Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed September 14, 1916. Serial No. 120,153.
Z '0 all whom it may concern:
Be itv known that I, GHAnLns E. FULLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Omaha in the county of Douglas and State of Nebraska .'have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Locomotive-Saddles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to locomotives and provides an improved connection or mounting for the exhaust pipe.
In the constructions heretofore commonly used the fracture of the connecting flange or boss to which the exhaust pipe is connected involved expensive repairs to the saddle casting or even its complete replacement. My invention involves .an improved formation of the saddle and exhaust pipe connection to permit easy and satisfactory repair in case the connection should be fractured.
A saddle with connected exhaust pipe and exhaust nozzle are shown in vertical section in thedrawing, and illustrate one form in which the invention may be applied.
The saddle is represented generally by the reference numeral 1. The flanges by which it is attached to the smoke box are shown at 2 and have the usual holes 3 for the attachingbolts'. The exhaust ports leading from the cylinders (not shown) are illustrated at a. -As is common they curve upward to the top of the saddle, but contrary to common practice they are extended above the top of the saddle by a tubular extension 5. This is provided with a flange 6 and preferably is divided into two distinct passages by a wall 7 which forms a continuation of the wall or barrier in the saddle between the ports 4. The height to which wall 7 extends is a matter of exhaust-port design and is not a feature of the present invention. Accordingly this may be made of any height appropriate to the design of the particular engine.
A flanged exhaust pipe 8 carrying any usual exhaust nozzle 9 is bolted to the flange 6 by means of bolts 10. This forms the regular or initial connection.
In case the flange 6 or extension 0 1s fractured the extension 5 may be machined ofl" to a heavyboss ll-formed for the purpose at the junction of the saddle 1 and extension 5. This boss 11 then takes the place of the usual boss and is drilled and tapped to receive studs or the like by means of which a special exhaust pipe of suitable length is attached.
My invention thus'involves two important features, the use of an extension projecting above the saddle and the provision of a boss atthe base of the extension for the purpose described.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A locomotive saddle formed with a tubular extension forming a continuation of the cylinder exhaust ports. and provided with a boss at the junction of said extension with the saddle proper, said boss being capable of being formed into an exhaust pipe connection after the removal of said tubular extension.
2. A locomotive saddle formed with a tubular extension forming a continuation of I the cylinder exhaust ports above the saddle,
and having a thickened portion at the base of said extension capable of serving as an exhaust pipe connection after the removal of said extension; and an exhaust pipe carried by said extension.
3. A locomotive saddle provided with anintegral tubular extension forming a continuation of the cylinder exhaust-ports above the saddle and having a thickened portion at the base of said extension capable of serving as an exhaust pipe connection after the removal of said extension; a connecting flange at the extremity of said extension; and an exhaust pipe bolted to the flange on said extension.
In testimony -whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
CHARLES E. FULLER.
