Description
W. W. SNOW. Car-Truck Frame.
i. No. 214,060. Patented April 8,1879.
@MW SW VILLIAM il". SNOlV, OF RAMAPQ, NEWT YORK.
IMPROVEMENT iN CAR=TRUGK FRAMES.
Specification forming; pui-t of Letters Patent No. 234,960, dated April 8, 1879; application filed March 7, 1879.
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that l', WILLIAM W. Snow, of Rama-po, in the county of Rockland and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Truck-Frames for Plantation-Cars; and I do hereby declare the following; to be a full, clear, and exact descriptio'n of the same, reference being inade to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specitication,'and in which` Figure l represents a top-plan view of my improved truck-frame 5 Figs. 2 and 3, sectional views of the saine.
This invention relates to new and useful irnprovements in metallic truck-frames, more especially designed for plantation-cars, the invention having for its object the construction of a truck-frame which can be readily taken apart for convenience and economy in shipping, and readilyput together en the plantation; and the invention consists in a novel construction of truck-frame whereby the parts forming the same 'can be readily put together on the plantation, all as will be hereinafter fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, A A represent the longitudinal and parallel metallic tubes, arranged close together, and forming the side sills of the frame, and B a longitudinal metallic tube forming the central sill of the frame. The ends of the tubes AA are provided with right and left hand screw-threads, by which, they can be screwed into the double T-shaped malleable or east iron tubular corner pieces (l, and the ends of the central tube are also provided with screw-threads, by which it can be screwed into the T-shaped tubular pieces D said corner and central pieces G D being connected together by the intermediate transverse tubes E E, which are also provided with ri gint and left hand screw-threads at the ends there of', by which they can be screwed inte the cerner and central pieces C l), said central and corner pieces with said tubes E forming the end sills cf the truck-frame, The corner and central pieces C D are also provided with screwsockets c d on their upper sides, into which the tubular wronghtiron stakes l) are secured.
By the above-described construction offranie it will be observed that the part-s forming the same are but duplicates of each other, thus admitting et their being easily and readily put together enjthe plantation, an'd'also permitting the frame to be readily taken apart for convenience in packin g for transportation or shipping, and thereby economizing in space, and thus reducing the cost oi' transportation.
l ain aware that metallic tubular truekframes having single longitudinal tubes, forining the side and central sills, and transverse connectingtubes, said tubes connected by screw-sockets, are old, and such I do not desire to claim, broadly, as myinvention; but,
' Having thus fully described my invention, what I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The herein-described metallic truck-fra1ne, consisting of the side sills, each composed ot' two longitudinal and parallel tubes, A A, longitudinal central tube B, transverse connect ing-tubes E E, double Tshaped tubular corner pieces C, and central T-shaped tubular pieces D, substantially as and for the purpose speci` lied.
