Application iedmi iist, 5, 192s. re; at. 48,423.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SV'EN a citizen of the United States, and agresident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mountings-for Brake Gears, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same.
My present invention relates to a means for mounting a gearing for operating a brake mechanism on a railway car, and the primary object is to provide a mounting that is strong and durable and which is capable of withstanding the rough usage to which railway cars, especially freight-cars, are subjected. It is also an object to provide a structure that may be readily secured to the car sill without the use of special tools.
I prefer to carry out my invention and accomplish the several objects in substantially the following manner, reference being now made to the accompanying drawings that form a part of this specification.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a top plan of a portion of a car end-sill showing my invention installed the sill thereon.
Figure 2 is a front elevation of and my gear mounting.
Figure 3 is an end'view of the structure shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The drawings illustrate a typical or preferred embodiment of my invention and I have employed similar reference characters to designate like parts wherever the same appear throughout the several views of the drawings. i
The end-sill 5 of the car or underframe is a channel beam in the present instance that is positioned with its web vertical and with its upper and lower flanges 6 and 7,-
respectively, extended inwardly so that a smooth surface is presented at the end of the car. The mounting in the present instance is adapted to support and position the brake operating gearing in a plane above the upper flange-6 of the end-sill as seen in Figures 2 and-3; This gearing is preferably of, the type disclosed in U. S. Patent No. 1,508,564, issued September 16th,
1924, to Fred Mathews. The two gear ele-v Inents, shown on dotted lines in the draw- JULIUs STBID,"
' ingsare mounted to rotate between top and 1 bottom castings, of themonnting, the former of which is of invertedU-shape, (Fig-2), there being side flanges8 and 9 depending fromfthe elongated horizontal connecting plate 10. The, bottom'casting comprises a horizontal plate 11 one end of which is pro- Y vided with an upstanding flange 12 that fits inside thefiange 9 of the top casting and bolted or riveted thereto. Immediate its ends the plate 11 has an upwardly extending portion 13 to the upper end of which is connected the shelf of elevated portion 14 that extends to the opposite end of the plate 11, while at the end of the shelf there is an upstanding flange 15, positioned inside of H and, bolted or riveted to the depending flange 8 of the top casting. I
I The irregularly shaped lugs 16. and 17 project laterally in a horizontal direction from the longitudinal edge of the bottom casting nearest the end sill and these lugs are in the same horizontal plane with each.
other so that they rest upon the upper surface of thetop flange 6 of the end-sill and support the top and bottom castings and inci ent the winding of the brake chain, is
longitudinally of the car and-inside of the each other and at right-angle to lugs 16 and the gearing contained therein. As the pull,
17 so that they are positioned flat against the outer surface of the web 5 of the end sill to which they are bolted or riveted. As will be seen in Figs. 1 and 2 the vertical reinforcing lugs 18 and 19 are located intermediate the lugs 16 and 17 and lug 18 is in alinement, longitudinally of the car, with the gear winding shaft 22, while the lug 19 similarly alines with the chain winding drum 23' of the gearing so that the pull or stress exerted b bedirected stralght to the respective bracing lugs. e o
' What I claim as new is 1. The combination with an angular end sill of a railway car, of a brake gear mount-V ing device comprising an inverted U-shaped top casting, a bottom casting having flanged ends secured to the top casting said bottom zontal portion of said end sill whereby to" support the brake gearing above the end sill, and the other lug or lugs engaging and secured to the vertical portion of the end sill whereby to brace the structure against stress longitudinallyofthe car. V
2, The. combination with the end sill of a railway car,v of a brake; gear mounting; device oneof the members. of which isfprovided: withspaced horizontal: lugs that rests upon the upper edge of, the end sill, and, de-. pendlng vertical lugs, intermediate said first mentioned lugs, that are secured to a vertical face of the end sill 3. A brake gear mounting device comprising a top casting and a bottom casting secured thereto, said bottomcastingzrprovi-cled'. with a raised shelf, vertical and horizontal lugs extending from said shelf portion at right angles to each other, and a plurality ofclugs extending from the remaining portion of said bottom casting also at right angles to each other,, whereby to provide supporting and reln-forclng means for said mounting;
