' ments of railway car doors.
An object of the invention is to construct the wall elements of railway car doors in such a manner that portions thereof will be rigidified at the point of greatest strain by meaningless corrugations of great strength and other portions of the said wall elements where the strain is not so great will be rigidi'fied by the incorporation of embossments defining descriptive characters, indicia, symbols or designating markings whereby the car may be readily identified and an advertising value derived from the use of suchembossments.
Other objects of the invention will more clearly appear from the description hereinafter following. In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Fig.1-is a side elevational View of the side door of a railway box car embodying by improved car construction. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on a line corresponding substantially to line'2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary horizontal section on line 8-3 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, I have shown my improvements as applied to the side door of a car, the framework of the door being indicated by vertical marginal members 110-110, upper horizontal marginal members 111 and lower marginal member 112. The main body of the door ineludes lower and upper panels as indicated at G and D respectively. Said lower panel C is secured to the vertical margins 110-110'as indicated at 113 and to the lower horizontal margin 112 as indicated at 114; The body of the panel is rigidified by a'series of horizon tal corrugations 115 embossed in. the plate and which extend between the vertical members 110 110. The upper panel D is secured to the respective vertical margins 110 as indicated at 116 and to the lower panel and to the upper horizontal marginal member 111 as indicated at 117 and 118 respectively. Said panel D has embossed therein the descriptive symbol 119 which is formed to resist bending of the plate on various cross-lines.
Serial The embodiment of my invention as illustrated herewith is a typical example of a. pre erred construction for the vertical wall elements of railway car doors and while I have shown the symbol in the upper portion of the panel, this arrangement may be modified in any suitable manner. The disposition of the corrugations at the lower portion of the panelling is a preferred arrangement inasmuch as the tendency to bulge is generally greater at the lower part of the car wall than at the top thereof and the series of horizontally extending corrugations provide for great strength 1 preferred manner of carrying out my inventi on, the same is merely illustrative and I contemplate all changes and modifications that come within the scope of the claims appended hereto.
'This application is a division of my earlier application Serial No. 31,144, filed. May 18,
1925, for railway car construction; this divisional application being for a car door per se, shown and described but not claimed specifically in said earlier application.
' lVhat I claim is:
In a sliding car door, the combination with marginal reinforcing members presenting a framework including spaced vertical members having webs extending substantially at right angles to thema'in plane of the door and defining the depth of the door, said members having a. flange defining substantially the outer plane of the door; of a sheet metal panel disposed substantiallyin the inner plane of the door, said panel being formed with marginal flanges arrangedat right angles to the main part of the panel and secured to the Webs of the vertical marginal members thereby cooperating with the webs and outer flanges of the vertical members to form U-shaped margins; and a series of embossments formed in the central part of said panel, said embossments extending outward and terminating Within the space between said U-shaped marginal portions to reinforce the marginal flanges of said panel. I
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
