lvide a reinforcing and protective means for the sides of the car. This is of particular merit when it is borne in mind when loading material, such as iron billets, that they are sometimes thrown against the sides of the car with excessive force, .and furthermore, when magnets are employed for handling billets and the like, the magnet itself may swing against the sides of the car withr great force.
Some of the forms which our invention may take are shown in the accompanying drawing wherein Fig. 1 is a transverse sectional view, in elevation, kof substantially one-half of a car embodying our invention; Fig. 2 is a view, looking from the left of Fig. 1, with the side plates of the car removed; Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view of a portion of the device of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is aV sectional view taken on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1, with the bottom sheets omitted, and Fig. 5 is a view similar to that of Fig. 3 but showing a modified form of structure.
The car is provided with a bolster 6, center sill 7 botto-m sheets 8 and side sheets 9 of somewhat the usual construction. The side sheets 9 are supported from the bolster 6 by means of Z-bars 10, each having one of its flanges secured to the side sheets 9 as ,shown in Fig. 4, and the other flange secured to a supplementary side plate 1l, the
v'flovver fp ortioifs i-ffth'e icbeig-proviaa *aa-ae; the' baise-e1- The Z-bars 10 serve not only as supports for the inside plates 11, but also function as ordinary car stakes to brace the sides of the car.
Referring to Fig. 5, the top rail 13V as a 'distinct element is dispensed with and the side sheet 9n is provided with a horizontally disposed flange 13t at its yupper end. Furthermore the inside sheet 11:t corresponding to the side plate 11 of Fig. 1 is of slightly different form and the sti'ening members 15 of Fig. 1 are dispensed with. to permit the attachment of the sheet 11 to the side sheet 9, perforations 16 are provided in the side sheet 9a at points opposite to where the rivets 14a 'are to be placed. These openings permit the insertion of a tool for supporting the inner end of the rivetl when it is being upset, as well asameans for Ventilating the Jspace between the sheets 9 and 11, as will hereinafter appear.
ByI reference to Figs. 1 and 2, it will be seen that the bottom sheets 8 extend only to a point below the auxiliary sheets 11, leaving the space between the sheets 11 and 9 clear, except for the bars 10 that are distributed at intervals along the sides of the car. This open space permits air to circulate, and thereby vserves as an additional means by which the outside sheets 9 are protected from the heat. If desired, openings may also be provided at the upper ends of the spaces between the sheets9 and 11, in a man,` ner similar to that shown in Fig. 5, thus permitting air to circulate more freely between the sheets 9 and 11.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that the outside sheet 9 is protected against damage by iron bars thrown into the car and also from the effects of heat from In orderl the hot iron billets, ashes and the like, in addition to Which additional strengthening means are provided for the car. Y. y
It will be apparent that various changes in ldetail and general arrangement may be made Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the accompanying claims.
7e claim as our invention:
l. The combination with acar provided with a side sheet, of an auxiliary inside sheet, means Jfor mounting said inside sheet in spaced relation to said side sheet, and a top rail disposed above one of said sheets and mounted in fixed relation thereto.
2. The combination' with a car provided with a side sheet, of a spacermember connected thereto and projecting inwardly, and an inside sheet -disposed against the inner surface of said spacer member, the said inside sheet being inclined upwardly from the bottom oit the car.
The. combination with a ear provided iwith a bolster and a side sheet, of an inside stake member secured to said side sheet and bolster respectively, and an inside sheet disposed against the inner surface of said stake member.
4. The combination with a car provided With a side sheet and a bolster, of abar of Z-orm at its upper portion and provided with a Web at its lower portion, an inside sheet, means for securing one of the flanges of said Z-section to the side sheet, means for securing the other fiange thereof to the inside sheet, and means for securing the web portion of said bar tothe bolster.
5. The combination with a car provided with a side sheet, of an auxiliary side sheet mounted in spaced relation to said side sheet, and means for `permitting circulation of air between said side and inside sheets.
6. The combination With an open-top steel car provided with a side Wall, of an inside Wall mounted in spaced relation thereto.
In testimony whereof We, the said HARRY T. ANDERsoN, and ANDREW Ci-IRIsTIANsoN have hereunto set our hands.
