DANIEL S. BAILEY, OF RANTOUL, ILLINOIS.
GRAIN-CAR DOOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 13, 1907.
Application filed May 26,1906. Serial No. 318,913.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DANIEL S. BAILEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rantoul, in the county of Champaign and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Grain-Car Doors, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to grain car doors, and its primary object is to provide a novel and highly useful device of this character which is provided with a gate de signed to be opened to permit a. quantity of the grain to be withdrawn to release the pressure against the door, after which the door may be easily removed.
A further object of the invention is to providea device of the character stated which is simple and durable, and which may be manufactured and sold at a coinparatively low cost.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of the construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a grain car door constructed in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings by reference numerals, 2 designates a grain car door, the panels of which are se cured together by inner cleats 4 and outer cleats 5. A portion of one of the panels of the door is removed to provide an elongated opening which extends longitudinally of the door, and which is located between the outer cleats 5. This opening is located at a point adjacent the lower end of the door and is designed to permit a quantity of the grain to be removed to release the pressure against the door so as to permit the door to be readily removed, after which the remaining contents of the car may be removed. The opening is closed by an outwardly swinging gate 6, which may be constructed of that portion of the panel removed to provide the open ing. The gate has one of its ends secured to the door by a hinge 7, that leaf of the hinge which is secured to the door being located between one of the panels and one of the outer cleats 5 to prevent any pressure upon the gate from disengaging the same from the door. The gate 6 is secured in closed position by a bar 8, which is hingedly secured to the other cleat 5 by a hinge 9 to be I swung into and out of engagement with the free end of the gate 6. The bar 8 has its free end provided with an opening 10, through which projects a keeper 11 secured to the outer surface of the gate 6. A hasp 12 is secured to the outer surface of the bar 8 and is adapted to be swung over the keeper 11, after which a pin 13 is passed through the keeper 11 in advance of the hasp 12 to lock the bar 8 in position to retain the gate 6 closed, said pin being secured to the door 2 by means of a chain 14.
When it is desired to remove the door, the bar 8 is swung clear of the gate 6, after which the gate is opened to permit a quantity of the grain to be withdrawn, thus relieving the pressure against the door, after which the door may be easily opened.
A cleat 6 is secured to the inner surface of the door to limit the inward movement of the gate and thus prevent the hinge 7 from being broken.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and mode of operation of the invention will be understood without a further extended description.
Changes in the form, proportions and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
Having fully described and illustrated my invention, what I claim is:
A grain car door having cleats on its outer side and a pressure relieving opening between said cleats, a relief gate fitted to close in said opening and lie in the plane of the door, hinges connecting one end of the relief gate of the door hearing on the outer side of the latter and extending between the door and one of the cleats, a bar hinged to the other cleat of the door at the end furthest from the hinged end of the gate and disposed to bear partly on the outer side of the door and partly on the outer side of the gate. said bar having an opening and a hinged hasp to cover such opening, said gate having a keeper to pass through the opening in the door and also through the hasp, and a pin for insertion in said keeper and to bear on the outer side of the hasp, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
DANIEL S. BAILEY.
