As the members 11 and 3 assume parallel positions when the device is placed in position, the teeth '5 and 12 of said members will be forced into the walls 1 of the car, and the device will engage the boxes 1 or be positioned where they will prevent slidingof the boxes or tilting of the stacks incident to jar .dllll'".

After the mem bers 11 and 3 assume the proper positions as shown in Figures 1 and 2, pin leis passed through the aperture-15 in the'plate Sifor holding the member 11 in close engagement withthe flange 4 of the member'3, and as the same are 'in close engagement it isobvious that the. teeth lwillbe maintained in interengagement' when'the brace is in position.
When it is desired toremove the brace, it
will only be necessaryv to remove thepin 14 and move the member 11 laterally outwardly until it engages the downwardly extending finger =13, and at which time the teeth will be out of interengagement and. the bar 11 can be moved inwardly, or if it is desired to extend the bar 11, it will only be necessary to 1 move said bar outwardly and then inwardly for interengaging theproper teeth.
' From the aboveitwill be seen that abrace isflprovided for loacls'within freight cars, which brace may be easily and-quicklyplaced in position or removed, thereby allowing the same to be utilizedirom time to time during the loading of a car;- Althoughone brass is shown, it is-obvious anynumber may be use according to the nature of the load.
The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is 1.
