To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANDREW CHRISTIAN- soN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Butler, in the county of Butler and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new I and useful Improvement in Car-Roofs; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My invention relates to car-roofs.
The objects of my invention as well as what I-claim as novel will fully hereinafter appear in the description and accompanyin" claims.
in the drawings, Figure 1 is a cross-section vention applied thereto; Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22, Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3, Fig. 1; and Figs. 4.- and 5 show a modified form of my invention.
In the drawings, the carline which is preferably formed of a channel-bar member with the outwardly extending flanges 3. The ends of the carline ported by the side-posts 4, said sideein'g composed likewise of 'channeL shaped members, the web-portions of said posts at the upper ends being cut and bent inwardly as indicated at 5, so as to form a seat or crotch in thepost to receive the end of the carline as clearly indicated in Fig. 3.
hese posts are provided with the flanges 6, and may be secured by rivets or other suitable fastening devices to the side-walls or metal sheathingS, said flangesprojecting above said sides 8 asindicated at 9.
The metal roof-plates 10 are riveted to the flanges 3 of the carlines, and said roofplates overlap as at 11 above one of the and a single line flanges 3 of the carlines, of rivets 12 passes through said overlap ing platesaand said flanges 3.
the car project out on to the flanges-4323M the L-shaped fasciasand side-plates 14 combined and arehe side riveted thereto by the rivetslii. I plates 14 are riveted to-th'e sides 8 flanges 6 of the posts-4 and the by asingle line of also connects said side said flanges, 6.
The side plates 14 have the downwardly projecting flange 18, which tends to nor lining of the roof are of a portion of a car showing my in-' th the numeral 2 designates construction is-obtained.
The roof-p ates plates with the upper portions 9 of 4 strengthen and stiffen the roof along its outer edges, and give the desired finish.
Nailing strips 19 are arranged transversely of the roof on each side of the carlines, and the boards 20 composing the innailed to said strips 19, said boards being connected by the ordinary groove and'tongue. The outer ends of the nalling strips 19 rest upon the strips 21 whichiarenailed to the boards 22 composing the innerside lining of the car, while the inner ends of the nailing strips 19 extend up to the center or ridge of the car, as indicated in dotted lines, Fig. 1. In is manner, the innerroofyis made up of two sections at each sideof the outer ends of said sections,being sup orted on the strips 21, while the inner en s are supported on the central strip 23.
This ridge strip 23-is preferably formed of metal and extends from oneend of the roof to the other,and said strip is su ported by the bolts 2=1,'wh;ich are suspended em the bolts 25, carried by the carlines 2. The bolts 25 pass through openings in the-'carlines, and the bolts 24 have the eyes 26'throu h which the bolts 25' pass. The nuts 27 on t e bolts 24 are screwed up to securely in position and bearing against adjacent oards 20 of the sections of the rooflining, and the tightening up of the nuts 27 and the forcing of the strip 23 into close contact therewith, will hold the sections up in position, so that a very strong and rigid In Figs. 4 and 5,- I havev illustrated a modified form of ny i-nvention'in which a deeper 1oa rlin' e 28 is employediand the roof-sections '29 and 30 extend crosswise of the car, being supported at'their ends on the strips'31. The cross-strip 32 covers the-meeting point 33 of thesections 29 and 30, and said strip is connested t0 the carline by means of the bolt 34, j which is carriedfon the bolt 35. By tightening up the nuts 36, the strip 32 is held up in very close relation sections.
