LOUIS OFHYDE, OF BRIGH'IWOOD, MASSACHUSETTS.
RAILWAY PASSENGER-CAR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,811, dated August 9. 1887.
Application filed December 23, 1886.
In cars of this class an unpleasant feature lies in the fact that no provision is made for lighting the top of the car'in the daytime, and also in the absence of means of proper Ventilation. As cars are now constructed the only day lighting is obtained from the windows situated in the sides of the cars and at a plane considerably below the roof and bundle racks, thus rendering to give the top of the car a gloomy appearance, and necessarily bringing the bundleracks within a deep shadow.
It is the object of this invention to obviate these unpleasant features; and to that end the invention consists in locating windows of the eyelid or other suitable ornamental style along the roof at any desired distance apart, all as more fully hereinafter set forth.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a passengerear, two styles of windows being shown in the roof. Fig. 2 is a vertical crosssection on linear: m, Fig. 1.
In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, A represents a passenger-car provided with a turtle-back or oval porated, in contradistinction to the so-called double-decker. v i
-D are windows, of any suitable and orna Serial No. 229,399. (No model.)
preferably should be provided with a sash arranged to open in order to assist ventilation. lhe face of the windows should preferably be upon a vertical parallel plane with the sides of the car, while their position in such vertical plane may be coincident with, inside of, or projecting beyond the side of the car, thereby enabling meeto have a greater latitude for change in architectural ornamentation.
It must naturallyfollo-w that where windows are inserted in a roof of the character described there must be a connection between the two, so as to exclude the elements, the nature of such connection depending largely upon the relation between the two architectural constructions, and, as this merely calls for the application of ordinarymechanical skill, it forms no part of my invention.
E is a bundle-rack, any desired number of which may be arranged along the top of the car, at the sides, as usual.
A car provided with froof-windows, sub stantially as described, will be found light at the ceiling and can be readily ventilated, while it affords a greater scope for tcsthetic oruam en-.
tation than in cars not so constructed.
\Vhat I claim as my invention is 1. In a passenger-car having an oval or turtle-back roof, windows placed in said roof above the roof-plate and adjoining the same, substantially as described.
2. In a passcnger car having an oval or turtle-back roof, windows placed in said roof upon either side of the car, the faces of said windows being upon a plane substantially in line with and parallel to the side of the car, substantially as described.
3. In combination with a car, A, provided with an oval or turtle-back roof, 13, windows D, let into said roof upon either side of the car, the faces of such windows being upon a plane substantiallyin line with and parallel with the sides of the car, substantially as specified. 1
