BOX CAR DOOR STRUCTURE. APPLICATION FILED JULY 14, 1915.

JAMES W. RUMSEY, OF WEST BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO FRANK T. HAYS,'OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
BOX-CAR-DOOR STRUCTURE.
Specification of Letters Patent. 'PatentedFeb. 13, 1917.
Application filed July 14, 1915. Serial No. 39,830.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it lmown that I, JAMES W. RUMsnY, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of West Berkeley, county of Alameda, State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Box-Car-Door Structures, of which the following is a full and clear specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of a portion of the side of a box-car showing my invention applied thereto; and
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
This invention has relation to that type of car-door which slides back and forth across the door-opening in the side wall of the car and the object of this invention is to provide simple means which will insure a water-tight'joint or seal at the front edge of the door when the door is closed and which-at thesame time will greatly increase the rigidity of the door, especially along its front edge, as more fully hereinafter set forth.
In the drawing a designates the side wall of the car, I; the post at the left-hand side of the door-way, and 0 a portion of the front edge of the sliding door. The front corner of the front edge of the door is rabbeted and secured in this rabbet or recess and extending the full height of the door is a metal plate at, the securing means being preferably a series of bolts 6 which pass through the plate and through the door. The front edge of this plate is provided with a flange or extension f which extends over upon the front edge of the door the full thickness of the door, its inner edge terminating approximately flush with the inner face of the door. These two integrally connected plates (2 and 7 form an angle iron which extends the full height of the door and therefore serve to greatly strengthen and stiffen the door along its front edge. The thickness of the plate (Z is about onehalf that of the rabbet in the door, and at the left-hand edge of the plate d an outwardly extending integral flange g is formed, the outer wall or face of which abuts against the shoulder it formed by the rabbet in the door.
In the body of the door-post b is a metal plate 2', this plate being clamped between the vertical members j and 7:: comprising the main part of the post. This plate 2' runs the full length of the door-post and has its front edge projecting a distance beyond the member j of the post equal to the thickness of the door 0, and along said projecting outer edge is formed an integral flange Z which, when the door is closed, overlaps upon the plate 0? and has its front face flush with the front face of the door. The free edge of the flange or plate 61 abuts against the flange g, so that this plate Z completely fills the recess formed along the front edge of the door, thereby avoiding the formation of any ribs or other flanges or projections along the front faceof the door that would be liable to form dams for the collection of rain-water, whereby the liability of leakage or seepage at the front edge of the door is reduced to a minimum.., It will be observed that when the front edge of the door is moved-to closed position, it fits within the groove formed between the flange Z and the front face of the door-post member J, and, in order that the front edge of the door may enter this groove with certainty and be forced or cammed against the front face of said post member j, the corner of the angle iron d, f is rounded off at m, and the inner corner of the free edge of Z is rounded olf at n. Tobrace the post structure as well as the abutment plate 2', I bolt to the outer face of the car-body a vertical beam or supplemental post member 0, one face of this post member abutting solidly against the adjacent face of the abutment plate 2', this post being thick enough to extend approximately to the outer edge of said abutment plate. The abutment plate, extending into the body of the post structure as described and shown, serves to not only afford a solid abutment for the door, but also serves to prevent seepage of water into the car through a path around the abutment plate, as is obvious.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- The combination with a post of a boxcar, said post having anchored to it an abutment plate whose front edge is provided with a laterally extending flange to form a vertical groove for the front edge of the door, and a sliding door provided along its front edge With an angle iron Whose plates plate lying approximately flush with the 10 or flanges lie against the front edge of the face of the door.
door as well as against the front face of the In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my door, the plate lying on the front face of signature in the presence of two Witnesses. the door being rabheted into the face of the door and being provided along its free edge JAMES RUMSEY' with an outwardly extending flange said Witnesses:
outwardly extending flange as Well as the HUGH I. KEON, Jn,
outer face of the flange of the abutment PERCY E. TOWNE.
