Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept.. 791920.
Application filed April 3, 1925. Serial No. 371,05l.
To all whom @may concern Be' it y known that l, Srnms'rrn N. STEWART, a citizen of the United States, and
' a resident of Dayton, in the county of Montv@ther objects rwill appear as the description proceeds and witlP reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which:
Figure l isa pla-n lview of one embodiment of my improvectrtailway car.
Fig. 2 is an end view of the same. Fig.v 3-is a view in-elevation of the same. Fig. l is a sectional view of a railroad track with supplemental rails.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view of a platform used to place my car or remove it from the rails. y
In the specification. like reference charac,- ters refer to'like parts throughout the sev eral figures. and in Fig. l. lthe car proper consists of boards A, B and C forming the bottom. ends and sides respectively. The bottom ofy the' car is secured by means of battens G to journal boxes F of axles D on which are mounted the small flanged iron wheels E. To the upper portion of sides C is bolted a seat member V (Fig. l). Vhile only one seat is shown, obviously as many may be placed thereon as desired. Seat V is provided with a back rest S mounted on uprights R in the ordinary manner. )I and N are beams suitably7 bolted to end frames B and to each other. which. together with bars O. which connect the side and end pieces, provide supports for wheelsQ. The radius of wheel Q must necessarily be greater than the distance from the lowermost portion of Wheels E to beam M as when the car is olf the rails, Wheels Qy are depended upon to support the car.
As shown in Fig. et, supplemental rails H are spaced between main rails l formingthe track for the car.
In Fig. 5. a hinged support 4 is shown fixed to incline 6. so-that the carfmay be pushed upon the platform by means o'f large wheels O. the entir:l car swung through an,
arc of and then pushed off onto the small I' wheels E which then rest on rails H and l.
.ln operation, these cars may'l be either operated singly or in'trains by connecting several together in any suitable manner. The motive power is designed to be supplied by means of either motor or foot propelled unicycles either attached in front` or rear as the operator may desire.
ln case of handling freight', the car may, after having reached its destination as near aspossible by rail be removed from the rails, leaving the train intact or separatii'ig the f cars as the case may be and pushed or pulled toits ultimate destination by way of the street or roads.
The advantage of my composite railway car will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art as by its use. a transfer of baggage is made unnecessary between the city and its surrounding villages. lts light weight and simple construction enables one operator to transport several cars with little power. Its ready adaptability to either road or rail makes it doubly valuable for either freight or passenger transportation.
vhile l have shown but one embodiment of my improved railway car. it will be evident that various modifications and changes .may be made. without departing from the spirit of my invention. therefore` what l claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A railway car comprising a body. a pair of Hanged wheels at substantially the front and rear thereof. adapted to travel on rails. an additional pair of wheelsl intermediate the first mentioned pairs of wheels journaled rigidly to said body and adapted to travel on a road. the lowermost point of the intermediate pair of wheels extending below the flanged wheels.
In testimony whereof, l aflix my signature.
SYLVESTER l. STEWART.
