HERVEY SULLINGS, OF KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN.
STOCK- CAR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 230,835, dated August 3, 1880.
Application filed May 2 To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERVEY SULLINGS, of Kalamazoo, in the county of Kalamazoo and State of Michigan. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stock-Oars; and I do hereby declare that the followingis afull, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to theaccom pa n ying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a stock or cattle car with my improvement applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same, and Fig. 3 is a detailed horizontal section thereof.
This invention relates to improvements in cars, especially cattle or stock cars, having for its object to provide for the safe and convenient transportation of cattle, &c., in cars; and it consists of separating-partitions or temporary stalls between the cattle or stock adapted and thus held out ofthe way in unloading the cattle or stock from the car, substantially as hereinafter more full set forth.
In the accompanying drawings. A marks the car, built after the manner of the ordinary stock-car, with its sides provided with vertical rods B, spaced distances apart equal to the width of stalls for the cattle or stock. These rods are cairied or curved up, each end one back against the end of the car, and each preceding one back against or toward the one next to or succeeding it, as shown at I) b, the purpose of which will be explained presently.
Cleats or posts 0 G are fastened to the sides of the car, alongside of the vertical or upright portions of the rods B, with suitable spaces between said posts and each rod.
D D are the partitions or stall-boards dividing up the car into series of stalls in the direction of its width on each side of the do0r- (No model.)
the stall-boards D D are slid up the rods B,
and elevated up out of the way of the. cattle upon the horizontal rearwardlyextending portions 1) of said rods. and there held until it. is desired to divide up the car into stalls by lowering them into position.
\Vhen the car is loaded the boards I) D are lowered or can be lowered into position to form or divide up the car into stalls to separate the cattle from and prevent. their being jostled against each other or being thrown down by the jerking action of the cars, thus securing the safe transportation of the cattle as well as promoting convenience.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States 1. In a cattle or stock car, the combination, with the vertical rods B, with the horizontal or right-angled portions 1), of the stall-boards I), with their ends having eyes fitting around the rods B, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a cattle or stock car, the. combination, with the. rods B, having the right-angled portions I), and the posts or cleats U, of the partitions or boards I), having eyes (I, embracing the rods B, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
