SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent are. vsaeeo, dated February 1e, 1on4. A Application filed November 2', 1903. Serial No- 179.543. (in model.)
'To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J OHN M. HANSEN, a resident of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pedestal-Trucks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My invention relates to railway-car trucks, and more especially to those known as pedestal-trucks.
The object of my invention "is to so construct a truck of this type as to'ntilize ordinary standard rolled shapes as far as possible.
Another object of my invention is to pro-.
vide a pedestal-truck whose side frame is composed of an ordinary rolled flanged beam having plain square ends;together with a pedestal of wroughtnsteel applied to the endsof said beam.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view of one end of a truck side frame constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is an end view of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4 4, Fig. 1, and Fig. 5 is a plan view of the pedestal reinforcing-bar.
Myimproved pedestal side 'frame is composed of an ordinary rolled flanged beam, such as the channel-beam 1 shown; This has its ends cut oil substantially square, as shown, and has attached to each end a pedestal coinposed of forged or rolled steel, preferably of a flanged bar, such as the T-bar 2, bent into U shape to form the pedestal-jaws and with the leg'B of the T-bar projecting outwardly and the flanges 4 and 5 projecting laterally. One leg of this U-shaped pedestal is riveted to the flat face of the channel-beam 1, and the outwardly-projecting flange on the opposite leg is preferably sheared off, as indicated at 6. To reinforce this pedestal, I provide a flanged bar, preferably an angle-bar 7, bent into approximately hook shape and having one flange riveted to the upwardly-projecting leg of the T-bar 2 at the top of the pedestal and to the web of the channel-beam 1. The other flange of this angle-bar projects laterally, as shown. A further reinforcement is furnished bymeans of a plate 9, riveted todshe laterally-projecting flange of the reinforcing-bar 7 and to the top flange of the channel-beam 1. The rein-. forcing-bar is slightly bent, as indicated at 10, so as to .fit closely against the web. of the channel-beam 1.
a The lower ends of the pedestal-jaws are closed by means of the spacingpiece 10 and are tied together by the usual pedestal-bolt 11, having the Washers 12. The vertical'legs of the T -har forming the pedestal jaws are trimmed off at their lower ends in. such a way that they will enter into slots formed in the washers 12, as indicated at13, thus preventing them from turning when the nuts are tightened up- The side frames of the truck may be con- 6 5 eated by means of any suitable transoms,
only one such transom being shown, and composed of a channel-beam 14:, connected to the side channel-beam 1 by means of an anglepiece 15 and a top connecting-plate 16.
It is obvious that various modifications may be made in the design of the truck side fra me shown. 'For instance, instead of a T-bar 2, such as shown, either one or'two angle-bars. might be used. Furthermore, the reinforcing-plate 9 may be omitted in case the anglehar 7 is chosen of sufficiently large section to be stifi enough by itself. I
It will be observed that the truck side frame shown omits the usual heavy and unreliable 8 castings usually employed in this type of trucks and that it is built up almost entirely of ordinary standard sections, which can be readily obtained in the market. Furthermore, the design is such that the rolled sections used are 5 cut ofl practically square, thus avoiding notching, shearing, and otherwise cuttingthe same away'and very largely reducing the amount of scrap, the only exception to this being at the lower ends of the pedestal-jawsQwhich are 9 shaped off diagonally, and also the outer jaw,
which has the outwardly-projecting leg of the T-bar slightly sheared off to lighten the same.
What I claim is- 1. A side frame for railway-trucks, comprising a rolled flanged beam cut' ofl" or fashioned square at its end, and a wrought-metal pedestal of substantially U shape having one 'leg thereof riveted to the end of said beam X and provided with alaterally-prOjecting flange surrounding the axle-box opening.
2. A side frame for ra1l'way trucks, cornprising a' rolled flanged beam ht off or fashbeam and provided with a laterally-projecting ioned square at its ends,
flangesurrounding the'axle-box opening.
3. A side frame for railway-trucks, comprising a rolled flanged beam having its ends cut off .or fashioned square, and a] pedestal oomprising'a rolled flanged bar bent into U shape and having an outwardlyrprojecting flange or leg riveted to the end of said beam, and having a laterally-projecting flange surrounding the axle-box opening. 4. A side frame for railway-trucks comprising a rolled flanged beam out off or fashioned'square at its ends, and a pedestal comprising a T-bar bent into U Shape with its leg projecting outwardly, said leg having one jaw riveted tothe end of said beam.
'5.-Aside frame for railway-trucks, com-v prising a'rolled flange'd beam out off or fashioned square at its ends, a wrought-metal ped estal of Q shape having one leg secured to'the end of said beam, and a reinforcing member secured to the upper portion of said pedestal and to: said beam.
6. A sideframe for railwa -trucks, c'ombeam cut ofl or, fasha U-shaped forgedsteei pedestal having an outwardlyprojecting flange riveted to said beam, and areinforeing bar riveted to the top of said pedestal and to v the side of said beam.
7 to the top of said 7. A side frame for railway-trucks comprising a rolled flanged beam having its ends cutofi or fashioned square, prising a flanged bar bent into U shape secured to the end of said beam, and a reinforcing member comprising aflang'ed bar riveted pedestal and thence extendxingdown diagonally and riveted to the web of said beam.
to the topof said a pedestai com- 8. A side frame for railway-trucks, comprisinga rolled ioned square" at its ends, a pedestal comprising a flanged bar bent into U shape and having a flange or web projecting outwardly and riveted to the end of said beam, and a reinforcing member comprising a flanged bar having one flange arranged vertically andriveted to the outwardly-projecting flange of said pedestal and to'the web of said beam and the other flange projecting laterally.
9. A side frame for railway-trucks, comprising a rolled channel-beam having its ends ,cut off or fashioned square, a pedestal comprising a flanged bar bent into U shape and having a flange orieg projecting outwardly and riveted to the flat face of' said channelbeam, and a reinforcing member comprising a' flanged beam'having avertical flange riveted to the outwardly-projecting flange at the top of the pedestal and to the flat face of the channel-beam. V g
10 A side frame for railway-trucks, com prising a flanged beam having its ends cut off or fashioned square, a U -shaped wroughtflanged bearncut off or fashsteel pedestal having one leg riveted to the a reinforcing-bar secured pedestal and extending diagonally downwardly and secured to the web of said beam, and a reinforcing-plate riveted to said reinforcing-bar and the top flange of said beam. i
11. A pedestal for railway-trucks comprising. a u shapedme' her having an outwardlyprojecting flange, the lower ends of which are diagonal, a pedestal-bolt extending through end of said beam,
the lower ends of the jaws of said U-shaped member, and washers for said bolt provided with slots arranged to receive the lower ends of the outwardly-projecting flange.
In testimony whereof I, the said JOHN "VI. HAnsEN, have hereunto set my hand.
