This'invention relates to new and useful improvements in rallway rolling stockand particularly to the underframe construction of tank cars, locomotive tenders-and the like.
.According toour construction, the water and/or fuel tank is a preferably cylindrical.
structure having a thickened curved bottom plate which not only forms aportion of the cylindrical wall but constitutes the main framing member of the car. This bottom plate is curved to assist it in resisting longitudinal stresses and is sufficiently heavyto form the underframe, to which the centering casting, the air brake cylinder supports, the draft and buffer castings and other underframing fittings are all secured. This heavy curved bottom plate thus constitutes not only the whole under frame. of the'car but forms an integral partof the tank. p r
In the drawings'which illustrate one embodiment of our invention, 7
Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation ofa tender constructed according to our inven tion. 7
Figure 2 is a partial plan View of the bottom plate of the tank or frame'of thetender at the rear thereof.
Figure 3 is, a view similar to Fig. 2at the front of the frame.
Figure 4 is a partial rear end view of the tender.
Figure 5 is a part sectional end View taken on the line 55 Figure 2. I I
Figure 6 is a part sectional end View of'the tender frame showing the air brake cylinder support.
Figure 7 is a part sectional end elevation taken on the line 7 -7 Figure 3.
Figure 8 is apart sectional end elevation taken on the line 8-8 Figure 3.
- Referring more particularly tothe drawings 11 designates the water and fuel tank which is of substantiallycylindrical form having three spaced water filling openings 12 on the top thereof. Formed in the front end v 13 the rear end of which slopes downwardly Suitable reinforcing I around theshellat spaced intervals. The
. bottom plate '15, of the, tank constitutes the underframe of the tender and extendsthe full length and beyond the end plates, sai d platebeingicurved to form part of the cylindricaltank. It will be observedthat this framing plate is made comparatively thick and is curved to give it added strength, as it is adapted to ta e thev placeof the usual heavy framing members need in the construc tion of tenders Secured to the bottom plate sh'own)." Thi' s bearing has a' shoulder 26 against whichthe end "of the plate15 bears,' to transfer the" load dire'ctlto the'plate. A
combined draw bar and safety bar bearing 22 is secured to the plate 15 at thefront end of thetender This bearing 22 has also a shoulder 27 which butts against the end of the plate 15 in proximity thereto to directly transfer any for'cestoithe platefwhich are exerted on thebearingi Thisbearin'g' may have cast or formed integral therewith the water outlet or'feedpipef23. j Suitable handrailings and'platforms 24 and 25 are provided around the topoffthe'ten der to allow easy access to V the various parts of the tank. The'plates 15 of the superstructure of the tank are see" cured to the framing plate 15 in anyrsuitable manner." l
It will be readily seen that by constructing the tender in the manner herein described unnecessary weight is avoided lwithout sacribeing made comparativelythick dispenses with theyheavy botom framing members nowin" use, The. tender may. be very economi cally manufactured and by attaching'the g bearings for the draw bar and safety bar; the
