Patented Oct. 24, 1944 RAILWAY CAR CONSTRUCTION James A. Duffie, Cary, Ill., assigner to The .Youngstown Steel Door Com-pany, Cleveland,

18 Claims.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved and sturdy side wall construction for railway house cars.
A further object is to provide a novel and sturdy frame structure for side walls of railway house cars.
A further object is to provide a new and improved side sill for railway house cars.
Other objects of the invention will become clear as the description thereof proceeds.
In the drawings forming part of this specification:
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a portion of a side wall structure for railway house cars embodying the instant invention, parts being broken away in order to better illustrate the invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary elevation of the new and improved side sill.
Fig. 5 is a horizontal section taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 is a horizontal section of Fig. 1.
In the drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention a portion of the side wall of a railway house car extending from the door opening to one end of the car is shown, parts of the wall being broken away in order to more clearly illustrate the invention. It is to be understood that the portion of the wall extending from the door opening to the other end of the car is complementary to the portion illustrated and that the wall on the other side of the car is substantially similar in construction.
The side wall structure embodies a side plate I of well known Z-shaped section so arranged that the flange I I extends vertically and upwardly from the web I2 and the flange I3 extends vertically and downwardly from the web I2. The side plate III extends continuously from end to end of the car and provides means for attachment of door posts I4, intermediate posts I5, and corner posts I6. The door post I4, as more clearly appears from Fig. of the drawings, is Z-shaped in section and embodies a web I1 arranged at right angles to the wall and oppositely extending flanges I8 and I9 arranged parallel to the wall.
taken on line 6*-6 The flange I9 is secured to the downwardly extending vertical flange I3 of the side plate I0, as
by means of rivets 20, and the web I1 of the door post is secured to the flange I3 of the side plate, as by means of an angle gusset member 2I having one flangev 22 fastened to the web I1 by means of rivets 23, and the other flange 24 fastened to the side plate flange I3, as by means of rivets 25. An angle member 26 is secured to the flange i9 of the door post and serves to support a spark and weather strip (notshown).
An intermediate post I5 is more clearly illustrated in Fig. 3 of the drawings. From this figure it will be seen that the intermediate post is Z- shaped in section and comprises a web 21V disposed at a right angle to the side wall and oppositely extending flanges 28 and 29 arranged parallel to the wall. The intermediate posts are fastened to the side plate, preferably by means of rivets 30 which extend through flange 29 and through side plate flange I3.
The corner post IB, which is more clearly illustrated in Fig. 6 of the drawings, is substantially W-shaped in section and embodies the right angularly related flanges 3l and 32 to which the main body portion of a car end 33 and a flange 34 formed vthereon are respectively fastened, as by means of rivets 35 and 36.
The side wall construction embodies a side sill 31 to which the lower ends of the door posts, intermediate posts and corner posts are secured. The side sill 31 comprises an inwardly extending horizontal flange 38 which is secured to the car under-frame, as more clearly lshown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, a vertical flange 39 extending upwardly from the outer end of the horizontal flange 38, an inwardly and upwardly sloping ange 4B, and a verticalange 4l extending upwardly from the inner end of the flange 48. The side sill 31 extends continuously from substantially end to end of the car except that in the door opening the flanges 48 and 4l and a portion of the upstanding flange 39 are removed so that the side sill does not extend above the door 42. The side sill is preferably reinforced for a portion of its length by means of a bulb angle 43 fastened to the horizontal flange of the side sill, as by means of rivets 44.
The lower portions of the posts are disposed outwardly of the upstanding flange 4IY of the side sill. The flange 28 of the intermediate post I5 abuts the outer face of the upstanding ange 4I of the side sill to which it is secured, as byvmeans of a rivet 45. Since it is preferred thattheange 2B terminate above the sloping liange 4U of the side sill, it is coped asindicated at 4B. The web 21 of the intermediate post extends continuously to a point adjacent to flange 38 of the side sill and is fastened to said flange and to the side sill reinforcement 43, where such reinforcement occurs, by means of angle clips 41 and 48. These angle clips are disposed on opposite sides of the web of the post and are secured thereto, as by means of rivets 49, and to the side sill flange 38 and the side sill reinforcement by means of the rivets 44 which fasten the latter two members together.
The mode of attachment of the door posts to the side sill is more clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 5 of the drawings. With particular reference to Fig. 5, it will be apparent that the sloping flange and the inner vertical flange 4| of the side sill terminate adjacent to the web of the door post, being spaced therefrom a distance sufficient to accommodate the vertical leg of the angle clip 48 which, together with the angle clip 41, serves to secure the web of the door post to the horizontal flange 38 of the side sill. The outer vertical flange 39`of the side sill,
reduced in height for the reasons noted above, and the horizontal flange 38 of the sill, extend continuously across the door opening. Additional securement between the door post and the side sill is obtained by means of an angle gusset G which, as more clearly shown in Fig. l of the drawings, is riveted to-the inner flange I8 of the door post and to the inner Vertical flange 4| of the sill.
With reference toFig. 6 of the drawings, it will be seen that a portion of the horizontal sill flange 38 and vertical flange 39 and sloping flange 40 are coped, as indicated at 52, and that vertical sill flange 4| and a portion of the horizontal sill flange 38 extend beyond the cope.
The vertical supports for slope boards 62 which are nailed thereto. The inner lining of the car is shown at 63.
It will be apparent that numerous changes and modifications in the details of the invention will be clear to those skilled in the art. It is intended, therefore, that all such modifications and changes be comprehended within this invention, which is to be limitedk only by the scope of the claims appended hereto.
