Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 13, 1920.
Application filed May 5, 1919. Serial No. 294,663.
To'aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT W. JOY, residin New States, ful Improvements in Railway-Cars, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and to use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the preferred form of the invention, though it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the exact details of construction shown and described, as'it is obvious that various modifications thereof within the scope of the claims will occur to persons skilled in the art.
In said drawings:
Figure 1 yis a centrali vertical section through my improvedv pedestal and journal box, shown attached to the side sill of an industrial ear;
Fig. 2 is a view, partly in front elevation and partly in section; and
Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the pedestal, the journal box being shown partly in plan and partly in section.
It is `to be understood that the invention is not limited to the exact details of construction shown and described, as it is obvious that various modifications thereof within the scope of the claims will ork, and being a citizen ofthe United pedestals for railway cars and is adapted especially for small cars such as cane cars and industrial cars and it is an object of my invention to provide a pedestal that will shield the journal box from rain and dirt and from material falling from the car and will also serve to keep the journal box lid locked in place sol that the brass journal bearin cannot be removed unless the pedestal and car are elevated.
Referrin to the drawings, 1 Vdesignates the pedesta which is .preferably formed as a casting having side members 2 joined by a projecting top` member 3 and a web 4 joining the front edges of the side members and which web is provided with openings 5 and 6, which latter is formed of sufiicient area to permit the lid to swingoutwardly -when desired, and the parts are inmproper position to permit it, for replacement of the at Brooklyn, Kings county, State of have invented certain new and use- OCCHI.
brass journal bearing. The top member 3 1s provided with a flange 7 which is secured to a frannng member of the car, in the pres- 'ent instance the car sill 8, by rivets 9 and the top member 3 and flange 11 of the car side sill 8 are joined by rivets 10. At the bottom of each side member 2 is an outwardly extendingfiange 12 provided with a bolt opening 13 and each side member 2 is provided at its rear edge with an outwardly extending reinforcing flange 14 which is journaled to the projecting top member 3 the usual dust guard (not shown) and hav ing the usual opening for an axle 27. y The front of the boxis closed by a hinged lid 23 which is provided with an oil opening 26 adapted to be closed by a pivoted cover 24 secured to the lid 23 by a rivet 25. A pin 21 passing through the lugs 2O extending from the bottom 18 of the journal box 15 and` intermediate lug 22 extending from the lid '23 secures the lid 23 to the box 15.
In assembling the journal box and pedestal, the box is placed on the axle 27, a brass journal bearing 34 being placed between the journal box and the axle, the lid 23 is closed and the journal boxis entered between the sides 2 at the bottom of the pedestal. The pedestal is then lowered until the spring 28, placed between the journal box top 16 and the under side of the pedestal top member 3, transmits the load of the carbody to the journal box. To retain the spring 28 in position, central annular projections 29 and 30 are provided on the top 16 of the journal box and the under side of to member 3 of the pedestal, respectively. tie bar 31, secured to the anges 12 by bolts 32, joins the pedestals on each side of the car and, passing beneath the opening between the sides 2 of each pedestal, prevents the withdrawal of the journal box.
When the journal 4box is in place, the lugs 22 of the lid and the ends of the pin 21 are shielded by the lower fiange portions 2* ofthe pedestal sides 2 so that the pin 21 cannot be Withdrawn and the upper end of lid 23 is in back of the web 4 so that the journal box lid 23 cannot be tilted or the pin 2l withdrawn and the lid 23 swung outwardly Without elevating the pedestal The journal box and spring being behind the sides 2-and web 4 are protected by the pedestal from material falling from the car and from blows from obstructions alongside the track.

9. The combination of a pedestal, a journal box, a lid for said journal box adapted to receive the end thrustof an axle and a web for the pedestal engaging said lid and holding it in position against the end thrust of the axle.
10. The combination of a pedestal, a journal box having a lid, a pin securing said lid to said journal box and means on said pedestal securing the pin in position.
l1. The combination of a pedestal having side members, a journal box having a lid and a pin securing said lid to said journal box and held in position by the side mem-k bers of the pedestal.
12. The combinationk of a pedestal having side members and a Web, a journal box, a lid for said journal box engaged by said pedestal Web and a pin securing said lid to said journal box and held in position by the pedestal side members.
13. The combination of'a pedestal having side members and a web -joining the side members, a journal box, a lid for said journal box adapted to receive the end thrust of an axle and held closed by j said pedestal Web and a pin joining said lid to said journal box and held in position by the pedestal side members.
14. The combination of a'pedestal and a journal box having a lid held closed by said pedestal While said journal box is in its normal position in said pedestal.
15. vThe combination of a pedestal and a journal box having a lid secured'to said vbox by said pedestal While said journal box is in itsl normal position in said pedestal.
