Description
c., l, i929. J. F. ocoNNoR JOURNAL BOX MOUNTING Filed Aug. 30, 1926 25H2 Illy' Patented Oct. 1, 1929 JOHN F. OCONNOR, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO W. H. MINER, INC., OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION F DELAWARE JOURNAL-BOX MOUNTING Application filed August 30, 1926. Serial No. 132,483.
This invention relates to journal box mountings.
An object of the invention is to provide a journal box mounting wherein cushioning means are interposed between the journal box proper, and the truck members which bear thereon, for absorbing the vibration between the parts, and for resiliently maintaining the brass in more uniform contact with the journal.
A more particular object of the invention 1s to provide a journal box mounting used in connection with the usual pedestal type of truck, wherein the liners for the box are provided with a connecting portion adapted to bear upon a cushioning element which is supported upon the top of the journal box, the connecting portion of said liner being provided with a seating rib upon which one end zo of the equalizer bar of the truck bears.
Other and further objects of the invention will more clearly appear from the description and claims hereinafter following.
Referring to the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1eis a vertical longitudinal sectional view through a journal box and associated parts, showing the invention employed in connection therewith. Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view of the invention 3o substantially on the line 2-2 of Figure l. And Figure 3 is a top plan view of a portion of a pedestal truckv frame, and showing the invention in position with respect thereto.
As shown in the drawings, 1() represents a journal box of a type commonly used in passenger car equipment in connection with trucks of the pedestal type, said-box having the usual side, bottom and end walls, and a top wall of a character somewhat different from that usually7 provided, and which forms part of the invention, as hereinafter more fully pointed out. The usual journal 12 projects into the box 10, and interposed between the lower surface of the top wall l1 of the journal box is the usual wedge 13, the brass 14, and lining metal of babbitt shown at 15.
The side walls 16-16 of the journal box proper are provided with the usual spaced anges 17--17 which are adapted to be disposed at opposite sides of the pedestals 118-118, as shown in Figure 3. The flanges 17-17 extend across the top wall 11 of the journal box to provide portions 18-18, the
top wall of the journal box, unlike that of the ordinary types, being flat throughout the extent thereof between the portions l18-18 of the flanges 17-17, the flat top portion of the journal box between the flange portions 18-18 providing a seat for a block'or pad of rubber 19, or other suitable cushioning means.
Between the side walls of the journal box 10 and the pedestals 11S-118 are interposed liners 20-20, said liners being connected at one set of ends to provide a horizontally extending cross piece 21, the under surface of which bears upon the cushioning element 19 as shown, there being a plurality of transversely extending channels or recesses indicated at 22 in the under surface of the cross piece 21 to permit the flow of the rubber during operation. The upper surface of the cross piece 21 is provided with a rib 23 which extends longitudinally of the journal box, and which forms a seat for the reception of the end of the usual equalizer bar 24, said bar being provided with a groove which accommodates the rib 23.
By this arrangement, the4 usual steel liners which are employed between the journal box and pedestals of the truck are employed to provide a better wearing combination. The liners vform an integral part of the bearing slate, resiliently supported upon the top of the journal box, thereby producing a construction, wherein the vibration is absorbed andnoise eliminated, and the bearing brass of t-he journal box is resiliently held 1n contact with the journal, and thereby prevents tilting, and the admission of foreign matter between the journal and brass.
While I have herein ushown and described what I consider the preferred manner of carrying out the invention, the same is merely illustrative, and I contemplate all changes C and modifications which come within the scope of the claims appended hereto.
I claim: 1. In a journalbox arrangement, the combination with the pedestals of aVV truck, of a journal box disposed between said pedestals; liners at opposite sides of said journal box and interposed between the box and said pedestals, said liners having a connecting portion provided with an equalizer seat; and cushioning means interposed between said journal box and the connecting portion of said liners.
2. `In a journal box arrangement, the combination with the pedestals of a truck, of a journal box disposed between said pedestals; liners at opposite sides of said journal box and interposed between the box and said pedestals, said liners having a connecting portion provided with an equalizer seat; and cushioning means interposed between said journal box and the connecting portion of said liners, said connecting portion having a bearing surface provided with a plurality of spaced recesses. y
3. In a journal box mounting, the combination with pedestal jaws of a pedestal truck; of a journal box provided with spaced flanges adapted for the reception of said jaws, said flanges extending in spaced relation across the top wall of said journal box; cushioning means disposed upon said top wall between said flanges; liners interposed between the sides of said walls of said journal box and the pedestal jaws, end portions of said liners being connected to provide a portion extending across the top wall of said journal box and adapted to bear upon said cushioning means, said connecting portion providing a seat for bearingportions of a truck.
4. In a journal box Inounting,the combination with truck pedestals; of a journal box slidably mounted in said pedestals; liners interposed between the sides of said journal box `and said pedestals, said liners having a connecting portion at their upper ends; cushioning means interposed between the. top of the journal box and the connecting-portion of said liners; and an equalizer bar having one end bearing on said connecting portion 'orl transmitting the weight to saidjournal box.
lIn witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 24th day of August, 1926.
