INVENTOR fi/firzfia ATTORNEY Kama? Patented Feb. 20, 1940 UNITED STATES PATE T OFFICE;
15 Claims. ratios- 429) -This invention relates to side doors in general and in particular to side doors for railway cars carrying trap doors and adapted to swing inward into the step well.
In the past the major proportion of cars have beenbuilt without any protection between the lower edge of the side door and the lower step tread; in other words, the step wellwas open leaving an unsightly recess for collection of snow, ice and dirt. Attempts have been made recently to close the step wells by continuations-of the skirting being either directly or hingedly connected to the door. In cases where the door was swung inwardly into the step well, together with the hinged skirting, it was necessary that the step risers be made of unequal height. Such unequal height risers have been the cause of frequent accidents to passengers entering or leaving the car. It is an object, therefore, of the present invention to provide a side door with folding skirt and trap door attached in sucha manner that the step risers may be of equal height.
A further'object of the invention is the provision of'a side door swingable into a step well and having the lower part thereof swingable and slidable relative to the door in order to clear the steps. r
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a combined side door and trap door swingable as a unit into the passageway and in which the lower part of the side door may swing and slide relative to the door in unison with the movement of the trap door.
These and other objects of the inventionjwill be apparent to persons skilled in the art from a study of the following description and accom panying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view through the car at the step well and showing the parts in closed or. train running position; Fig. 2 is a sectional view similar to showing the trap door and folding'skirt raised preliminary to opening of the mainside door;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on. line 3-3 of Fig. 2; 3
Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken substantially on line 4-4 of Fig. 3, and
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken substantially on line 55 of Fig. 3 but with parts of the step well broken away in order to more clearly disclose the connection'and arrangement of the parts.
Referring. now. to the drawings in detail, it will v be seen that the side doorA and hinged skirt B are adapted to close the passageway and step well fli'he step well is formed. by side plates 2 ,(Fig. 4) and has attached thereto an angle or cessv will be' formed in the step well beneath Figure land and plate.
step treads 6 through the medium of angleclips for other means 8. The uppe edges of the side plates 2 and upper riser edge have attached". thereto angular means lii providing a shoulder y for support of trapdoor D, later to be'referred to,
Theangular member at one side of the step well 1 projects inwardly into the step. well as at 42' similar-means l3 to which the passageway side well t4 may be attached. Itwill thus beseen that by projecting the angular means inwardly' a repassageway wall. The side door A is'preferably' formed of two spaced sheets 16 joined at suitable intervals'and strengthened at the edges by chan-. ,nel or otherform stiffeners l8 and is hinged to the passageway" plate and step well plate by m jmeans of hinges zt so arranged'as to bring the outer door plate substantially flush with the side wall 2! (Fig. 5) when the door is closed.
if The side door is stiffenedas at 22 in order to p receive oneelement of hinge '24, the other ele mentbeing' secured to the trap doorD adapted .to normally rest on the shoulders of angle mem hers 10 substantially in alignment with the floor l-s'urface F of the car. The trapdoor hinge M is I" .preferablyof a conventionaltype having a tube .26 enclosing a flat spring 2'! which will act a torsion spring counterbalancing a part of the trap door weight and causing the doorto lift slightly; when the catch (not shown) holding the "door down is released.
The side or main door of such a length that the lower edge thereof may readily clear the second step tread when the door is swung inwardly on hinges 2|) and'the lower edge of the side door carrieshinges 28 by means oi which the folding skirt member or auxiliary doorB is carried by the main door. The folding skirt member or auxiliarydoor is constructed with an outer plate 3;] conforming tothe car contour and reinforced adjacent its upper and side edges by angles 32 with the lower edge being reinforced by a plate 33 see cured directly to'plate 30. Since the lower edge oithe main side door must clearthe secondstep tread and since the plate 30 must, when folded up wardly, fit in the recess formed by the extension l2, the plate 30 must of necessity be of such a lengthas toprevent its contacting the lower tread surface; thus leaving a space between the tread In order to close the space between plate: 3%! and the lower tread surface, an auxiliary sliding skirt or auxiliary door extension is provided formed of plate 34 reinforced at its upper edge by angle 35 and carrying at its lower edge a rubber or other resilient sealing gasket 36 adapted to contact the upper surface of the lower step tread. The plate 34, angle 35 and gasket 36 may slide relative to the plate 3!] and in order that the sliding movements of this extension may be controlled; rods 38 are connected to angle 35 and extend through guides Ml carried by brackets 42 secured to the inner face of the plate 30. Springs 5 3 are interposed between the angle 35 and guides 45 thus constantly urging the sliding extension outward substantially parallel to the plates 30. Rods 38 have connected thereto short cables 46 passing over pulleys 4? carried by the angles 32 and having the free ends thereof connected by means of adjusting bolts 48 to pivot blocks 50 extending outwardly from brackets .52, which brackets are clamped or otherwise secured to rods fi l a predetermined point intermediate their ends. Rods E i are provided at one end with clevis adapted to be pivoted as at 51' to lugs 58 carried on. brackets 42, while the other ends engage turnbuckles 60 connected through rods ,62 and hinge pins 5-3 to the under surface of the trap door. By adjustment of turnbuckle 6f! the folding skirt section B, together with its slide extension, may be forced into and held in proper position in alignmentwith the door and skirt section of the car, while by adjusting bolt 48 and clamp 52 the extent of sliding movement of the .slide extension may be controlled as desired and in order that the gasket. will clear the trap door'supporting shoulder 56 when the folding skirt enters the recess provided therefor in the step well.
The operation of the. combined side door, trap door and folding skirt arrangement is as follows and assuming the parts to be in thepositions as indicated in Figure 1: Release of the trap door catch (not shown) will cause torsion springs 21 to raise the door slightly, allowing the" operator to grasp the same and lift it upwardly to a position substantially paralleling the door for retention by catch 1!]. During the upwardswinging of the trap door connection, rodsiiZ and 5 4 have caused the folding skirt member B to rotateupwardly about pivots 28 into a position as nearly parallel to the door as is possible. During the upward swinging of the folding skirt member under control of rods 62 and 5d the pivot blocks 50 swing through an arc and since they are offset from the pivot pins 52', they increase their distance from the hinges 28. Increasing the distance between the pivot blocks and hinges 28 will cause tension to be placed in the cables 46, thus pulling rods 38 toward the hinge axis of the folding skirt section causing the slide extension to be retracted to a position in which gasket 36 issubstantially even with the edge of plate'30 and reinforcement 33. With the trap door in the raised position, the side door may be unlocked and swung inwardly against passageway wall M with. the folding skirt arrangement entering the recess provided therefor and with the door outer surface covering all working ,parts of the mechanism, thus preventing any 1 relative thereto, a trap door mounted for upward swinging movement and normally covering said step well, and means connecting said trap door, auxiliary door and extension for operation substantially in unison.
