TENDER Filed Janl1` 1929 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented Oct. 8, 1929 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE TENDER Application tiled January 117 1929.
The object of my invention is to make the body of a locomotive tender in a single casting. bThis object I attain in the following manner, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side view of the body of a locomotive tender illustratin g my invention;
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view;
Fig. 3 is a plan View;
Fig. 4 is atransverse sectional view on the line 4 4, Fig. 2; and
Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional View on the line 5-5, Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings, the cast metal body of the tender 'consists of' a base 1, having a central longitudinal beam 2, in the present instance 0f the box type, rectangular in cross-section.v Extending from each side of the beam are the bottom plates 3 of the tender. These bottom plates extend to the sides of the tender and connect with the side walls 4. The end walls 5-5"L of the tender are formed integral with the ends of the base 1 and connect with the side walls 4.
The tender is made as usual in two sections, the water section A and fuel section B. A roof 6 extends over the entire water section A and is made integral with the side and end walls 4 and .r1-5a.
The longitudinal partition walls 7 and the transverse partition walls 8, which sepa-rate the water section A from the fuel section B, are cast integral with the balance of the structure, as well as the inclined extensions 7a and 8a of the partition plates 7 and 8.
The longitudinal dash plates 9 and the transverse dash plate 10 which are spaced a given distance apart are an integral part of the structure.
Integral reinforcing ribs 11 project into the water section A from the side walls 4 as shown in Fig. 3.
When a mechanical Stoker is not used, then the inclined end partition wall 8a may extend to the bottom of the fuel section B. When a stoker is used, the bottom portion of the fuel Chamber is made as shown in Fig. 5. The rails 12 for the stoker and the plate 13 are cast integral with the structure.
I preferably form the deck support 14 at Serial No. 331,838.
the forward end of the tender, as well as the coupling head 15 at that end, integral with the body of the tender.
The treads 16 atv the rear of the tender body, as well as the steps 17 and 18 at each end of the tender, are preferably made integral with the body.
On the underside of the tender body are the centre bearings 19-19 and a brake cylinder 20. These parts may be cast integral with the body or made separate, as desired.
Connecting the base 1 with the roof 6 is an inclined water scoop pipe 21, which is an integral portion of the body and forms a substantial brace for the structure. ,This scoop pipe 2l communicates with the tank funnel 22 which opens into the water section A of the tender, and through which the water supply is admitted.v The tank funnel is preferably made of sufficient size to form a manhole by which access can be had to the interior of the water section of the tender.
Preferably cast integral with the body are drain pipes 24 which are located at the rear end of the tender and nearreach side thereof, to carry off any water that may accumulate on the roof 6, as in this instance the side walls and rear end wall extend above the roof as shown.
The roof preferably extends over the entire water section as shown,'but in some instances a large opening may be formed in the roof between the back plate 8 of the fuel section and the water scoop pipe 21, as shown by dot-and-dash lines, Fig. 8. This opening may be closed by `a suitable cover. This construction will allow free aceess to the interior of the water section.
The cast structure may be provided with reinforcing members at any point desired.
I claim:
1. A locomotive tender body in the form of an integral casting.
2. A locomotivev tender body, consisting of a base; side walls; and end walls, in the form of an integral casting.
3. A locomotive tender body, consistin of a base; side walls; end walls; and a roo in the form of an integral casting.
4. A locomotive tender body, consisting of e base; side and end Walls; s, roof; and in; clined Walls separating the fuel section from the water section, in the form of en integral casting.
5. A locomotive tender body, consisting or a base; sides; ends; a roof; and e, Water scoop pipe extending from the base to the roof9 the whole being in the form of en integral. cestu 1n A locomotive tender body, consisting ol a base; side Walls; end Wells; partition Walls separating the Water section from the fuel section of the tender; and Stoker rails on the "fuel side oit" the partitions, the Whole being in the form of an integral casting.
7. A locomotive tender body, having a Water section and a fuel section; L base; side Walls; end walls; partition plates; and longitudinal and transverse dash plates in the Water section, the Whole being,` yformedin a single casting.
8. A locomotive tender, having s cest metal base; and e brake cylinder depending from the underside of the base and cast integral with the base.
