Description

Patented Nov. l, |898.
NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD A. HILL, 'OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OE TWO-THIRDS TO JAMES L. MALLORY AND EDGAR A. HILL, OF SAME PLAGE.
CAR-DOOR BRACKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 613,274, dated November 1, 1898.
Application filed September 14, 1897. Serial No. 651,569 (No model.)
To all whom t may concern.-
Be it known th'at I, EDWARD A. HILL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Car-Door Brackets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part' of -this specification.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in brackets for supporting and guiding doors of freight-cars; and it has for its objec'tto provide a bracket of novel and peculiar construction which can be secured to the car in such a manner that the bracket cannot be detached while the door remains in place, thereby preventing the snrreptitious openin g of thecar while it is sealed by removing the bracket from the outside and springing the door of the car open at the bottom sufficient to admit a person into the car and allow of the removal of some or all of its contents.
A further object of the invention is to provide a simple device for securing the bracket to the car, which device isinaccessible while the car-door remains in place.
Another object of the invention is to construct a car-door bracket in such a way that the bracket, in conjunction with the cardoor, will entirely, and completely conceal from view the means for securing the bracket to the car.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front View of my improved bracket. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken through the bracket and a portion of the car-door. Fig. 3 is a lsectional view showing the manner in which the lag-screw is arranged in the bracket and also illustrating the relation of the parts while the bracket is being secured in place.
Referringto the drawings, in which like letters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the figures, A designates a bracket which is fastened to the side of the car, below the edge of the door, and preferably to the sill B of the car-frame, by a bolt C. The bracket in its general form is of the usual construc- .the Way of the latter.
tion, and the door D is arranged to slide back and forth on its upper face E, beingheld in place by the nose E.
The bolt C, any number of which may be used, will fasten the bracket to the car; but it is obvious that the nut c may be unscrewed from the bolt, the bolt Withdrawn, and the bracket removed from the car after the cardoor has been sealed and without unsealing the same if no other securing means were provided. In this event freight-cars can be robbed while the cars are in transit and the brackets replaced and fastened by the bolts without leaving any trace of the fact which can be observed by the inspectors who examine the cars at intervals. `It is to avoid these objections that security-brackets have been adopted so largely by railroads, and I have devised the following improved securing means for preventing this unlawful removal of the brackets and plundering of the car. The bracket A is provided with a pocket G in its upper face, and a lag-screw H is adapted to pass through an opening g in the rear wall of the bracket and be screwed into the carsill. This lag-screw is provided with a rec tangular-shaped head h, which rests in the pocket adjacent to the rear wall of the bracket and is entirely concealed and covered by the bracket itself and the door which operates over the pocket G to close the same.
The manner of applying the bracket to a car is illustrated in Fig. 3, in which it will be observed that the lag-screw H is inserted in its position in' the pocket G and the opening g before the bracket is fastened by the bolt O. The opening g is provided with .an inclined lower edge g to permit the lag-screw to be readily inserted, as indicated in the figure. The lag-screw being in a horizontal position, resting in the pocket G and the opening g, the bracket is placed against the car-sill and a wrench is used to screw the lag-screw into the Vcar-sill until its head lies close to the rear wall of the bracket. It is not absolutely essential that the lag-screw be screwed up as tight as possible, for the reason that it is concealed by the bracket and the door and is out of The door D operates above the pocket G and in conjunction with the bracket itself absolutely conceals from ICG view the lag-screw. One or more bolts C may now be used to fasten the bracket in a proper position on the car; but it will be understood that while these bolts serve to hold the bracket in its proper position the lag-screw H constitutes the means for securing the bracket to the car, and While the door remains in place this lag-screw is inaccessible.
I am aware that changes in the form and proportion of parts and details of construction of niyinvention may be made Without departing from the spirit or sacrificing the advantages thereof, and I therefore reserve the right to make all such changes as fall Within the scope of my invention.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. The combination with a car-frame, of a bracket provided with a pocket, a lag-screw passing through an opening in the rear Wall of the bracket to secure the bracket to the car-frame and having its head located in said pocket, and a car-door operating on the bracket above the pocket and in conjunction with the bracket concealing the lag-screw from View, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a car-frame, of a car-bracket provided with a pocket in its upper face and an opening in the rear wall of said bracket having an inclined lower edge, a lag-screw passing through said opening to secure the bracket to the car-frame and having its head located in said pocket, and a cardoor, substantially as described.
