IMPROVEMENT IN RAILROAD-CARS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 4!,409, dated January 26, 1864.
same, reference being bad to the accompany ing drawings, making part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a top view of the bed of the carframe. Fig. 2 is a View of the under side.
Figs. 3 and 4 are detached parts,.showing side.
views;;and Fig. 5 is an end view.
Our invention relates to a novel mode of attaching the bolster to the sills of the carframe. In the ordinary method nowi-n use the sills are weakened by the bolt-holes that receive the bolts that secure the beam to the sills, which beam supports the bolster. The sills being in this manner weakened at the most exposed point, are caused to sag at points opposite the king-bolt or center-pin, and often to become broken. By our improvement this difficulty is in a great measure obviated, and in case the beams themselves become broken they'are easily removed" for the introduction of new ones.
' In the accompanying drawings, A A repre sent the sills of the car-frame, and B B repre sent the cross-bars that support the floor.
.These are framed into the sill in' the usual manner.
The beams that support the bolster are shown at C G C O. Those shown at (J C have their ends bolted to the under side of the sills at a distance of about three feet apart, and at equal distances forward and back of the position of the centenpi'n or king-bolt D. The timbers G 0' show another method of fastening tqthe sills without the use of bolts. It is At E is shown a cross-piece, which is bolted D. The cross-piece E maybe changed in its position and run transversely to the car-frame, the ends in this case resting upon or being supported by the cross-pieces G G, which are bolted to the under side of. the beams C O. at
the distance of eight or ten inches inside of the sills.
The king-bolt D, as in the arrangement pre viously described, passes through the center of the cross-piece E and through the bolster F; as before described. The ends of the bolster rest upon brackets, (shown at H H in Figs. 3, 4, and 5,) to prevent too much rocking of the car-body. By placing the beams thatsupport the bolster in the positions herein described the elasticity of the beams G C, O O, E E, and G G is nearly equal to the springs now in common use, and are in themselves 'nearlysufficient for all the practical purposes of springs.
The two methods hereinbefore described for attaching and supporting the bolster are sub-' JAMES WITHYCOMBE. CHARLES REIBLEIN.
