SHEET-METAL PACKING BAND.
Application lcd August 28, 1925. Serial No. 53,125.
The invention relates to bands for packing metal sheets, or similar products, for shipment in freight cars.
The usual practice of shipping metal I sheets consists in placing the sheets in packs orpiles in the corner portions of a freight car, each pack weighing substantially five tons.
` In order` to prevent the packs of sheets from shifting within the car, each pack is usually stayed by means of wooden railsl or strips, attached to the floor and .walls of the car by means of large nails or spikes.
It frequently happens however, that the motion of the train and the frequent sudden stopping and starting of the same, `caused by thecoupling and uncoupling ofcars, ordinarily necessary in the operation of freight trains, loosens these spikes from the walls and floor of the car, permitting the packs of sheets to shift their position, striking the side and-end walls of the car and considerably dama-ging the interior of the car, and
also injuring the sheets. i .n
The object of the present invention is to provide a metal band arranged to be bound around a packy of sheets and held against movement upon the floor;` and means may'be provided upon the band for engagement wi th the floor of the car whereby the weight of the pack holds the band against movement upon the floor and the band itself holds the pack of sheets against movements.
The above and other objects may be at tained by constructing the improved packing band in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which `Figure 1 is a plan sectional view of a freight car showing packs of sheets retained in the corner portions of the car by means of the improved `packing band:
Fig. 2, a longitudinal, vertical, sectional view through a pack of sheets secured to the floor by means of the improved packing band;
` Fig. 3, a detached perspective view of the packing band; u
Fig. 4, an enlarged fragmentary perspective View of al portion of the bottom of the band .showing the tangs for engagement `with the car floor;
Fig. 5, a perspective view of a slightly modiied form of packing band adapted to be nailed to the car floor;
Fig. 6, a longitudinal, sectional view of a pack of sheets secured by means of a modified form of packing band comprising end rails connected together by the rods above and below the pack, and
Fig. 7, a perspective view of this modified form of band.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings.
A'freight car is conventionally shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, comprising the floor 1, end walls 2 and side walls 3, which may be provided wit-h the usual door openings 4, arranged to be normally closed by the sliding` doors 5. y V A pack of sheets, indicated generally at 6, and weighing substantially 5 tons, is located upon each corner portion of the car floor` being .spaced from the end and side walls of the car.
For the purpose of preventing the packs of sheetsfrom shifting endwise, and damaging the end walls of the car and the ends of the sheets, each pack may be bound longitudinally by one or more sheet metal bands 7, 7a or 7b. In placing the packs in position within the corner portionsof the car, these metal bands are iirst placed upon the car floor, with one end portion thereof near the end wall of the car extending upward as indicated by broken lines in Fi 3 and 5, the other end being flat upon the Hoor. In using the bands 7'"L the bottom portion 8 of the same should first be attached to the floor by nails or spikes driven through the apertures 9 therein.
The pack of sheets is then placed upon the band and if it is desired to keep the ends of the pack squarely lined up wooden strips 10, channel irons or the like may be placed at each end of the pack and the band bent around the saineand over the top of the pack, the flanged ends 11 of the band being connected together as' by the `clamping bolts 12.
The tangs 13, upon the bottom of the band, shown in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive, will be imbedded in the car floor, by the weight of the pack, as shown in Fig. 2.
The strips 10 if used as shown in Fig. 2v -will keep the ends of the pack squarely lined up,yand the weight of the pack itself will holdthe band or bands against move ment upon the floor While the band being tightly bound around the pack prevents any undue shifting of the sheets, except in a -slight manner such as indicated in broken upon the floor, While only alimited mcve-' ment of the sheets is permitted Within the bands.
This movement of the sheets, Within the bands, is shown in broken lines in Figs. 2 and 6, and may take place upon sudden starting or stopping of the car, the binding of the sheets together, by the bands, together with the Weight of the sheets, producing friction between the sheets, which will absorb the shock incident to starting or stopping of the car, the bands acting in th-e nature of a shock absorber.
1n Figures 6 and 7, is shown another modication of the packing band, in which the same is formed of the end members 16, which may be of channel iron or other form, and which are connected together below and above the pack, by the tie rods 17.
When using this form of band, the end members 16 are connected together by the ylower tie rod, and the sheets placed upon the` same, between the end members, after which the upper tie bar 1s .placed over the top ofthe pack, and connected to the upper end portions of the end members, clamping the same tightly against the ends of the y pack.
Blocks 18 may then be placed upon the floor, against each end of the pack, and nailed in position, holding the pack against movement upon the floor, and permitting the sheets of the pack to have only the limited movement, .Within the bands, shown in broken lines in Fig. 6, the action of this form of band being the same as those above de scribed.
