Speciicaton of Letters Patent'.
Patented Apr. 8, 1919.
Appneation mea January 27, 1917. serial No. 144,988.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ALVIN C. MCCORD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Journal-Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My present invention relates to journal boxes of the type wherein the top thereof is cast fast to a pressed steel or independently formed metal cellar, and which construction is disclosed and broadly claimed in the prior patent to Ivar A. Randel, No. 1,077,159, entitled journal box and issued of date, October 28, 1913.
In the construction of the journal boxes of the above type it has hitherto been the custom to form the pedestal channels in vertically extended portions of the cast top. In accordance with the most approved and satisfactory methods of making these journal boxes, it has been found desirable to make the molds in cores and to reverse the cellar in the mold in the operation of casting the top fast onto the cellar. The successful carrying out of this operation necessitates elimination of as much as possible of the cast steel or metal of the top. I have found that this can be done and that a better box may be obtained by forming the pedestal channels either entirely, or nearly so, in the sides of the pressed steel or metal cellar.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention, like charac-ters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings;
Figure 1 is aside elevation of the improved journal box;
Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof with some parts broken away and some parts sectioned;
Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the'line 3 3 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the box with some parts sectioned on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1.
The pressed steel cellar is indicated, as an entirety by the numeral 5 and the cast top is indicated, as an entirety, by the numeral 6, but both the top and the cellar are of the Master Car Builders type, and for the purpose of this case it is only necessary to particularly note that the top is formed with depending side flanges 7 that embrace and are cast fast to the top or upper edge of the cellar and is further" formed inside of the box with depending wedge stops 8 and side stops 9. The sides of the cellar 1 are formed with vertical and parallel outwardly pressed corrugations 10 that form ribs on the outer face of the sides and afford the required pedestal channels 11. The pedestal channels 11 thus form and the ribs 10 extend to the extreme upper edges of the sides of the cellar. -The cast top 6, in alinement with the upper extremities of the ribs 10, is formed with short outstanding ribs 10a and between them with a short channel 11a that constitutes short upper end extensions of the complete pedestal channels. However, without the said features 10a and 11a, completely operative pedestal channels will be formed directly on the sides of the pressed steel cellar.
By this arrangement, it is possible, without providing long extensions from the fast top, to provide long, vertically extended pedestal channels, it being simply a matter of design as to how far down on the sides of the box the said channels are carried. Of course, the channels form ribs that may without additional cost, be formed inthe sidesof the box in the operations of otherwise pressing the sheet met-al into the form of the cellar.
The channels in the side of the box are herein designated as pedestal channels, but this expression is used in a broad and liberal sense to cover such construction when combined with pedestals on which the box would slide vertically, or when rigidly secured to fixed pedestals, columns, frame brackets, or the like.
What I claim is:
1. A journal box comprising a cellar and an independently formed top made 'fast thereon, said cellar having laterally open pedestal channels formed directly in the sides thereof, and said top having laterally open supplemental channels alined with lthe upper extremities of the channels formed in the sides of said cellar.
2. A journal box comprising a pressed metal cellar and a top cast fast thereto, said cellar having laterally open pedestal channels formed directly-in its sides, the said top having laterally `open supplemental Channels alined With thev upper extremities of the channels formed in the sides of said cellar.
3. A journal boxcomprising apressed metal cellar and a top east fast thereto, said cellar having laterally open pedestal channels formed directly in its sides, and extended to theextreme upper edges of the sides of said cellar, the said top having laterally open in presence of two Witnesses.
