BOX-CAR LINING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 9, 1918.
Application filed July 28, 1917. Serial No. 183,342.
To all whom, z't may concern:
Be itknown that I, JOHN DroxsoN, a citizen of the United States, and a 'resident of Vancouver, in A the county of Clarke and State of Washington/have invented an Improvement in Box-Car Linings, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in linings for box cars, house cars, etc., and it consists in the combinations, constructions and arrangements herein described and claimed.
An object of my invention is to provide a removable lining which may be used when comminuted .material, such as coal, grain, and the like, is shipped.
A vfurther object of\my invention is to provide a lining whichwill protect the sides of the car. and which will also prevent loss of the comminuted material.
A further object of my invention is to pro-f vide a lining which may be readily removed or replaced with a minimum of labor.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel' features of the invention will be particularly top thereof.
pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional view through a car provided with my improved lining. Fig. 2 is a sectional view through one of the doors of the car and through the delivery tube adjacent thereto.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the delivery tube and a portion of the lining..
Fig. l is a horizontal section through the car and lining.
Fig. 5 is af vertical section at right angles to Fig. 1.
In carrying out my invention I make use of a car of the ordinary type, such a car being shown at A in the drawings. On the interior of the car, next to the side walls thereof, I secure a sack B, this sack being made preferably of canvas or other similar material. The sack is provided with a series of eyes C which ,arev arranged to lit over hooks D in the sides" of the car near the Slidable. doors E are preferably disposed at each end of the car and at the sides there- .of,.and at eachoffthese slidable doors is a .delivery or discharge tube T which is made of canvas and which being flexible may be folded, when not in use, and retained behind the door, in the manner shown in Fig. 2.
Fromthe foregoing description of the vaf'rious parts of the device the operation thereof may be readily understood.
' The car is filled with the commi'nuted material such as that shown at F in Fig. 1, and the delivery tubes T are folded behind the doors E, see Fig. 2. In this condition the material is shipped, and when it is desired to empty the car the doorsE are opened, the tubes 'I are unfolded, and the material is allowed to run outby gravity into suitable receptacles.
. This device may be used for all kinds of comminuted material such as grain, pulverized fuel, or other pulverized material. The sacksprotect the sides of the car and there is practically no loss of the material.
It is but a few moments work to take ont the lining by removing the eyes C from the hooks D, when the car may be used for other purposes.
It will be understood that after as much material has run out as will come by gravity, the sack is manipulated by hand so as to direct the balance of the material toward the tube which is open at the place where delivery is to be made.
I claim:
1. The combination with a box car having a series of hooks on its side walls, of a sack made of fabric and conforming to the interior of the car, said sack being provided with a series of eyes arranged to engage the hooks for supporting the sackin position,
4 and flexible delivery tubes leading from said sack.
2. 'Ihe combination with a box car having a series of hooks on its side walls, of a sack made of fabric and conforming to the interior of the car, said sack being provided with a series of eyes arranged to engagel the hooks for supporting the sack in position, and iexible delivery tubes leading from said sack, said flexible delivery tubes being capable of being folded, said car having a slidable door arranged to retain the folded tube in position when the door is shut.
