TC. H'ENDRY. Dumper for Railroad Tlzenders,
wifi" Patented Feb. 6,1872..
www; f @www '.TNITE THOMAS O. HENDRY, OF UNION POINT, GEORGIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN DUMPERS FOR RAILROAD TENDERS.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,344, dated February 6, 1872; autedated January 19, 1872.
To all whom it may concern: l
Be it known that I, THOMAS G. HENDRY,
of Union Point, in the county' of Green and State of Georgia, have-invented a new and Improved Dumper for Railroad Tenders; and I do hereby declare that the following' is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which Will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.
Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section of my improved dumper. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. l
This invention relates to a new dumping apparatus for loading railroad tenders with Wood or other fuel; and has for its object to provide the damper with a double bed, so that it can be used for two tenders in succession. The invention consists in the application to a dumping-car of a sliding box, the car contain ing one load and the box another of fuel.
A in the drawing' represents the dumpingcar. It is hinged upon a truck, B, which is placed onto a track, O, at right angles to the track D, on which the tender moves, and elevated above the same, as shown. The front end of the car A projects beyond the track, so th at it will be readily dumped. A small Wheel, a, is applied to the under side of the car A, and supported by a center rail, b, which is bent downward at the verge of the elevated track, to guide the car during its dumping action. Upon the car A is placed a sliding box or case, F, which rests on Wheels c c on the bottom of the car, and is about half as long as the same.
The car A is filled with fuel in front of the box F, when the saine occupies the back porl tion of the car, as in Fig. l, the box F being also iilled with as much fuel as the car. The latter is then moved toward the track D, and dumped as soon as a tender is in position, so that the load in its front part will be emptied into the tender. The full box F will move forward on the car while the saineis being emptied, and follow the discharged fuel, to keep the car overbalanced on the front end. As soon as the car is emptied, the parts can remain in the stated position until the arrival of another tender. The front board d of the box F is then elevated, so that the contents of the box will be emptied into the tender. Thus a double loa-d is contained in one car, and can be discharged at different times.
The front part of the car may be braced by chains e. A rope, f, or other means may be used for moving the truck B on its track O. A stop, y, is arranged lon the inner side ofthe car to arrest the box F and prevent its moV ing too far forward.
Havin g thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The dumping-car A, provided with the sliding box F, to contain a double load of fuel fof locomotive-tenders, as set forth.
IVitnesses: THOS. C. HENDRY.
