Definitions
- ABSTRACT A side wall assembly particularly for freight cars includes an upper longitudinal beam spaced above a lower longitudinal beam which is carried on the undercarriage and with a corner post connected between the beams at each end.
- a pivot bolt boss is provided on each beam intermediate their length and a middle post is secured in position by horizontally extending bolts which engage in the bores and which are substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the car;
- a rubber or plastic seal is provided between the middle post and the upper and lower longitudinal beams or girders.
- a cover sheet is arranged over the middle and a portion of the upper longitudinal memher and it extends over the entire width of the post and is secured thereto such as by securing screws.
- the posts are rigidly secured to the upper longitudinal member andthe outer longitudinal girder Y of the'undercarriage at all points in order to obtain a stiff and distortionfree car body. Howevenin accordance'withnew findings of freight car design, a body metal upper longitudinal member without any problem.
- a rubber or plastic seal is provided at the inner side of the middle post between the post and the upper longitudinal member with the lower longitudinal girder or outer longitudinal girder located on the carriage.
- a further sealing closure for the joint is a cover sheet provided between the middle post and the upper longitudinal member which is screwed from the outside to the longitudinal member and to the middle post and extends over the'entire width of the middle post.
- the joints between the middlepost and the upper longitudinalmember and the lower longitudinal girder comprise brackets and bush bearings with bolts, the upper bracket being preferably screwed, tothe longitudinal member.
- a side wall assembly particularly for a freight car having an undercarriage and a top roof and which comprises upperand lower vertically spaced substantially parallel longitudinal beams or girders which are interconnected .by corner posts at eachnend andwhich are interconnected by a middle post which is secured over a horizontally extending pivot axis carried by'the upper and lower girders respectively.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a side wall assembly for a freight car which is simple in design
- a side wall assembly is provided particularly for covered freight cars in which the structure is capabiebryieiaifig ta martian and thus it avoids the susceptibility to crack formations at the joints between the middle posts and the upper longitudinal member or the outer longitudinal girder.
- the construction offers the possibility of connecting middle posts to an upper longitudinal member or outer longitudinal girder of the undercarriagean which may be made of light metal.
- the side wall assembly includes a middle post of the frame which is pivoted to the upper and lower longitudinal members on pivot bolts which extend substantially horizontally and at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the car.
- FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view through amiddle post portion of a freight'car side wall construction constructed in accordancewith the invention and taken along the line-l-l of FIG. 2; and l FIG. 2" is a side eleyational view of the freight car showninFIG'l.
- the invention embodied therein comprises a side wall assembly generally'designated50'of a freight car generally designated 52 which includes an undercarriage 5.4 having wheels 56 and 58 at respective ends thereof.
- the freight train is advantageously provided with a roof or cover 60.
- the side wall assembly 50 includes upper and lower longitudinalmembers or girders 2 and 3 which are arranged in spaced apart horizontal relationship and which are connected at their respective ends by corner posts I, 1'.
- the lower longitudinal member comprises an outer longitudinal girder 3 of the undercarriage 54 and it is provided with a bracket 5 as shown in FIG. I with a front wall portion 5a carrying a cylindrical bush or bearing 6 for a pivot bolt 10.
- the bracket 5 is welded to the outer longitudinal girder 3 of the undercarriage and another bracket 7 is secured to the upper longitudinal girder 2.
- the upper bracket 7 also carries a bearing sleeve or hearing bushing 8 having a horizontal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the car and parallel to the axis of the pivot 10 and the bushing 6.
- the middle post 4 is formed with horizontal bores at its respective upper and lower ends which are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the car and which may be located around the bushings 6 and 8 so that the middle post 4 may be hinged to the brackets and 7 by means of bolts 9 and 10 passed through the respective bearings 8 and 6.
- a seal 11 is provided at the inner side of the middle post 4 between the post and the bottom side of the upper longitudinal member 2 to bridge the joint between these two parts.
- the seal comprises a rubber or plastic band and is screwed to the post 4 and to the member 2.
- a cover sheet 12 extends over the entire widht of the post 4 and is screwed to the post and also to the upper longitudinal member 2.
- Preferably the cover sheet 12 is very thin in order that it not hinder the pivotal motion of the middle post 4 relative to the upper longitudinal member 2.
- a seal 14 is also provided between the middle post 4 and the lower longitudinal girder 3 of the undercarriage 54.
- a side wall assembly particularly for freight cars having an undercarriage and a top roof comprising upper and lower vertically spaced substantially parallel longitudinal members, at least one corner post connected between said upper and lower longitudinal members adjacent at least one end thereof, pivot means defining pivots on each of said upper and lower longitu- 2.
- a side wall assembly according to claim 1 including a cover sheet extending over said middle post and secured to said middle post and to said upper longitudinal member and extending over the entire width of said middle post.
- a side wall assembly according to claim 1 including a bracket on said upper and lower longitudinal members each bracket having a bush bearing, and a bolt extending through said middle post and into said bush bearing for pivotally connecting said middle post to said upper and lower longitudinal members.
