STREET-CAR.
Specification. of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 19. 1907.
Application filed August 28. 1907- Serial No- 390.420.
To all whom it may concern:
Belt known that l, \VnJJAM P. h'IlClIEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, Manhattan, county and State of the car can grasp the handles only when facing forward. In this way accidents resulting from passengers stepping oil baclnvard are effectively preventei In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a side elevation of part ol a car embodying my inve'ntionj Fig. 2 a horizontal section on i line 2-2, Fig. 1; Fig. 3 a front view, partly in section, of one of the osts and adjoining parts; Fig. 4 an enlarged horizontal section on line 44, Fig. 3; Fig. 5 a similar section on line 55, Fig. 3, and Fig. 6 a horizontal section of a modification.
The posts 10 supporting the roof 11 of a car are arranged opposite the center of each of the transverse seats or benches 12.- At a distance from each post and alined therewith .down on that side of the car which is to be closed. Each handle 13 is partly encompassed by a curved shield 15 mounted con- -centrically to the handle and movable relatively thereto. As shown, each shield is pivoted to the handle by means of collars 16' that loosely surround the handle and are provided with arms 17 to which the shield is secured. A spiral spring 18 engaging with its ends the parts 13, 17 respectively, tends to draw the shield into contact with the outer front edge of its post 10. In this way the handle in front, the back of which remains exposed. At its upper end shield 15 I is made tapering as at 19, and provided with.
When rail 14 is raised, itwill clear shield 1.5 and permitspring 18 to swing the shield against post 10. At the same time grooved plate 23 is brought intoengagement with nose 22 and therebylocks collar 21 and consequcntly shield .15 against rotation. When rail 14 is lowered, nose 22 will first be liberated to unlock the shield and then the latter will be partly rotated by the engagement of rail 14 with inclinededge 20 to throw the shield 011' post- 10 and thereby provide the necessary space for accommodating the rail while being lowered.
In Fig. 6, the s )rings .18 are dispensed with, and all the s ields 15 located. onthe same side of the car are operatively connected to each other by' means of a shipping rod 24. -Whenthe direction of travel is to be changed, the shields are reversed by such rod, so that at the egress side or sides'of the car all the handles are covered at the front, and exposed at the rear.
I claim: i
1. A street car provided with a handle, and a shield that partly encompasses the handle and is movable relatively thereto, substantially as specified.
2. A street car rovided with a handle,
