This invention relates to railway .freight cars andhas for an object the provision of a sidewall construction for such cars, which comprises a metallic framing that isfconnected with the floor members or transverse underframing members of the car by means of a gusset plate or plates, and also! comprises non-metallic side sheathing which is so disposed and secured to the framing that it may be removed or replaced without dis-- turbing the framing connectionsor the connections between theframi lg and the gusset plate or plates. 1 e 1 Another object of the invention is; to pro vide a composite side wall. construction for railway freight car, in which theframing is metallic having non-metallic sheathing removably secured thereto, suchframing eifecting a splice-joint or jointsbetwcen the ends of the non-metallic sheathing intermediate the ends of the car.
1 These and other objects be apparen from the followingdescription.
Referring to the drawings in :which like line 4.-4 of.Fig.'2; and Fig. .5 is a sectional view taken onthe line 55-of Fig. 3, the side sheathing being shown- Fig. 6 is a cross sectional view similar to Fig. 2 and showing a inodifiedl framing construction;
Fig. 7 is an enlarged sectional view of aportion of the car taken on the line 77 of Fig. 6; Fig. 8 is a cross sectional view taken through a gondola car embodying the invention and Fig. 9 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the line'99 of Fig. 8.
Referring now in detail to the drawings the reference character 1 indicates a car body of the hopper type having a center sill 2, end walls 3, side walls 4, sloping end floors 5, and a transverse ridge 6. Between each of the sloping end floors and the transverse ridge, the center sill may be providedwith the usual hood 7. j
Each of the side walls 4 comprises a metallic framing 8 and a non-metallic sheathing 9 which sheathing in the present em- CAR CONSTRUCTION;
.1926. Serial No. 110, 57.
bodiment of the invention comprises plurality of longitudinally disposed boards placed edge to edge. The framing 8 is preferably of truss construction having spaced top. and bottom members 10 and 11 respectively, which are connected by vertical and )diagonal braces. At substantially the transverse center line of the car the vertical brace is in the form of-two angles 12 having their flanges 13 directed outwardly and spaced" apart and their flanges l l extending in the direction of the length of the car. The transverse ridge comprises vertically dis- 1 posed plates 15 which are suitably secured together and to the. center sill and to the bottom member 11 of the side walls.- ,This ridge also comprises ridge plates 16 which at their upper edges are secured to the-plates l5. and. slope downwardly therefrominopposite directions and at their lower ends haveydischarge' doors 17 hinged thereto. Above the top of the transverse-ridgeeach of the plates 15, infthe preferred embodiment of the invention; isin the form of an integral gusset 15mm outeredge portion of which passes through the planeof the side sheathing and between the flanges 13 of the members 12 where it is secured to the flanges 13. by rivets or other suitable-securing means. At each side of t-he ca rthe ridge plates/16 are provided with flanges l8'each of which for a portion of its length issecured to a triangle plate-19 and for the remainder'of its length is secured "to thebottoinmember 11. -Each of vthe'se plates 19 is secured to the bottom member 11 and to the flange 14;
of one of theangles 12. At each end of the side wall the vertical brace is in the form of an angle 20 and between this brace and the brace at the transverse centerline of the car the vertical braces 21 and 22 as well as the diagonals 23 and 24 are preferably H of flanged channel form. It will here be understood thatmembers of any other suitto the diagonals 23 and 2st. The top sheathing board at intervals throughout its length is secured to the top member 10 of the framing. The lowermost sheathing board is preferably secured at intervals throughout its length to the bottom member 11. The inner ends of some of the sheathing boards are secured to the flanges 18 of the ridge plates and to the plates 19 and their outer ends are secured to angular members 25 which form parts of the sloping and floors All of the sheathing boards are preferably secured to the metallic framing by bolts or other suitable removable means, thus rendering it easy to remove or replace any or all of the sheathing boards.
In Figs. 6 and 7 of the drawings a modification of the invention has been illustrated illWlllCll the gusset 15 at each side of the car is in the form of a plate 26 which is secured to the transverse ridge by rivets or other suitable means.
In Figs. 8 and 9 the invention has been shown embodied in a gondola ear and has a gusset member 27 secured to the side framing and to one of the transverse floor or under-frame members 28.
It will here be noted that, in a car constructed in accordance with the invention, the sheathing can be removed and replaced without in any way disturbing the connections between any of the metallic framing members.
Having thus described the invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a car wall, a metallic framing, a member secured to said framing and extending inwardly through the plane of said wall, and sheathing secured to said framing independent of said member.
2. In acar, a side wall, a metallic framing for said wall, side sheathing extending from each end of the ear to points adjacent the transverse center line of the car and removably secured to said framing, and a member secured to said framing and extending inwardly between the adjacent ends of said sheathing.
3. A railway metallic framing and removable sheathing, spaced vertical members forming a part of said framing, and a gusset member secured to said vertical members and extending through the plane of said sheathing.
4. In a car, a side wall comprising a metallic training and sheathing removably secured to said framing, said framing comprising spaced top and bottom members and vertical members connecting said top and bottom members, and a gusset member secured to said vertical members and extending inwardly through the plane of said sheathing.
5. In a car, a side wall comprising a metallic framing and sheathing ren'iovably secured to said framing, said framing comprising spaced top and bottom members, vertical members connecting said top and bottom members, plates connecting said vertical members and bottom member, sloping floor plates connected with said plates, and a gusset member secured to said vertical members and connected with said sloping Iioor plates, said gusset member extending through the plane of said sheathing.
(i. In a car body, a side wall framing comprising spaced top and bottom members,
members connecting said top and bottom members, sheathing extending from each end of said body and terminating short of the transverse center line of said body, a transverse floor member, a gusset member secured to said connecting membersand to said floor member, said gusset member passing between car side wall comprising a
