SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 527,091, dated October 9, 1894.

Application filed February 8, 1894:. Serial No. 499.566- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL J. VAN STAVO- REN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county'of Philadelphia and State of-Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Car- Axle-Box Pedestals; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

, My invention has relation to car-axle box pedestals of the type wherein the component parts are made of wrought or rolled metal riveted or otherwise secured together, and it has for its object simplicity and economy of con-' struction of the component parts and to this end all the parts are composed of angle iron pedestal embodying my invention. Fig.2,

is an edge view of the same, drawn to a reduced scale. modified construction and arrangement of the component parts of the pedestal. Figs. 4, 5

and 6 show perspectives partly broken away,

and Fig. 7 a perspective of the component parts of the pedestal. Fig. 8 is a plan of the Fig. 9 is asection on line 11, Fig. 2, and Fig. 10 isa like view on line 22, Fig. 3.

Arepresents the pedestal composed of a top or hearing B and axle-box guides O 0 all of which are composed of L or other suitably shaped wrought or rolled angle iron.

Fig. 3 is a like view showing a The guides O O are composed of angle irons and in said figures are arranged relatively to one another as shown or with their webs c projecting fromone another as shown more plainly in Fig. 9 and at their lower ends, are

connected by U shaped braces 6, their upper ends being correspondingly connected by like braces e which are inverted and in turn secured to the cross plates D to complete the pedestal.

e In Figs. 3 and 10, the webs c of the guides O are reversed in position, that is to say, ap-v proach each other.

From the foregoing it will'be apparent that the component parts of angle-iron may be variously arranged to complete the pedestal without departing from the invention.

What I claim is- 1. A car axle box pedestal having its top and guides composed of L shaped angle irons connected together, and braces for said guides, substantially as set forth.

2. A pedestal composed of two top parallel angle-irons B B connected by cross-plates D, depending angle-iron guides O C, and connections and braces for said guides, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereofI affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SAMUEL .J. VAN STAVOREN.
