EN D-POS-T POCKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 720,223, dated February 10, 1903.
Application filed July 3,1902. Serial No. 114.206. (No model.)
To all whom it muy concern,.-
Beit known that I, ANDREW CHRIsTIANsoN,
a resident of Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have iuvented a new and useful Im provementin End- Post Pockets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My invention relates to box and similar cars, 1o and more especially to the pockets for receiving the lower end of one end or side post; and
it consists in a pocket such as is hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is l5 a plan view of the end sill and of the postpocket. Fig. 2 is an end View of aportion of a box car, showing my invention applied thereto; and Fig. 3 is a cross-section through the end sill' and post pocket.
The car may be of any of the usual or desired constructions.
In the drawings it is illustrated as a boxcar having a metallic end sill, such as the rolled channel-beam l,placed,preferably, with z5 the flanges projecting inwardly, anda wooden superstructure, wooden posts 3, and framerods 4. The other necessary parts of a car have no relation to my invention and are not shown and need not be described. n
The lower end of the post 3 is stepped in the pocket 5. This pocket is formed as the casting and is provided with the usual recess 6 for receiving the lower end of the post, and in case a diagonal brace is also to be stepped 5 5 therein it will be provided with another recess for receiving the lower end of such brace. The pocket is provided with front and back depending iianges 8 and 9, the former extending over the edge of the fiange of the end sill 4o and the latter resting against the front face of said sill. These flanges elfectually prevent movement of the pocket transversely of the end sill, and thus take the shearing strain off the bolt. The pocket is also provided with 4,5 the perforated boss or lug 11, which fits into a hole or recess formed in the upper flange of the end sill, this lug preventing movement of the pocket lengthwise of the end sill. A hole l2 is provided at one side of the recess 6, 5o through which hole the framing-bolt 4 passes. The construction of end pocket shown is such that movement hereof both longitudialong the sides of the car and that the pocket l shown and described may be used in connection with wooden sills as well as with the metallic sill shown.
What I claim isl. A post-pocket comprising a body having a recess for receiving the end post and having a horizontal bottom face adapted to rest on the sill and having a flange extending below said bottom face and adapted to bear against one of the faces of the sill to prevent movement of the pocket transversely of said sill.
2. A post-pocket comprising a body having a recess for receiving the end of the post and having a flange extending below the bottom of the pocket and adapted to bear against one of the faces of the sill to prevent movement of the pocket transversely of said sill, said pocket also having a lug projecting from the under side thereof and adapted lto fit in a rea recess to receive the lower end of the post ANDREW CHRISTIANSON.
