STOCK can;
Application filed January 8, 1921. Serial No. 435,893.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES H. KooN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Onarga, in the county of Iroquois and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Stock Car, of which the following is a specification. v r This invention relates to stock cars, and more particularly to the linterior construction thereof, it being the primary object of the invention to provide movable partitioning gates within the car, whereby the car maybe divided into a plurality of compartments.
A further object of the invention is to provide gates of this character which may be readily folded to positions adjacent to the walls of the car, whereby the same may be out of theway, when the car is to be used for shipping stores.
I A still further object of the invention is the provision of means for supporting the gates, whereby the same may be moved to positions to adapt the car for shipping stock of various sizes, such as hogs or cattle.
With. the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a stock car constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view thereof, th roof of the car being removed.
Figure 3, is a transverse. sectional view through the car.
Figure 4 is a fragmental detail view of a gate'and its supporting means.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the car is of the usual construction including the supporting beams 5, and flooring 6 to v predetermined positions.
which are connected the standards? that The side Walls of thecar are A formed by the spaced longitudinal bars 9, the end Walls thereof being formed by the spaced longitudlnal bars 10, the spaces between thev bars permitting a free passage of air through the. car to insure efficient ventilation of the car. The supports for the partitions include a pair of relatively long rods 11, which have their ends bent at angles to permit thesame I to be secured to the standard 7/ The partitions or movable gates are formed prefer- PPort the roof 8. j r v r ably offrames 12 andthe verticalan'd hori-,
Disposed along the opposite side of the car, are a plurality of keepers indicated at 16, which'keepers are disposed in spaced relation with each other and accommodate the hook members 17 whereby the gates 01 partitions may be held in various positions of adj ustmen the vertical rods19, which rods have the up per ends thereof extending to points adj a-' cent to the roof of the car. j 7
Hook members 20are carried by the oppo- A plurality ofvertically adjustable gatessite end of each partition, .and' as shown these hook members extend downwardly to permit the same 'to be passed through-the,
keepers 21, whereby the gate may be held in From the foregoing it is obvious-that 5 i the car is to be used for shippinghogs or the like, the gates maybe moved to positions as shown by Figure 4 of the drawings, or to positions where the lower edges of the gates v are in close proximity with the floor of the car, but should the car he used for shipping i cattle such as horses, cows or the like, the gate may be moved upwardly, the lower hook member 20 being positioned in the upper keeper 21. I
What is claimed is 2- In a stock car, supporting rods secured to one Wall of the car, gate members having loops formed atone end thereof and adapt" ed to embrace portions of the supporting rods, hook members at the opposite end of the gate members, keepers secured to the opmesses posite Wall of the car, said keepers adapted to receive the hook members of the gates, to secure the gates in various positions of adjustment.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my oWn, I have hereto affiXed my signature in the presence of tWo Witnesses.
