- UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEe DANIEL H. HAYDEN, OF ADA, OHIO.
DUST AND CINDER ARRESTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,125, datedv June 22, 1880,
Application tiled November 22, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DANIEL H. HAYDEN, of Ada, in the county of Hardin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dust and Oinder Arresters 5 and l do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and igures of reference marked thereon.
Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a car-window, showing my device applied; and Fig. 2 is a detail view of lny dust and cinderarrester.
The nature of my present invention relates to dust and cinder arresters for car-windows; and it consists in securing a hinged shield alongside ot' the window at a proper angle for arresting dust and cindersby means of aspringlatch arranged to engage in a line of stops formed in or on a bracket which is fastened upon the side of a car; also, in forming the shield with a hollow pintle made halfcylindrical, or open aportion of its length, so as to constitute a gutter for collecting the dust and cinders; also, in the combination of the shield with its hollow pintle and a grooved or semi-cylindrical guard-plate for arresting the passage of dust and cinders between the pintle and the side of the car 5 also, in the combination,with the shield and its hollow pintle, of a spout arranged to receive the dust and cinders from the lower end of the pintle, all as hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
Referring by letter to the drawings, A designates the car-window, and B a plate or shield which is hinged alongside of the same for the purpose of arresting dust and cinders while the car is in motion. In practice I propose employing two of these shieldsone at each side of the window-so as to prevent the passage of dust and cinders into the window, no matter from which end the car is drawn.
The shield is formed with a hollow pintle, C, which is open along a portion of its length, so as to constitute a semi-cylindrical gutter, C', for catching the cinders which are deflected by the shield while the car is in motion. The ends of this hollow pintle turn in brackets D D', which are secured upon the side of the car, while the open portion ofthe pintle, which is intermediate of its ends, turns in a grooved or semi-cylindrical guard-plate, E, which is fastened to the car between the two brackets. This arrangement of the plate E effectually prevents the passage of dust or cinders between the shield and the car, and it also provides for a suitable bed for the half-cylindrical body of the pintle to work in. l
The plate of the lower bracket, D, which projects outwardly from the side of the car, is considerably larger than the plate of the upper bracket, D, and it is formed with a series of holes, F, into which a spring-latch, G, upon the shield is dropped, so as to secure the shield at the proper angle relatively to the window, in order to guard against the passage of dust and cinders into the same.
Connecting with the lower end of the pintle is an inclined spout., H, which is secured by suitable straps alongside of the car. This spout receives the dust and cinders which are deected by the shield into the hollow pintle, and conveys the same to a point near the bottom oi' the car, so that there will be no liability of its being blown into the car-window. The spring -latch which secures the hinged shield or deilector in position is arranged within a suitable casing, and is upon the side of the shield next to the window, so that it may be readily reached by a passenger within the car.
It will be readily seen that, instead of forming a series of holes in the lower bracket for the latch to drop in, a curved rack-bar would snbserve the same purpose. y
I am aware that, broadly considered, a detlecting-plate hinged alongside of a car-window for the purpose of arresting dust and cinders is not new; hence What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Paten t, is
1. Thehinged shield or delector B, arranged alongside of a car-window and provided with a latch, G, in combination with the bracket D', having a series of stops for engaging the latch of the deflector, substantially as herein shown and set forth, and for the purpose specified.
2. The shield or deflector B, hinged along,
IOO
side of a car-window and formed with a hollow pintle, O, open along a portion of its length, so as to provide a gutter, C', for catching the dust and cinders which are deflected by the said shield, substantially as shown and set forth.
3. The dust and oinder deiecting` plate B, with its hollow pintle U C', in combination with the grooved or semi-cylindrical guardplate E, arranged so as to partially encircle the pintle, substantially as herein shown and set forth, and for the purposes specified.
4. The hinged deflector B, provided with a hollow pintle, C O', in combination with the spout H, connecting with the lower end of the pintle for the purpose of conducting the dust DANIEL H. HAYDEN.
