SHIPPING RAILWAY-CAR.
SPEGIFlGJtTION forming part of Letters Patent No. 688,729, dated December 10, 1901. Application'fileii September 30, 1901. Serial No. 77,021. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EDWARD HAAS, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Antonio, in the county of Bexar and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Shipping Railway-Oars; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The invention relates to shipping railwaycars, and more particularly to cars designed for the hauling of ice, barrels, and kegs.
The object of the invention is to provide a car of this character with a metal floor interposed between the main floor of the car and a supplemental folding floor, said metal floor being provided with a gutter for the purpose of carrying off water made by the melting of the ice, and being covered by a supplemental floor it will not be damaged by puncture due to the rough handling of kegs and barrels within the car.
With this and-other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement a horizontal sectional view on line 2 z of Fig. 3.
Referring to the drawings, 1 denotes the main floor of a car, which consists of two spaced-apart sections a and I), provided with ventilators c, if desired.
2 denotes the sides of the car, and 3 the. ends thereof.
4 denotes a longitudinal groove formed in the upper section a of the floor of the car, and 5 denotes a sheet-metal lining which smoothly fits over the entire surface of the section a of the floor of the car and is provided with a central longitudinal trough 6, which fits the groove 4:, and from this trough lead one or more outlet-pipes 7, which lead through the several sections of the floor of the car and are designed to drain off water which is collected by the trough. This sheet-metal lining has its sides bent upwardly to form flanges 8, which rest against the studding 9 of the car and are confined between the inner .walls 10 and 11 of the sides and ends of the car. At the door-openings in the sides of the car the edges of the sheet-metal lining are provided with outwardly-extending curved flanges 12, which are bent over and lie upon the sills of the doors and are held in place by the subsills 1S. It will thus be seen that it will be impossible for any water to enter untions are arranged adjacent to each other and directly over the trough in the metal lining.- These sections when desired maybe swung upwardly for the purpose of cleaning, painting, or repairing the sheet-metal lining or for ventilating the same and when in position will effectually prevent damage to the sheetmetal lining by the movement of the barrels,
Having thus described my invention, what- I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. In a car of the character described, the combination with the car-floor, having a 1ongitudinal groove, of a sheet-metal lining entirely covering said floor and provided with a drain trou gh whichis located in said groove,
and a hinged floor covering said sheet-metal lining, substantially as set forth.
2. In a car of the character described, the combination with the car-floor, having alongitndinal groove, of a sheet-metal lining entirely covering said floor and provided with a drain-trough which is located in said groove, and a hinged floor covering said sheet-metal lining, said floor consisting of hinged sections, substantially as set forth.
3. In a car of the character described, the
a drain-trough which is located in said groove,
and a hinged floor covering said sheet-metal lining, said floor consisting of two rows of floor-sections, the outer ends of which are hinged to the sides of the car and the inner ends of which lie adjacent to each other and project over said trough, substantially as set forth.
4. In a car of the character described, the
combination with the car-floor, having a low r gitndinal groove, of a sheet-metalliningentirely covering said floor and provided with a drain-trough which is located in said groove, and having upwardly-projecting side flanges adapted to rest against the studding of the car at its sides and ends and having ontwardly-' projecting flanges to rest over the door-sills of the car, and a hinged floor covering said sheetmetal lining, said floor consisting of two rows EDWARD HAAS] Witnessesi BERNARDINA MENGER, W. A. MENGER.
