signor to American Car and Foundry Company, New York, N. Y., a corporation of New Jersey Application February 11, 1949, Serial No. '75,947
5 Claims.
This invention relates to freight cars and more particularly to anchor means for lading tie straps.
An object of the invention is to provide freight cars with an improved lading tie strap anchor means that forms a part of the car framing.
Another object of the invention is to eliminate the possibility of injury to lading secured in carrier vehicles by providing tie strap anchors lying within the inner wall surface of the vehicle.
A further object of the invention is to provide lading strap anchor means for a vehicle that is inexpensive to manufacture and readily assembled in the vehicle.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from a study of the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure l is a fragmentary perspective View of one end of the interior of a freight car showing the anchor means with tie straps secured thereto.
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary plan View of the inner wall of the freight car showing a portion of one of the anchor means.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on lone 3--3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a sectional View taken on line 4-4 of Figure 2.
The invention can be applied to lading carriers of various types and for the purpose of illustration, I have selected a freight car I of conventional design. Such car has the usual oor II, vertically extending metal wall framing members I2 and horizontally extending inner wall boards I3 formed of wood.
Anchor means, forming the subject of this invention, is a sheet metal structure I4 preferably of the same length and width as the wooden wall boards for assembly as a part of the wall framing and the inner wall structure. The number of such structures employed and their location in the inner wall is optional.
The sheet metal wall structure I4 includes a sheet metal member bent to form a base I5, top and bottom flanges I6 and flange extensions I'I providing feet that are secured to the wall frame members I2 by welding as indicated by numeral I3. The inner face of base I lies flush with the inner faces of the wooden boards of the inner wall. As the metal anchor members are fixed to the vertical frame members they serve as braces in the framing and add to the strength thereof.
The metal wall members are formed to provide one or more anchors for tie straps I9 that are applied to lading, such as barrels 20. and serve to hold the same in a set position on the floor of the freight car. Base I5 of the metal member is first punched to form a pair of tongues 2| for each anchor having their base portions in adjacent but spaced relation. A metal reinforcing member 22 is next applied by welding to the outer face of base I5 between the bases of the tongues. The tongues are next bent around the side edge portions of the reinforcing member and are welded thereto as indicated by numeral 23. At the same time, the tongues are being bent, or in another operation, the areas of the base I5 adjacent the sides and free end of the tongues are bent outwardly to form concave pockets 24 thereby serving as guiding surfaces for the tie strap when being applied to the anchor which consists of the tongues 2l, the portion of the base I5 between the tongues and reinforcing member 22. To further guide the tie strap and to reinforce the metal member I4 adjacent the openings, a concave cover plate 25 is welded over the outer surface of the concave portions of base I5, as indicated by numeral 26. This cover is coextensive with both of the pockets 24 adjacent each of the anchors.
It will be noted that the structures I4 extend parallel with and between wall boards to form part of the car interior wall and also a part of the wall framing. The anchor means is outside of the inner wall surface and cannot come in contact with the lading to cause injury thereto.
The invention may be modified in Various respccts as will occur to those skilled in the art and the exclusive use of all modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims is contemplated.
What is claimed is z l. An inner wall member for freight cars comprising a sheet of metal formed with a wall surface base, flanges extending from the sides of said base, feet at the ends of said side anges, and spaced tongues struck outwardly from said wall base and bent toward one another, said tongues and the base wall portion of the member therebetween forming a lading strap anchor.
2. In a freight car, an inner wall member formed with a wall surface base and side ilanges, tongues struck out from the base with their base portions in spaced relation, and a reinforcing member xed to the outer surface of the member base between the tongues, said tongues being bent over the reinforcing member and secured thereto.
3. In a freight car, an inner sheet metal wall member, a pair of spaced tongues struck out from said member and bent toward each other, said tongues and the portion of the wall member therebetween forming a lading strap anchor, and an outercover` plate secured to the wall member over the openings formed by striking the tongues, said cover plate being spaced outwardly of the tongues.
4. In a freight car., an inner sheet metal Wall member having a base Wall section with outwardly extending top and bottom flanges, spaced tongues struck outwardly from said base section and bent toward each other, said tongues and the intermediate base wall section forming a lading strap anchor, portions of the base section of the wall member adjacent said tonguesbeing curved outwardly, and an outwardly curved cover plate secured over the outside of the curved portions of the wall member and spaced outside of the anchor.
5. In a freight car, an inner sheet metal wall member having a base wall section with outwardly extending 4flanges at 'the top and bottom, spaced tongues struck out from said base section,
a reinforcing strip secured to the outside of the base section between the tongues, said tongues being bent around and secured to the reinforcing strip to form a lading strap anchorI portions of the base section adjacent the tongues curving outwardly, and a cover plate xed to the outside of the curved portions of the base section and spaced from said tongues.
