L 1 l I UNITED STATES ATENT OFFICEQ TENNILLE TONEY, OF UNION SPRINGS, ALABAMA.
CAR-STEP.
SPECIPICATION' forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,236, dated July 28, 1885.
Application filed March 27, 1885.
T0 aZZ whom it may concern:
Be itknown that I, TENNILLE TONEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Union Springs, in the county of Bullock and State of Alabama, have invented a Railroad-Car- Step Extension, which, when attached to the permanent steps, gives them two more stepsa necessity at nearly all of our minor stoppingplaces, and therefore of great benefit to the traveling public, especially to ladies and old people, of which the following is a specification.
Heretofore conductors have resorted to chairs, small step-ladders, 820., to help aged .people and ladies on term firma, who, if not assisted, would frequently fall in trying to reach it. v
The object of my invention is to supply to the railroad companies an extensionstep they will adopt, easily constructed, durable,cheaper than anything heretofore used for accomplishing the desired result, and which can be attached to any car in a few minutes, and as the steps fold one on top of the other one or more may be used. I attain these objects by mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the steps open. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the steps folded.
A A are the wooden steps, secured by screws to iron frames B B. These iron frames are provided with strong hinges G, shouldered to.
(No model.)
(1 (Z are the holes through the frames for fastening the same to the lower stationary carstep, D. These frames may be put on top or on the bottom of the stationary step. If on top, common screws will do to secure them in place, but if they are placed underneath, bolts or tap-screws must be used.
E shows an automatic iron locking-catch secured to the upper step of the extension by a screw and washers loose enough to turn and remain perpendicular, whatever the position the step may be in. The points of the catches overlapping the screws F in car-step D will spread and lock themselves when let down,
as will be seen in Fig. 2, which represents the V extension steps closed. With one finger placed between 'both catches and mo ed upward toward the pivot-screw they spread readily, and the steps can be let down in a second.
I claim 1. The combination, with permanent carstep D, of two extensionsteps, A A, mounted on iron frames B B, provided with shouldered hinges O and holes d d, for the purpose specified.
2. The combination, with stationary step D and extension-step A, of automatic lock-catch E and screws F in car-step D, substantially as described.
TENN ILLE TONEY.
