HANGER FQR CAR-DQQRS.
iSIPECIFIGATIOIil forming part of Letters Patent No. 457,691, dated. August 11, 1891 Application filed January 27, 1891. Sen'al 1T0. 379,231. (No model.) v
To (ZZZ 2011,0322 it may concern.-
Be it known that I, PETER ALLAIN, of Rutland, in the county of Rolland and s tate of,
Vermont, have invented a new and usetul improvement in Hangers for Car-Doors, of which will permit it to receive a sliding movement laterally.
To these ends my invention consists in the construction and combination of parts, as is hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a portion of this specification, in which similar letters of reference in dicate corresponding parts in all the figures. Fir'ure 1 is a broken perspective side elerationv of one side of a freight-car, showing a door supported thereon in accordance with my invention, a locking latch being also shown in position unlocked and the door partly open. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the car-door in closed adjustment. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the inner side of the cardoor in its closed position. Fig. 4 is a detached enlarged perspective View of one of the supports for the car-door. Fig. 5 is a similar view of the other support for the car-door,
and Fig. (5 is a plan view of the hanger-bar.
The caudoor A is of theusnal form, being a rectangular battened structure conforming in appearance exteriorly with the side of the car B, and for efficiency in service the door should extend at the bottom to the line of the lower edge of the car-siding, so that when closed the line of the lower edge of the car will be unbroken Across the'top of the cat-side B a horizontal hanger-bar C is secured at each end, spanning the door-opening therein and extending beyond said opening a distance equal to the width of the door, which is to slide thereon when it is opened.
The hanger-bar C is preferably made rectangular in cross-section, and has an oitset formed on it at near one end, which affords a pad for engagement with the side of the carone support D consisting partly of a bracketplate'b, that is flat and sufiiciently extended to be substantially secured by screws or bolts upon the exterior of the door, said plate be- 'ing attached thereto near one side edge and Y a proper distance from the top edge-to adapt it for service Qu the bar C another part c of the door support D isloosely mounted, and, as shown, this piece or hanger-clip is formed with jaws c, that hook over the top and bottom edges of the hanger-bar O, loosely embracing it, free to slide longitudinally thereon. The hanger-clip c and bracket-plate b are connected by a link-bar (Z, pivotally secured at each end to the ears 6 e, that project from the upper and lower ends of said clip and plate, respectively, as shown in Fig. 4. The other suspending device for the door A consists of a loop or clip E, which is formed to. embrace the bar 0 loosely, in the same manner as does the clip 0, both clips having an opening between their jaws s, which will permit them to slide upon the bar C and avoid contact with the studs (1 (L The clip E is furnished with an integral bracket-plate E, which is suitably perforated for the insertion of screws, by which it is affixed to the door.
\Vhen the door is hung, the hanger-clips c and E are placed on the bar 0, the bracketplates 1) E of each supporting device being screwed or bolted upon the outer surface of the door, as before indicated, in such a relative position from the upper edge and the opposite side edges of the door that the linkbar (6 will be free to vibrate, the weight of the door being then imposed out-he hanger-clips, a keeper-plate j, which is attached to thelower side of the car, preventing an outward displacement otthe door.
From the peculiar construction of the doorsupporting devices, as described, the door A may be'swung outwardly by lateral pressure, so as to permit it to slidein the space between the outside of the ear i3 and the inner surface ot the hanger-bar O, as before stated, or be moved opposite the door-opening in the earside and be swung inwardly to align there- With,thus sealing the aperture in the car-side and aligning the outer face of the door with its general exterior surface.
The securing device for the cat-door consists, in part, of a fixed lug g, which projects from one side edge of the door opposite a socket formed to receive itin the door-jainb toward which the door is to he slid to close it, which lug will enter the socket as the door is moved inward against the frame-timbers i r 0, the complete insertion being effected simultaneously with the lateral movement of the entire door to align it with the car-side, a handle It being provided to facilitate the manipulation of the car-door, as stated. The lOCK- ing device for the other side edge of the door A is comprised of a locking-arm m, which is supported on a latch-plate m, that is secured on the outer face of the door at a suitable height. Said plate in has a locltingstaple m on its outer face near the end adjacent to the edge of the door, and is transversely perforated at a proper point in the opposite end portion to loosely receive a laterally-projecting stud n on the inner face of the arm '02, the end of which is shown in Fig.
A disk a is securely mounted upon the squared inner end of the stud 1i, and one end of a locking-bolt 0 is pivoted to the disk near its edge, so as to be longitudinally projected when the disk is partly rotated.
The locking-bolt o is supported to slide out? Wise by its loose engagement with a slot formed in the vertical bar 7) of the doorbatten frame, the free end 0 of the bolt be ing adapted to enter an aligning socket cut in the upright jamb-tin1ber 1), as shown in Fig. 8.
To effect the lOClilllP connection of the bolt 0 from the exterior of the car, the arm in is swung downward to project its depending finger '2 through the staple m thereoythrowing the bolt outwardlyinto engagement with the socket 0, so to fasten the door A. The door may be further secured by the attaclr ment of a sealing device or a lock upon the inserted end ot' the linger 1'.
\Vhen the door A is to be released, it is only necessary to free the finger-piece r, so that it may be removed from the staple m and then rock upwardly to the limb m, when the door may be drawn outwardly by pulling upon the handle h, which will Withdraw the door and allow it to slide laterally.
The fastening mechanism forms no part of the present invention, and is not claimed in this application.
It will be noticed that the door A is hung a short distance below the roof of the car, so as to allow its upper edge to clear the studs a a and, further, that the lower edge of the car-door is in alignment with the lower edge of the car-siding, the'last-mentioned feature afiordiug freedom of movement to the door and avoiding the usual obstruction to its sliding movement. It also protects the car-sill from the elements, so as to obviate injury that results thereto when unprotected.
Having thus described my invention, I claimas new and desire to secure by Letters I atenti. In a car-door, the hanger D, comprising the vertical clip 0, having upper and lower jaws c on its inner face to hook over the upper and lower edges of a rail and provided on its outer face at its lower end with two transverse ears (2 c, the vertical bracket-plate I) having transverse ears 6 c at its upper end, and the link (Z, pivoted at its ends between the forth.
$3. The combination, with a car having a track C, supported, as at a over its door-opening and inclined inward at a, of the sliding door fitting said opening and provided at its upper end near its forward edge with a hanger E, having a clip E at its upper end provided on its inner face with spaced jaws s, hooking over the upper and lower edges of the rail, and at its rear edge with a hanger comprising the clip 0, having spaced jaws c c on its inner face embracing the upper and lower edges of the rail, cars a e at thelower end of clip, vertical bracket-plate h, secured to the door nearer its inner edge than the clip 0 and/formed atitsuppeicnd with ears r and the limit (Z, pivoted at its ends in said pair: of cars, substmitially as set. forth.
