Patented Sept. 19, 1905.
Application filed November 19, 1994. Serial No. 233,442.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL R. HELoK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grayville, in the county of White, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grain-Doors for Cars; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to railway-cars, and more particularly to grain-doors therefor, and has for its object to provide a door which may be attached to any freight-car and which may be used to prevent the passage of grain therefrom at the bottom of the door when the car is being loaded.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description, and it Will be understood that modifications of the specific construction shown may be made and any suitable materials may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several.
views, Figure 1 is a view showinga portion of a freight-car provided with the present invention. Fig. 2 is a view showing the rearward side of a door as it appears from within the car. Fig. 3 is a view showing the side of the casing removed and the door lying within the casing. Fig. 4 is a vertical section on line 4 4 of Fig. 3 and showing the casing complete. Fig. 5 is a top plan View of the guide-rail andillustrating the casing and door in section.
Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a freight-car 5 having the usual side door 6. Secured against the inner face of thewall of the car at one side of the door and lying with its edge flush with the edge of the door there is a casing 7, which consists of a side wall 8, a top 9, and a rearward end 10, the end and top being provided with cars 11, by whichthe casing is secured to the wall of the car with suitable bolts 12. Disposed upon the floor of the car within the casing 7 and resting with one end against the end 10 of the casing there is a guide-rail 13, which extends across the door 6 and which is provided with a central longitudinal groove 14 in its upper face, which receives the lower edge of a sliding panel 15. Secured to the forward edge of the side 8 of the casing there is a strip 16, which is removably attached thereto and which extends beyond the inner face of the wall 8 and projects over the space between this wall and the wall of the car, the lower portion of the edge of this strip being en gaged in a notch 17 in the edge of the guiderail 13, thus preventing longitudinal and lateral movement of the rail, while upward movement thereof is prevented by the-weight of the panel 15; Secured to the end of the panel are vertical members 18, which project. beyond the sides thereof, these members resting at one edge against the inner face of the wall of the car. The member 18, which is secured to the rearward end of the panel l5, also prevents entire withdrawal of the panel from the casing 7 through engagement of the strip 16 by this member, the strip extending into the path of movement of the member, as illustrated.
It will thus be seen that a grain-door is provided which may be quickly and simply attached to any car, and the arrangement of the guide-rail is such that it may be easily removed individually to permit of cleaning the car, this being accomplished by removing the strip 16 and withdrawing the guide 4 rail from the casing 7.
The panel 15 is provided with an' opening 15 at its lower edge, having a closure 19, which may be removed to permit of the passage of the grain resting against the panel through the opening 15"to remove the pressure of the grain from the panel in order that the latter may be slid into the casing.
What is claimed is The combination with a freight-car having a doorway therein, of a guide-rail removably disposed upon the floor of the car, said rail extending across the doorway and beyond one side of the latter, a casing secured to the in ner face of the wall of the car at the side of the door at which the guide-rail projects, said vcasing including aninner wall lying inwardly of the guide-rail, a vertical strip removably secured to the end of said wall of the casing adjacent to the door and projecting in the direction of the wall of the car, a panel slidably disposed to the guide-rail for movement to lie within the casing or in position to close the doorway of the car, said guide-rail having a notch therein into which the portion of the strip extending beyond the wall In testimony whereofI aflix my signature in presence of' two Witnesses.
