FRElGHT CAR DOOR.
:BPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 335,989, dated February 9, 1886.
. I A pplieaiion filed July .23, 1885. Serial No. 172,407. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, PERRY BROWN, of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented new and useful Improvements in Freight-0ar Doors; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in freight-car doors; and the invention consists in the peculiar manner of hanging the door, and in the peculiar con struction, arrangement, and combination of the parts, all as more fully hereinafter set forth.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a section of a freight-car provided with my improved door. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line as m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a similar view on the line 3 3 same figure. Fig. 4 is a sectional detail.
In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, A represents the body of the car,provided with the usual dooropening.
B is the door, made to lit snugly between two cleats,(l,fastened on the car-body at each side of the door-opening. The door has secured to it the vertical battens D, forming double raly bets to make the door weather-tight when closed. Across the door,upon the inside and at about the longitudinal center thereof,is secured a wide bar, E, while at the bottom of the door, also upon the inside, is secured a cleat designed to rest upon the sill of the car when the door is closed. Across the door,
upon the-outside and near the bottom, is rigidly secured an iron bar, G, the projecting ends of which, when the door is closed, rest within the hook-brackets H, projecting from the side of the car, as shown. At the top of the door are two or more chains or other suitable connections for hanging the door upon the rod J,and the upper edge of the door,when closed, projects behind a rail, K, which excludes the weather, and also acts as atop fastening.
L is a lock for securing the door in its closed position. This lock will be made subject-inat- 50 tor for a separate application.
In practice, when it is desired to close the door, the car being loaded, the door is brought in front of the door-opening, and its upper end is inserted beneath the rail K and pushed up behind it until the bar G will engage with and drop into the brackets H.
\Vhat I claim as my invention is- 1. In a car-door, and as ameans for securing such door in a suitable opening in the side of 60 the car, the combination of the door B,bar Gr, brackets H, and rail K, arranged and operating substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. The, combination, with the car having bar K, rod J, and brackets H, of the door B, having bar G, and supported when not in use by the chains I, mounted loosely on said rod J, as set forth.
PERRY 'BROYVN.
