KENNETH RUSHION, PIIILADELPHIA IENNSYL"l'tNIit,` .ASSIGNOR TO THE BALDWIN LOCOIVIOTIVE WORKS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A`
CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA.
ASH PAN HANGER FOR LOCOll/LOTIVES.
Application filed December 28, 1920. Serial No. 433,577.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it knownrthat I, KENNETH Rusirron,
a citizen oi the United Statesn residingl in Philadelphia7 Pennsylvania, have invented cert-ain Improvements in Ash Pan Hangers for Locomotives, oit which the following a specification.
`@ne object of my invention is to provide a means for securing the ashpan oit a locomotive to the mud. ringl oi the boiler so that the joint will accommodate itself tothe shape oi* the pan, and a further object of the invention is to provide mea-ns wherebyT the pan can be readily detached from the boiler' structure. i i
ln the accompanyingdrawings Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through the rear end ot a locomotive showi ing the tire box and the ashpan` and my improved means ot connecting` the ashpan to the boiler structure.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View on the line 2 2, Fig. 1.
Figs. 3 and e are perspective views illustiating` details of the invention.
1 is the trarne of the loco-motive 2 is the boiler, in thek rear end of which the lire box 3. The tire box casing` is separated from the casing oit the boiler by a niud ring 4f. rlhis mud ring` extends entirely round. the bottoni of the lire box,V and. Within this fire box is a grate of usual con` struction which is not shown in the present instance.
6 is the ashpan which is located directl under the tire box so as to receive and hold the ashes passing through the grate. ashpan may be o'f any shape desired, depending upon the type of locomotive to which it .is applied. In the present instance the rear axle `7 on which the wheels S are mounted passes through a recess 9 formed inthe underside off-the ashpan. The pan `i has `incline-d sides which direct the ashes towards openings 10 which 'are normally closed bysliding doors 11. In the present instance the doors are actuated by a leve 12 pivoted at 13 to the frame of the locomotive and connected to the sliding doors by a link 111 and the two sliding doors are connected together by a bar 15. The anges 5 of the ashpan 6 are at an angle to the body of the pan, and this angle 'tai-ies slightly in each locomotive, and in ordei'vto accommodate this angles() that there will be no ditlicultyin coupling,` the ashpan to the mud ring; of the boiler strucure l secure a series ot ai'igle plates 1G to the flanges 5 of thevashpan, and these angle plates are arranged in pairs with the uprinit por tions facingx each other and spaced apart sufficiently nto allow the tongue 17 oi a bracket i8 to extend into the space between the two angle plates as shown in Fig. 1. The brackets i8 are secured by bolts or other tast-chinos to the mud ring Ll oil? the boiler structure, and a bolt 19 extends through openings in the angle plates and in the tongue 17 securing' the parts together and :firmly holding; the ashpan to the boiler structure. Ey making this connection in the iorin oit a hinge the couplings will ac commodate themselves to the angles of the ashpan Mange, and when it is desired to reinove the ashpan all that is necessary to be done is to withdraw the bolts 19. As shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 3 the tongue 17 ot the bracket 18 may be made of considerable length and cut ott when the parts are to be assembled7 as in some instances the space between the boiler structure and the ashpan may vary in diiilercnt locomotives.
l. claim:
il. The combination in a locomotive. oi' a boiler structure "having a lire box; an ash pan located under thelire box; a series ol `brackets depending Vfrom each side o t the lire box; plates secured to each side ot the ash pan; and fastening' devices arranged longitudinally oit the pan and extending; through the brackets and plates.
2. The combination in a locomotive, ot' a, boiler struct-ure having a lire box; an ash pan under the lire box, said ash pan having' an angular flange at each side; angle plates secured. 'to the upper surfaces of the flanges; bracketssecured to the boiler structure at each side oi? the lire box, said brackets ha ing; tongues extending between the angle plates of the ash pan;v and bolts arranged longitudinally oi the pan and coupling the plates 'to the brackets.
` KENNETH RUSHTON.
