UNITED STATES JOHN V. VEST, OF
PATENT OFFICE.
VERONA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONEIIALF TO JOHN It. ORIBBS, OF SAME PLACE.
CAR-ROOF.
- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303,684, dated August'. 19, 1884.
I Application filed March 2B, 1884. (No model.)
To all whom zit may concern):
Beit known that I, JOHN NV. XVEsT, of Ve rona, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in 5 Car-Itoofs, which improvement is fully set plan view; Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional yiew, and
Fig. 3 a side view.
A A are board walks. Usually on each car there are two of these lying parallel with each other and near to each other, and extending 2o the whole length of the car-roof.
These walks are supported on the crosspeces c o c c, and these pieces c c are supported from the carroof by the boxes a a aa, which may be made from tin, Zinc, iron, brass, copper, or galva- There may be any number of these cross-supports c as considered adequate to support the weight likely to go upon them, but to illustrate my invention I show in the drawings only four of them.
B is the roof proper of the car. Ou this roof the boxes a a a a are tightly soldered or otherwise properly fastened. The cross-supports c c c o are made to iit closely in these boxes a a ct a, and then well secured. b b are braces to prevent the footwalk from'moving lengthwise. I make these supports or braces I) b of wood, and cover them over with tin or other sheet metal, and make them pointed underneath the footwalk, as seen in the drawings, Y 4o so that when the dirt from the locomotive is being blown through under the walk no part make it possible for all dirt, Sto., to be blown through and off.
a a a c are water-holes in the boxes a a a a,
for the purpose of allowing all water that may get in said boxes to flow out.
As footwalks are now constructed,they are on supports that rest immediately on the roof, and hence the latter is quickly damaged by rust. f
claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
l. A footwalk for freight-ears, having the metallic boxes a., cross-pieces c, and boards A, in combination with the roof B, substantially as described, shown, and set forth.
2. In a footwalk for freightoars, the combination of the boards A, supports c, brace b,
boxes'a, and a car-roof, substantially as described and shown.
3. The metallic boxes a, in combination with the roof B, for the purpose of supporting a footwalk for cars, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. y
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
