1 claim. (o1. 2545100) This invention relates to a structurally distinct, new and useful device expressly constructed with the thought; in mind of temporary use if and when needed to facilitate holding otherwise shiftable commodity crates and vcontainers in placel in so-called part carloads during freight switch-` ing movements.
The practice in vogue at the present time for the protection of such lading in partial carloads is to build a rather bulky and sometimes intricate barrier out of lumber, or to break the load down into more substantial stacked or compact loaded Aalent conveyances.
arrangement. Obviously, a lumber barrier entails expenditure for labor and material and oftentimes damages 'the interior of freight cars.
AIt follows therefore, that the .present invention has to do with simple rstabilizing and bracing means designed for adequate protection of the part load during team track or industry switch moves. That is to say, we are concerned with a simple structure susceptible ofbeing set up and knocked down by a single attendant in approximately one minute.
The invention as shown from actual use andr` experimentation, has been found to be particularly useful at perishable loading and unloading points where it isnecessary to make switch moves to pull out full loads or empties, or diverted cars, and part loads moving across transfers, or to other locations to complete loading. In addition, the invention is susceptible of adequate use to separate and hold lading in less than carload merchandising and transportation systems involving motor trucks and analogous and equiv- In reducing to practice the principles adopted as satisfactory in perfecting the invention in its preferredr form, I have found it expedient and practicable to. utilize a simple jack and hand tool arrangement readily employable in connection with a simple lumber barrier/this having been found resultful and adequate for ordinary purif l f f and proportions asatV 22 to operatively-engage by, the improved stabilizing and `b-racing adjust'- able jack being employed as an auxiliary adjunct in the load retention means.
Figure 2 is a vview in section and .elevation showing. the post-forming jack.
Figure 3 is a horizontal section on the plane ofr the line 3-3 of Figure 2. y t
` Figure .4 is a detail section showing the shiftablehand tool. and illustrating how it is used.
Figure 5 is a View similar to Figure llshowing the tool shifted, the adjacentpart of the jack being disclosed in phantom or dotted lines.
yObviously,@different loading systems are emf ployed and forthat reason it is unnecessaryA to go into detail about shelving arrangements` and supporting cleats used on vertical and horizontal walls of the freight car. In the drawings, a simple assemblage is depicted wherein the tiers and partially lheld against accidental displace- In Figure 2 theV erzrtensible and retractable yjack or sectional post-structureis generally denoted by the numeral HL It comprises companion substantially duplicate'upper and lower tubular sections Il and I2.

It
is susceptible of placement and removal in an extremely short period oftime by a single attendant.
Thus, while it seems to be quite a simple struc- Therefore, amore lengthy description is thought unnecessary.
While the preferred embodiment of the in- Vention has been shown and described, it is to be understood that minor changes coming within f the eld of invention claimed may be resorted to if desired.
I claim: l A jack ofthe class described comprising a pair of elongated tubular members, a flat ange forming member having a centrally arranged opening therein receiving the outer end of each tubular member, said Flange forming members being attached to the tubular members, a bushing in the inner end of each tubular member having a theaded bore, an elongated screw-threaded member, the threads at one end being right handed and those at the other .end being left handed, said threaded portions engaging the bores of thebushings, an enlarged non-circular part at the center of the screw-threaded member for receiving a tool for turning the threaded member and a cushion forming member fastened to the outer face of each nange forming member with a part of the cushion forming member eX- tending across the open end of the tubular member.
