Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 2, 1907.
Application filed April 4,1907. Serial No. 6 ,284,
To hll whom it may concern: v
Be it known that I, Louis A. Hosea, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis,.in the State oi Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful AngleeCock Holder for Railway-Cars, of which the following is such aiull, clear, and exact descriptionas will enable any one skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. 1 1 =1 H The angle cocks which are placed'at the juncture of the train pipe and hose pipe connection in air brake systems often become lost from being unscrewed from the train pipe, or forcibly pulled therefrom by reason of the brakemeii neglecting touniasten the hose pipe coupling when the hose are uncoupled.
v Theobject of my invention is to provide a holder of i the simplest possible form, whichwill prevent both the rotation'and the longitudinal movement of the angle cock, so as not 'only to prevent its being lost, but also insuring its-inclination at the proper angle so that the hose pipe'coupling may readily be connected and dis- .connected.
in the accompanying drawings, which illustrate two forms of holders made in accordance with my invention, Figure 1 is a view on a reduced scale, showing two of the holders applied to the end sills of a pair of railway cars, together with the hose pipe connections be- I tween the cars. Figs. 2 and 3 are a irontand side view, 530
respectively, of the holder detached from the car. Fig. 4 isa view similar to Fig. 2 but showing the angle cock in position, and Fig. 5 is a. longitudinal sectional view, showing a slight'modification.
Like marksotreference refer to similar parts in the several views of thedrawings. v 10 are the angle cocks, each of which is provided with a hexagonal head 11 at the point where the angle coclcis connected to the train pipe 12. Secured to the oppositc end of the angle cock from the train pipe 12 is the hose pipe 13.
14 are the hose pipe couplings ior connecting two of the hose pipes 13. Each of the holders consist of a pocket formed of the peripheral portion 16 and front and rear flanges '17 and 18 respectively. Each of the pockets is inclined so as to insure the proper inclination of the angle cock, and, as each of the pockets embraces four sides of thehexagonal head ll and conforms thereto, it prevents the rotation of the angle cock, while the flanges l7i and 18 prevent its longitudinal movement with respect to the car. The rear flange 18 is extended upwardly so as to form. a pair of lugs 19, provided with bolt holes 20, by means of which the holder may be secured by means of bolts 21 to the end'sill 22 ot the car, as shown in Fig. 1. This construction is adapted for use in case the train pipe passes through the end sill, as shown in Figs 1 In case the train pipe passes below the end sill, as shown in Fig. 5, rearwardly extending lugs 23 may be provided in place of the upwardly ex tending lugs 19. In Fig. 5, I have shown these lugs 23 as secured to the flange oi the end sill 22 by means of rivets 24.
It will be evident that, while my holder is of the simplest possible construction, consisting of but a single piece of metal, it effectively prevents the angle cock both from rotation and from longitudinal movement with respect to the car, thus not only preventing its being lost, but also insuring its proper inclination. While my holder effectively prevents rotation of the angle cock, its construction is such as to allow of a slight rocking' movement of the cock in a substantially vertical plane. This rocking of the angle cock is caused by the cambcring of the car in loading and unloading and ii 7 provision is not made for such rocking, it is liable to break either the holder or the angle cook. The fact that my holder only partly embraces the angle cock, leaving the upper part free permits of the necessary movement.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire .to secure by Letters Patent of the, United States is:
1. In an angle cock-holder, the combination with a pocket adapted to receive the head of the angle cock and prevent its rotation, of means for securing said pocket to a car.
2. In an angle cock holder, the combination with a pocket adapted to receive the head of the angle cock and prevent its rotation, and also provided with flanges for preventing the longitudinal displacement of the cock, of means for securing sald pocket to a car.
3. In an angle cock holder, the combination with an angularly disposed pocket 'edapted to receive the head otthe angle cock and prevent its rotatlon, of means for securing said pocket to a car.
4. In an angle cock holder, the combination wlth a pocket formed of 'a single piece of metal and rdapted to embrace the head of an angle cock and prevent its rotatlon, otfastenlng means for said pocket integral therewith.
5. The. combination with an angle cock provided with a heiragonal head, of a flanged angle pocket embracing four sides of said head and preventing its rotatlon, and means for securing said pocket to a car.
i 6. The combination with an angle cock provlded with a. hexagonal head. of an angularly disposed flanged pocket formed of a single plece of metal and embracing four sides of said head and preventing its rotation, and lugs formed integral with said pocket for securing it to a car.
7. The combination with a railway car, or. an angle cock holder-carried by said car and comprising a pocket adapted to receive the head of the angle cock and prevent its rotatlon, sold pocket only partially surrounding the head of said angle cock. whereby the movement of said angle cock in a substantially vertlcal plane is permitted.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and afflxed my seal in the presence of the two subscribing witnesses. I
