SAFETY VEHI CLE BODY Filed Feb. 16, 1927 fhmnvlor.
Patented Oct. 29, 1929 PATENT OFFICE SAMUEL M, CODE, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS SAFETY VEHICLE BODY Application filed February 1G, 1927. Serial No. 168,641.
My invention relates to improvements in safety vehicle bodies, and consists in the combinations, constructions and arrangements herein described and claimed.
An object of my invention is to provide safety vehicle bodies which are substantially lightningproof, reproof and water-tight.
A further object is to provide a ventilator with lightningproof, ireproof and Watertight cover.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this application, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal View in elevation of my invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged detail view showing the construction of the Walls and doors of the body.
Figure 2A shows the insulated bolt structure for securing the door jamb in place.
Figure 3 is an enlarged detail view of the cupola ventilator, and
Figure 4 is an enlarged detail view of the ventilator cover and seat.
In carrying out my invention I make use of an elongated body portion or shell A. As will be seen from Figure 2 I have provided an outer shell and inner lining 1 and 2, respectively. The outer shell 1 is preferably of metal, the inner lining 2 being of an electrical non-conductive material. Adjacentthe inner surface of the outer shell 1 a relatively thick sheet of asbestos 3 is provided. Adjacent the outer surface of the inner lining 2 a second sheetof asbestos 5 is placed. Between the sheets 3 and 5 I have placed a thick layer of insulating material 4 such as cork. As will be seen in Figure 2, the outer shell 1 is turned inward at port holes and doors and lapped over by the inner lining 2, secured together by insulated bolts and cemented water-tight. An insulating member 10 is secured over all joints to insure perfect electrical insulation between the outer shell and the exposed inner surface of the inner lining. At Figure 2 the port hole casing 6 is shown with asbestos tilling 8, the glass 7 is cemented into the casing 6, the insulating member 10 covers the joint of the inner lining 2 and the casing 6 and is secured against the inner side of the glass 7 for perfect insulation. At Figure 3 a cut-away view shows the interior of the cupola 13, the opening 19 has the raised rim 15 secured and the hinged cover 18 closes the opening 19, the side openings 14 are shown at Figure 1. At Figure 4 the details of the ventilator are shown with the constructions and finish of wall. The shell 1 being turned inward and lapped over by the inner lining 2 and oined water-tight. the insulating raised rim 15 is secured to the turned in portion of outer shell 1 and joined to the overlapped inner lining 2, forming a non-conductive union.
The details of the ventilator cover may be better understood by referring to Figure 4 of the drawing, the outer shell 18 preferably of metal has a sheet of asbestos 17 placed on the inner side of the shell, adjacent the inner side of the asbestos sheet 17 a lining of electric non-conductive material 16 is provided, the outer shell 18 being turned over the sheet of asbestos 17 and the inner lining 16, and being secured to the inner lining 16 in a water-tight manner, an insulating meniber 10 being placed over said union for perfect insulation.
l/Vhen the ventilator cover closes the opening 19 and comes in contact with the raised rim 15 the lining 16 makes contact and insures a non-conductive union. I-Iinges and fasteners of standard construction are provi'ded on the cover.
A cross section of the door-jamb 41 of dielectric material is illustrated at Figure 2, the door-j amb 41 being secured to the turned in portion of shell 1 and joining the inner lining 2 to insure a non-conductive union. The bolts 9 and the insulators 11 and 12 are shown in the drawing.
A windshield 22 and port holes 28 are provided for vision. The doors 20 and 21 make the body accessible to passengers. The loops 45 and 46 are provided to carry or tow it as desirable.
It is to be understood that the configuration shown in the drawing is for the purpose of illustrating the novel features, but the body may take any form and be used in the air, on the Awater or on land.
I am aware that many changes may be made and numerous details of construction may be varied without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted hereon, otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.
I claim:
1. A safety vehicle body, comprising a u shell, a cupola ventilator carried by said shell having a plurality of openings to permit air to lpass therethrough, said body comprising an outer tireproof shell and a non-conduc tive inner lining, said outer shell beingsubstantially joined to said inner lining, insulating means on inner side of said joint, a pair or" non-metallic iireproof sheets disposed between said outershell and inner lining, an insulating layer intermediate said fireproof sheets.
2. A safety vehicle body, comprising a shell, a cupola ventilator carried by said shell having a plurality of openings to permit air to pass therethrough, said body comprising an outer iireproof shell and a non-conductive 'inner-lining, a pair of non-metallic ireproof sheets disposed between said outer shell and inner lining, an insulating layer intermediate said ireproof sheets, said outer shell being turned inward at door openings and lapped over by said inner lining, a dielectric door casing secured to said turned in outer shell and joined to said inner lining 3. A safety vehicle body, comprising a shell, a cupola ventilator c arried by said shell, said body comprising an outer tireproof shell and a non-conductive inner lining, a pair of non-metallic fireproof sheets disposed betweensaid outer shell and inner lining, an insulating layer intermediatey said tireproof sheets, said outer shell being turned inward at port holes and lapped over by said. inner lining, a tireproof casing; secured to said turned in outer shell and joined to said inner lining, non-metallic iireproof packing inside said casing, a transparent member bounded by said casing, insulating means over inner edge ofsaid inner lining extending over said casing to join said transparent member.
4. A. safety vehicle body, comprising a shell, a ciipolzm'entilatorcarried by-.Sad Shell having apluralityof openings to permit air to pass therethrough, said. body having an outer fireproof shell and a non-conductive inner lining, a pair of non-metallic fireproof ysheets disposed` betweenl said outer shell and inner lining, an insulating layer` intermediate said fireproofA sheets, an opening inside said cupola ventilator having the outer bod-y shell turned inward and lapped over by saidinner lining, a dielectric riin secured to said turned in outer shell and joined to said inner lining.
