SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 454,822, dated June 23, 1891. i
Application led September 13, 1890. Serial Ns. 364,927. (No model.)
To all whom, t may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN E. HUGHES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pine Bluff, in the county of Jefferson and State of Arkansas, have invented an Improvement in Railway Live-Stock Cars, of which the following isa specification.
My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in railway live-stock cars; and the object of the improvement is to facilitate the loading and unloading of live stock from either end or an intermediate point of a train of cars. NVith my improvement, wishing to load a tra-in with live stock, all the ends of the cars are opened and adj usted, except the outer ends of the last cars, making a complete passage throughout. As fast as the most distant cars from chute are loaded the ends are closed until every car is loaded; t-he reverse in unloading. The car set at the chute will be the last car loaded and the first car unloaded. I accomplish these objects by the appliances illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side View of the abutting ends of two cars'coupled together, with adjustable ends opened preparatory to loading or unloading. Fig. 2 is an end view of car with adjustable end open, and shows the use of supporting-chains O O and rod-hooks E E, hereinafter described. Fig. 3 is anend view of car ready for motion, with adjustable end closed and secured by drop A, which is fastened by pins D D and rod-hooks E E, hereinafter described. Fig. at is an end view of a common stock-car without my improvement.
Similar letters refer to the same parts throughout the several views. j
A (the drop) is the'lower fastening for doors, hereinafter referred to, when closed and forms the ioor of the passage-way between the cars when open.
d a are the hinges of drop A.
b b are lateral extensions at the ends of the drop to iit over staples g g, hereinafter referred to.
D D are two pins which pass through staples g g and secure dropv A, when closed by means of fastenings vb b.
H H are two chains which attach the pins D D to car.
F F (two slatted doors) form the greater part of end of car when closed, and the sides of the chute or .passage-way between cars when open.
f f f f represent hinges of doors F F.
E E (two rod-hooks) form the top fastenings for doors F F when closed and braces for same when open.
e e are two staples near corner of car to place rod-hooks E E in to brace and hold firm the doors F F when open.
c' c' are two staples, one in each door F F, to place rod-hooks E E in to fasten doors when closed.
B is an iron apron attached to dropv A to meet or lap according to distance or slack between the ears.
C C are two chains attached to car and drop A to support the drop When down or open, when it" forms the floor of passage-way between cars when loading or unloading.
The doors and parts are made so that they may meet or lap and be secured by the fastenin gs aforesaid.
t What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is*
In a live-stock car having an open end, the combination of the doors F F, the hooked rods E E, staples c' c' and e e, the drop A, adapt-ed to overlap and fasten the doors when closed, the apron B, and the fastening ZJ, g, and D for the said drop, substantially as described.
