SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 761,627, dated May 31, 1904. (lriginalapplieation filed August 21, 1908, Serial No. 170,258. Divided and this application fi led November 24, 1903. Serial To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL M. CuRwnN, a citizen of the United States, and aresident'of Villanova, county of Montgomery, State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cars, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to construct a car, more especially the so-called semiconvertible type, in' which sashes drop into pockets in the side of the car, using commercial forms of angle-irons to give increased strength, to reduce the cost, and secure compactness.
This is a division of application Serial No.- 170,258, filedAugust 21, 1903.
I have devised a car wherein the lower sashes are adapted to be lowered into pockets, the lower ends being below the floor-level.
The side posts or stanchions are bolted on the outside of the longitudinal angle-iron sill and to a horizontal truss-plank, which latter bears on the iron sill. Either the sill or trussplank may support the flooring, although in this divisional application Ishow and describe the flooring as supported by the sill.
For a more particular description of my invention referenceis to be had to the accornpanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective sectional view of a portion of the frame embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Throughout both views similar reference characters designate similar parts.
As my invention relates more particularly to the sill, stanchions, truss-plank, and flooring, all other parts which are not necessary to bring out this structure are omitted and only a portion of the side of the'frame is shown, it being understood that the frame (No model.)
may be of the conventional type except as herein noted. a
The side sill 1 comprises an inverted bulbiron with a flange 2 extending inwardly in.
one direction only, at its top, and a bulbflange 8 at its lower extremity, which also extends inwardly. To strengthen and reinforce this sill, a truss-board 1 is boltedby bolts 5 on the flange 2, so that the lower edge of this plate rests against a part of the horizontal surface, as shown in Fig. 1. "hestanchions 6 are bolted by bolts 7 to the vertical web of the side sill 1 and to the truss-board 4. These stanchions terminate a little above the lower edge of the sill 1 and are provided with sashgrooves 8. The lower ends of-the stanchions are united by boards 9, 10, and 11, the two latter being mortised in the outer edges, and the sheathing 12 on the outer surface of the car is secured to the stanchions 6 in the customary manner. The base-board 18 rests on the truss-board 4t and is recessed at 14, so as not to interfere with the bolts 5. From this it is obvious-that the side sill 1 is reinforced and stiffened by the truss-board 1 and stanchions 6, so that a very lightand rigid frame may be produced in this way.
The flange 2 extends far enough beyond the truss-board4 to readily support the floorsecured to the said horizontal web, a carsill, and car-flooring resting on said flange, stanchions, and bolts uniting said truss-plank, sill and stanchions.
3. Ina car or similar vehicle, an angle-metal side sill With stanchions fixed to its exterior surface and a plank secured to the lower side of said stanchions.
4. In a car or similar vehicle, an angle-metal side sill With a horizontally-disposed Web at IO its upper surface, grooved stanchions secured to the exterior of said sill and a plank fixed to the lower ends of said stancliions and adapted to form the bottoms of sash-pockets.
Signed in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, this 19th day of 5 November, 1903.
