- Toad whom it may concern.-
perspect1ve, showin I Be it known that I, SPENCER OTIS, a citi-' zen of the United States, residing at Chicago,
in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, havemvented certain new and useful Improvements in Railway-Cars, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates specifically to freightcars; and it consists in an improved carline b and bent to form supporting-hooks e, which are attached to the s1 es of the car by suitable bolts d. Between these straps are fillof the matal this arrangement I ing-pieces c of wood or other suitablematerial, which are adapted to receive fastening devicesfor securing the roofing to the carline. As shown, there is one of these pieces for each side of the car extending from a line longitudinally central thereof to the sides of the car. These fillingieces are held between the straps by b0 ts d, and they are further supported by U-shaped braces f, the bolts d passing throu h the U-shaped braces and straps and the fi ling-pieces, as clearly .shown in Fig. 4. At the central point of the carline, at the junction of the filhn -pieces 0,
'is arranged an elongated U-shape brace f and secured in like manner to the straps and filling-pieces. It will be observed that the filling-pieces roject slightly above the edge licstra s. It will be seen .by ave produced a simple through These straps are twisted at" and exceedingly strong support-for the roof to which the roofing may be easily secured and one which will so braceand strengthen the car as to add greatly to its resistance in case of collisions.
I claim '1. A carline comprising parallel straps inclined downwardly from then middle oint toward-each end and secured. to the si es of the car, filling-pieces extending one from .each side of the car to a line longitudinally central thereof and held between the straps secured thereto by suitable fastening means, and an elongated U-shaped brace secured to the straps and filling-pieces at the junctionpoint of the latter.
2. A railway-car having side plates and a combined brace and carline comprising parallel fiat metallic stra s twisted at their ends and formed into hoo portions lapped over the side plates, means for securing the hook portions-to the side plates, and a filling-piece secured between the metallic straps.
3. In a railway-car having side plates, a com'bmed brace and carhne com rislng arallel flat metallic straps bent at t ieir enc s to form hooks engaging the-side'plates, a fillingpiece secured between the straps, and U- shaped clips secured to the straps to support the filling-piece.
4. In a railway-car having side plates, a combined brace and carline comprlsing flat metallic straps conforming to the shape of the car-roof, said straps being bent at their ends toform hooks engaging the side plates,
a filling-piece secured between the straps,
and an-elongated U-shaped central brace secured to the straps, substantially as described.
