STEP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 7, 1913.
Application fil ed. March 17, 1913. Serial No. 754,960.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, OLE SYvERsoN, a cltizen of the United States, residing at Minot, in the county of Ward, State of N ort-h Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Auxiliary Car-Steps; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in car steps, and particularly to auxiliary steps used on steam railway coaches.
Gne object of the invention is to provide an auxiliary step for the bot-tom of a flight of steps on a railway coach which is simple in construction, and which can be quickly and easily moved into and out of operative position.
Uther objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings: Figure l is a perspective view of my auxiliary step in closed position. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of my step in extended position.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawings, 10 represents the bottom step of a flight of steps of a railway coach, and 11 the side rails thereof. Secured to each of the side rails is a depending bracket 12. Pivotally mounted between these brackets is my auxiliary step, which comprises the tread portion 13, the riser 14, and the side rails or guards 15. The shaft 16 extends through the side rails within the angle of the riser and tread and has its ends carried in the lower ends of the brackets 12. Secured to the under face and near the forward edge of the tread is a handle 17, by means of which the auxiliary step may be rocked into open or closed position. Depending from the lower forward edge of the step 10 is a stop member 18 against which the tread 13 engages when the auxiliary step is in the folded position shown in Fig. l, and against which the riser 14 engages, when the step is in extended position, as shown in Fig; 2. The angle formed by the riser and tread of the auxiliary step is obtuse, so that when the step is in folded position, the end of the riser portion will be below the pivot of the step and thus prevent the step accidentally jarring into extended position. It will also be seen that the same effect will be obtained when the step is in extended position.
What. is claimed is:
An auxiliary step for railway coaches comprising depending brackets carried by the lowermost of the flight of coach steps, a shaft carried by the lower ends of the brackets, a step including a riser, a tread. and side guards pivotally mounted on the shaft, the riser and tread meeting at an obtuse angle, and a stop carried by the said bottom most step for engagement by the riser and tread of the auxiliary step, whereby the weight of the step will be below the center of its pivot when in either open or closed position to prevent accidental movement thereof, and a handle carried by the auxiliary step.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
OLE SYVERSON.
Witnesses:
