EDl/VARD IVILLIAM MACKENZIE HUGHES, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO THE FOX SOLID PRESSED STEEL COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
PRESSED-STEEL TRUCK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 408,119, dated July 30, 1889.
Application filed May 23, 1889. Serial No. 311,877- (No model.)
To aZZ whom, it Ina/y concern.-
Be it known that I, EDWARD WILLIAM MAC- KENZIE HUGHES, of Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Trucks, of which the following is a full, true, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to an improvement in pressed-steel trucks not provided with end [0 frames, and in which the transom byits structure holds the Wheel-pieces or side frames firmly in their parallel position.
My invention will be readily understood from the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a vertical elevation;
Fig. 2, a plan; Fig. 3, a central vertical section; Fig. 4., a longitudinal section through the transom and bolster, and Fig. 5 a sectional view of the wheel-piece or wheel-frame.
My invention consists, generally, of the wheel-frame A, made of a single. piece of pressed steel and usually provided with flanges for the journal-box, as at-B, and with a flange C for the reception of the end of the transom. The transom D is a trough-shaped structure of pressed steel, as shown, having flanges E E, which are cut away at the ends, as shown, so as to allow the passage of the transom through the wheel-piece, as shown at F. The ends of the flanges E are turned up, as at G, so as to form stops for the wheelpieces A, to which the transom is bolted by the projections G, as shown in Fig. 3. The
bolster K may be of any ordinary construc- 3 5 tion; but I prefer to make it of pressed steel.
The pressed-steel transom preferably has a central opening, as at L, provided with flanges M for stiffness. hen. this truck is put to gether, as indicated in Fig. 2, it is plain that the pressed-steel transom, by reason of its contact and accurate fit with the flanges C of the wheel-pieces A, will hold them in an ab-- solutely fixed and accurate position without end frames being required to insure the parallelism of the side frames A A. In addition to the riveting of the lugs or projections G, the parts C F may likewise be riveted together.
\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination of the wheel'pieces A A, formed of pressed steel and flanged at C, with the pressed steel transom D, having flanges E bearing against the side frames, thereby insuring the parallelism of the side frames without end frames, substantially as described.
2. The combination of the side frames A A, of pressed steel, and having flanges C, with the transom D, of pressed steel, having flanges E, and lugs G G G G, pressed from the flanges E, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EDWARD WILLIAM MACKENZIE HUGHES.
