Figure 2 is 4a vertical sectional view of the door on the pla-ne indicated` 'by the line" 2-2 of Figure- 1 showing the fastening or holdine'f'apparatus emborlyirig'l the invention Y in elevation.
Figure 3 is a sectional view of the door fastener showing the usually permanent or fixed door post in elevation.
Figure t is a detail view in vsection of the foot block and attached platel showing the lower ends of the door post and grain post in operative relation therewith.
Figure 5 is a detail view. in perspective of the foot plate detached.
Figure 6 is a similar view of a slightly l modied form of foot plate when it is desii'ed to apply the attachment to a car without removing the door post.A l
Figure 7 is a detail sectional view illustratingia swivel spool mounted onto a clamping bolt. l
v The door post 10 usually forms a part of the structure ofa car and servesV as a bearing for the outer surface of a grain door 11 which may consist of a plurality of super-VV posed planks' of which in the construction illustrated the extremities are interpreted be' GRAIN- noon FASTENER.

3. A door fastener for grain cars comprising a foot plate .secured to the floor of the car and extending inwardly from the door post thereof, and provided at a distance inwardly of said post with a seat, a grain post having its lower end positioned in said seat, meansto secure the upper end of said grain post to said door post, and door engaging means carried by said grain post, said means comprising a series of independently adjustable clamps.
4i. A door fastener for grain cars having a grain post for arrangement in parallelism with the car door post, a foot plate for en gagement with the grain and car door posts, whereby their lower extremitiesare held in spaced relation, the grain post having its upper end bent to engage the-inner face of the car door post and being provided with a slot, securing means passing through said slot and engaging said door post, and clamping means carried by the grain post for engagement with the door for holding against accidental displacement. Y
5. A door fastener for grain cars including a door post, a grain post arrangedy in lparallel relation thereto, a foot plate having seats for the reception of the lower ends ofv said? posts, means for securing the upper Y ends of the posts together, and door clamps carried by the grain posts. A
