PUSH-BAR PLATE.
SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,638 dated February 13, 1894.
Application filed November 20; 1891. Serial No. 412,461. (No model.)
To alt whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, DAVID L. BARNES, of Chicago, Cook county, State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Push-Bar Plates, of which the following is a specification. V
This invention relates to push bar plates for railway cars, and the improvement consists in the push bar plate of steel having its parts pressed into shape.
The object of the improvement is to provide a push bar plate of very light construction and yet strong and rigid.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top view of a push bar plate embodying my improvement. Fig. 2, is a side view thereof. Fig. 3, is a front view; and Fig. 4, is a section through the line i it of Fig. 3.
Referringbyletter to the drawings,the plate is shown as having the front portion A, the side portion A at an angle to the portion A, and the depression A formed in the front portion A. The portions A A are adapted to engage around the corner of a car and be secured thereto by bolts or otherwise. The depression A for receiving the end of a push bar, is formed by pressing a portion of the plate outward, making the annular hollow rib like wall A This rib at one side extends slightly beyond the angle a of the portions A A and has a rearward strengthening projection' a. formed by pressing a section of the portion A outward as shown. By forming the corner plate in the way shown the pressed corrugations give increased strength and lightness to the structure.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A push bar plate consisting of pressed steel plate having the depression formed by pressing a portion of the plate outward making an annular rib, substantially as described.
2. A push bar plate consisting of pressed steel plate having the angle portions and the outwardly pressed annular rib forming a depression, substantially as described.
3. A push bar plate consisting of pressed steel plate having the portions A A, the annular rib A forming the depression A and the outwardly pressed portion a, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
DAVID L. BARNES.
