i VApplicaation filed April l, 1902- Serial No. 102,754. (No model-l 1"@ all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, J onN W. STEPHENSON, of Toledo, Lucas county, Ohio, have invented a new and useful Journal-Box, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specifica,- iion, in which- Figure l shows in plan View the top of a car journal-box constructed in accordance with my invention. tion on the line II II of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 isa verticaIsection of a modified construction of box with the lid applied thereto. Fig. 4 is a sectional plan View, the section being on the line IV IV of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 shows in vertical section, partly in side elevation, a journal-box embodying another modification of my invention. Fig. 6 is a Vertical section on the line VI VI of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the adjustable seat for the lug on the. box. Fig. 8 is a top plan view of a journal-box embodying another modification of my invention. Fig. 9 is a Vertical section on the line IX IX of Fig. 8. Fig. lO is a plan View showing a modified form of attachment, and Fig. 1l is a longitudinal section of the same.
In the manufacture of journal-boxes 0 railway-cars difficulty has been experienced because of distortion of position of the lugs, caused either in the casting of the box, or, in the case of malleable-iron boxes, in its subsequent annealing. In soine boxes the lugs will be nearer to or farther from the front of the box than they should be, or a little off the central line of the box,l and in the eort to remedy this by hammering the lugs into position many lugs are broken or weakened, and great loss results therefrom. Furthermore, it is often impossible to correct wholly the distortion of the lug, and when it is not .corrected the lid willnot fit the box accurately, and the purpose of the lid in excluding the dirt, &c., is thus defeated. These and other difficulties are obviated by my invention, which consists in providing the journal-box with a lug made in a separate piece and applied to the box after the latter has been cast, or in the case of malleable-iron boxes after they have been cast and annealed.
, place required.
Fig. 2 is a vertical secr In this way I am enabled to nish the box without interference from the presence of the lug and to apply the lug in exactly the 'Ihis cheapens greatly the manufacture, for the lugs are much easier to cast separately, and it affords the further advantage that I'can make all the boxes of perfect shape and uniform with each other, vand it renders unnecessary the hammering and bending which in many cases has heretofore been required.
In Figs. 1 and 2 I'show one form of myinyeut'ion. 2 is the box, 3 is the lug, and 4 is the pivot-pin hole. The lug is cast in a sepa' rate piece having a base 5 with dovetailed edges and made with a slight taper. It is adapted to fit in a corresponding socket between two inclined ribs 6 and when inserted therein is held tightly by a filler-piece 7, between the base and one of the ribs, and by the upsetting of themetal of one of the ribs into a notch 8 in the base. After the box has been cast I prefer to'grind its face smooth and then to apply .to it a templet of standard size and shape having a hole to determine the proper position of the axial line of the lug, which should be in the plane of the face of the box. The lug is tted in the socket and is adjusted to conform to the templet, and is then fixed in proper position by the filler-piece, and by driving the metal into the notchthe filler-piece may be on either side of the base 5, or a-small filler may be placed on each side, as may be required.
In Figs. 5, G, and 7 I show a modification in which I employ an adjustable lug-seat 9, which is tted to the top of the box between two ribs l0 IO, with dovetailed inner sides which extend longitudinally of the box, and this adjustable seat has like ribs 6', which extend transversely thereto and are adapted to receive the base 5 of the lug 3. The seat 9 is held in place preferably by upsetting the metal of one of the ribs 10 into a notch 1l in the seat, and the lug is held to the seat preferably in like manner by upsetting the metal of the lug into a notch 8'. I thus obtain a double adjustment of the parts, which enables me to get the lug exactly in the normal position.
In Figs. 8 and 9 I show a modification in IOO which the lug is held to the box by riveting it thereto. The lug is adjusted in place by means of the templet, the rivet-holes are drilled in the box in the proper position, and the rivets 12 are then applied, so as to x the lug to the box.
In Figs. 3 and 4 I show a modification in which I apply the lug by a single central rivet 13 to a lug-seat 9', which may be ap- .plied to the box preferably as explained with reference to the lug-seat 9 of Fig. 5 and may be held to the box byalip 14, which may be driven down into a notch or recess on the boxs surface. The lug` has a circular portion 15, which fits in a circular recess ou the lug-seat, so that when the lug is riveted thereto it has a swiveling motion, which enables the lug to turn and adjust itself to suit any irregularities in the angle of the face of the box or of the lug itself. This is a useful and important construction.
In Figs. 10 and l1 I show the rivets 17V as consisting of bosses or projecting pins cast integral with the box. These pins project through the lug and are upset to hold it in place.
In a pend ing application,SerialNo.121,516, I claim a journal-box having a socket, a lugseat adapted to be fitted to the socket in desired position, a lug adapted to fit on the seat in desired position, and a lid hinged to the lug, and I also claim the hinge-lug made separate from the box and secured thereto by a swivel connection.
Other modifications of my invention will be suggested to those skilled in the art, since What I claim is- 1. A journal-box, a lug made separate from the box and secured thereto in desired posi- JOHN W. STEPHENSON.
