METAL can END.
Application flied March 12, 1926. Serial No. 94,121.
My invention relates to metal car bodies wherein the car body end is made up of an assemblage of channel bars or members 1101'].- zontally disposed and lying in contact with 6 one another by their flanges the latter portions of said channel members being suitably fastened together preferably by an electric weld.
The invention is particularlyuseful for 10 car bodies in which the sides consist of metal plates assembled and fastened together in any desired manner but may also be em ployed for car bodies in which the s de is otherwise constructed or in which a. suitable corner post is provided to which the sides and ends are suitably anchored.
My invention is particularly useful in connection with cars the sides of which comprise metal plates inasmuch as it provides for the direct attachment of an integral part of the end members to the metal car side.
In carrying out my invention 1 provide channel bars or members of a length greater than the width of the car end and I divide the flanges of the said channel members at a suitable point near the ends of said members coinciding with the corner of the car body when the parts are assembled and then bent. The bent web portion of the channel at the end thereof is attached either to the car side or corner post. The flanges of the web part are also bent around being thus brought into substantial coincidence with the side of the car and preferably welded or secured togetherto aid in the desired reinforcement of the car body corner.
In carrying out my invention I prefer to fill in the space left by the division of the flanges withsuitable filler plates or members fastened to said flanges and aiding in the reinforcement at the corner of the car body all as will be hereinafter described in connection with the drawings wherein:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section through a por' 5 tion of the car end on the line 1-1 Fig. 3.
Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken at right angles to Fig. l and on the line 2-2 Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.. 1
Fig. t is a horizontal longitudinal section of one of. the flanged members with a flange thereof divided near the end ofthe bar or member to permit the end of the member to be bent into position shown in Fig. 5.
Fig. 5 is similar to Fig. but showing the end member bent.
Fig. 6 shows a chamfer or tapering of the flange on the bent portion to remove the sharp corner.
Fig. 7 illustrates a result of making the out in one flange at right angles to the plane of the web instead of at an obtuseangle.
Fig. 8 shows the same parts with the cornor. chamfered or cut away.
Figs. 9 and 10 illustrate shapes of insert plates employed at the corner where two of the channel members lie one upon the other.
Fig. '11 shows the corner with said pieces in place, the flanges being shown in plan and looking in the direction of the top arlow Fig. 13.
Fig. 12 is a similar view of said parts from the reverse side or looking in the direction of the lower arrow Fig. 13.
Fig. 13 an edge view of said parts.
Each of the superposed channel members or bars constituting the end of the car has the usual web part 1 and flanges 2 each indicated in the various figures.
These lllellhbfil'S extend transversely of the car body and are secured together by their superposed flanges at any desired number of. points preferably by electric welds one of which is indicated at 3. A metal sill 4 of the car, formed also as a channel member or beam and to a flange of. which the flange of. the lower channel member constituting the end maybe secured by welds or rivets as in-' dicated at a. Anietal plate of the car side is indicated at 5 while 6 indicates a metal floor of the car upturned at an edge 6 for attachment as indicated at 7 to the bent around web of the car end at the corner of the body and also if desired and as shown to the plate 5 forming a part of the car side. 'lransversely extending reinforcing angle bar 9 is secured at the end of the car by one leg namely its horizontal to the endof the car floor as indicated at 10, while its other 100 or upright leg is suitably riveted, bolted or fastened to the web of the bottom channel member constituting the car end asillustrated at 10 Figs. 1 and 2. The channel bars employed for the car endare of suitable l length to permit the arm being bentto ex tend around on to the sides of the car. My invention may be and preferably is carried out by dividing one flange of each channel member on the diagonal or obtuse line 11 as no shown in Fig. i and the other flange on a line which forms a right angle or different angle with the web part, the points of intersection of said dividing lines with the web part being in the same vertical line and being also at a point in the web which will coincide practically with the corner of the car body when the channels are assembled alter bending their ends because the web part will assume the positions indicated in the Figs. 5, t). 'T, 53. l1 and 12. lVhen the channels are so bent and assembled they may be secured by their web parts to the side or other member of the car body at or near the corners of said body by welds, rivets or otherwise as indicated at T, 7. Also the channels are so asscnibled in superposed relation that the flange on the edge of one channel divided and bent as indicated in Fig. 5 will engage and be SUPClPUSGtl upon the flange on the oppo ite edge of another channel divided and bent as indicated in Fig. 7.
To till the opening at the corner and make a flush surface at this hoint I provide a plate 1;! for insertion in the angular opening in the lower flange of the two superposed channel members said opening being of the form indicated in Fig. Said plate rests upon the flange at the upper side of the lower ot the two superposed channel men hers and upon the portion thereof projecting from the car end, and is secured thereto by riveting or otherwise as .indicated at Ll Fig. ll. This gives a flush surface on the top ol the flange extending from the our end to the portion of the flange on the our side while the portion of said plate 12 extending beyond the edge of the flange cut as indicated in Fig. T in the upper flange ol the lower channel bar aflords a support for an insert; or channel plate 13, Fig. 10, adapted to till the rectangular opening such as shown in T and thereby give a flush surface at; the lower side of the superposed flanges at the corner in an obvious manner.
The riveting or other means for securing the tiller l t to the tiller 12 is indicated at 15, Fig. l l. 'lhe edges of the plate 13 when in position and the edges ol' the opening in the flange which it tills out after the cutting and bending of the same as indicated in Fig. 7 are indi ated by the two dotted lines in Fig. ll. Said plate 13 is shown in full line in Fig. 12 while the edges ol the superposed plate of the form shown in Fig. 9 are indicated by the dotted lines in said Fig. 12. The plate 1;) like the plate 12 when in position has its surface flush with the surface of the flange part of the two portions of: the bent channel bar projecting respectively from the plane of the car end and of the our side.
As will be seen not only do I utilize a portion of the web oi the channels forming the ear end or a web integral with said portions as a means for attaching or securing the end channels in position in the complete car body but Furthermore by cutting the flanges at the opposite sides of each channel bar respcctively at dili'erent angles so that when two channel bars are superposed a portion of the flange ol one bar will be exposed in the opening made by cutting and bending the flange ot' the other bar 1 provide for inserting and tixedly securing insert plates to till out the openings at the corners thus giving a flush surface at these points.
I claim:
