SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 782,610, dated February 14, 1905.
Application filed December 26, 1902. Serial No. 136,706.
To all whom/it Hwy concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE I. KING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Middletown, county of Dauphin, State of Pennsyl- Vania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Metallic-Car Construction,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which.
Figure 1 is a plan view,partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of Fig. 2 on line 3 3. Fig. 1 is a fragmentary view of a portion of one of the center sills. Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of a modification, and Fig. 6 is a sectional view on the line 6 6 of Fig. 5.
This invention relates to improvement in metallic-car construction, particularly with relation to the point of connection of the bodybolster's or transoms and the center sills; andit ..consists in features of novelty relating thereto, all as hereinafter more fully described, and
specifically pointed out in the claims.
The object of the invention is to so unite the several cooperating parts as to maintain the standard height of a car wherein the invention is embodied and provide therefor such firm connection that the finished car will be of greater strength and equally as capacious as others of less strength wherein the invention is not used.
Referring to the drawings, A indicates the center sills, which are represented as channels .mitting the-center sill to be located relatively as low as is requisite in car construction if the draft-gear is to be attached thereto and at the same time permit of using deep center" sills of greater strength than have been heretofore used, which center sills in this construction instead of resting on the transoms, as heretofore,partially surround the-same, as best shown in Fig. 3. Serving the double purpose of strengthening said sills at the cut-away portion and as a connecting means between the sills and transoms are angles 6, the portion 6 whereof is riveted to the webs 1 of the sills, and the portion 6 is riveted to the cover-plate 7 of the transoms and through the filler-blocks 8 to the vertical webs thereof, said filler-blocks 8 beinglocated, as shown, for the purpose of permitting a less abrupt bend of the angles 6 than if such filler-blocks were not employed, while the angles 10, bolted to the web of the bolster and to the lower flange 2 of the sill, also serve to unite such parts and support said filler-blocks.
In the modification shown in Fig. 5 the sill is cut away in the same manner and a modified form of body-bolster is used,,in which lateral flanges 11 project from the web portion 12 thereof, while a cover-plate 13, equal in width with said flanges, is seen red thereupon, thereby leaving a comparatively greater space between the web of the bolster and the vertical edge of the web 1 of the sill. In this construction an angle is riveted through the flange 14 to the Web 1 of the sill and through the companion flange 15 to the cover-plate 13 and the flanges 11 of the modified bolster. Straps 16 are connected to the webs 1 of the sills and to the filler-blocks 8 and also to the webs 12 of the said bolster, whereby the parts are securely held in position against displacement, thes aid sill being properly reinforced at its cut-away portion thereby.
Secured to the upper portion of the bolster are angles 17, over 'which rest the side sills and intermediate sills, and where wood sills 18 are used thereat they are secured in position by bolts passing through said sills and angles.
I am aware that minor changes in the construction, arrangement, and combination of the several parts of my invention may be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without in the least departing from the nature and principle of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
