Application filed April 1, 1927. Serial No. 180,201.
One object of our invention is to increase ing the tender in two parts connected b an articulated joint and supported upon t ree trucks, the central truck being located at the point between the two parts and carrying the articulated joint.
A further object of the invention 1s to make the articulated joint in such manner that the two-sections of the joint will rest upon a centre bearing plate of the central truck, the parts being so arranged that the rear part of the tender can be acked-up so that the section of the joint carried by said part will clear theother'part, and the centre caring plate of the truck, as well as the locomotive with the forward part of the tender mounted on two trucks, can be moved away from the jacked-up rear part.
The inventionalso relates to other details of construction described hereinafter.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side view of our improved articulated locomotive tender, showing the trucks in outline;
Fig. 2 is a plan view; I
Fig. 3 is a plan View of the articulated joint; V
Fig. 1 is a transverse sectional view of the joint on; the line 4- 1, Fig. 3
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional View on the line 5-5, Fig. 3;
Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view on the line 6-6, Fig. 3;
Fig. 7 is a sect1onal plan View on the line l7, Fig. 5;- and Fig. 8 is a sectional plan view on the line 8-8, Fig. 1, showing the flexible enclosing side plates between thetwo parts of the tender.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, 1 is the front part of the locomotive tender, and 2 is the rear part, both parts being substantially the same length in the present instance. The front part of the tender not only has the usual water space but also has the fuel space shown at 3. The part 1 has a cylindrical fillin opening 4 closed by a suita le cover, and t e part 2 has an'elongated fillmgopem ing 5 closed by an elongated cover.
The front part in the resent instance has a fixed enclosing side p ate 6 at each side, and the rear part 2 has a lunged side plate 7 at each side which rests back of the plate 6 as shown in Fig. 8. The plates 7 are held yieldingly against the plates 6 by springs 8 which are mounted on telescopic rods 9 pivoted to the end of the rear part of the tender and to the plates 7, so that when the tender is passing around a curve, the plates '3' will yield, but at all times closing the space bet-ween the two parts of the tender.
Hinged to one part is a bridge plate 10, the
free end of which rests upon the other part as shown in Fig. 1.
The tender is mounted upon three trucks,
the wheel base of the centre truck being" longer than those of the end trucks. In the present instance, the end trucks 1111 are four-wheel trucks of any approved design,.
while the central truck 12 is a six-wheel truck having a'centre bearing plate 13, this plate being mounted on the truck bolster 14 in the usual manner. The centre plate has a dependin flange 15 which extends over each side 0 the bolster, and has an annular flange 16 projecting upwards, forming a recess in which are located the two sectlons 17 and 18 of the articulated joint, the sections resting upon thefcentre plate within the flange 16 as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
The section 17, which is attached to the forward part oi the tender, is in the form or" a ring 19, and extendingfirom the 'base of the rin is an inner flange 20 and an outer flange 1. The flanges terminate in ribs which extend to the front plate, 22 of the section 1'2. This front plate extends across the end of the bod portion 23 of the front section of the-ten er. At the back of the ring 19 are diagonal ribs whichextend to and brace the plate 24 which extends under the end of the body portion as shown in Fig. 5, making a very substantial'coupling member of the joint that fits within the flangeof the truck centre plate.
T c section 18 of the joint has an end plate 25 which extends across the body portion 26 of the rear section of'the tender and a plate 27 whichextendsunder the body portion 26 as shown in Fig. 5. These two portions 25 and 27 of the section 18 form a substantial support- .for the pin portion" ioa Within the pin portion 28 are reinforcing ribs 30. The pin section, the centre plate, and the bolster of the truck each has a hole for the detachable pivot pin 31 having a head that rests upon the pin portion 28.
By this construction, both sections of the coupling are free to turn on the centre plate of the central truck, and the pin portion 28 of the rear section of the joint is free to turn within the ring portion 19 of the front section of the joint.
The two front plates 22 and 25 extend a considerable distance beyond the coupling at each side as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, forming the supports for the side bearing brackets 32 and 33, respectively. These brackets have foot plates 34 and 35 which rest upon the side bearing plates 36 carried by the bolster 12. In the present instance, the side bearing plates are integral with the bolster.
Each foot plate is preferably provided with a hard metal wear plate 37 and the side bearing plates with wear plates 38. The side bearing plates 36 are flanged as at 39 and are each divided into two sections by a rib 40. The wear plates 38 are shaped to fit within the spaces enclosed by the flanges and ribs, each foot late being directly above an individual side earing wear plate.
The tanks of the two parts 1 and 2 of the tender are connected by a coupling hose 41. This hose is attached to valve casings 42 as shown in Fig. 1. These valve casings communicate with the bottom of each tank, and the valves in the casings can be readily opened or closed as desired.
By the above construction, the capacity of the locomotive tender is greatly increased, and being made in two parts with an articulated joint, the tender will pass around ordinary curves. And by mounting the tender on three trucks, and locating the joint upon the central truck which has an extended wheel base, a very substantial jointis made. Furthermore, by locating the joint member of the rear part of the tender within the joint member of the front part, the rear part can be jacked-up and the front part removed with the locomotive, the central truck supportin the rear of the forward part.
By flanging the side bearing plates 36 as shown, the foot plates rest in the pockets formed by the flanges. The flanges prevent any excess movement of the two sections of the tender, should the pin section 18 of the joint break or become defective.
