Application riled February 7, 1908. Serial No. 414,849.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known tbs: I. RICHARD Jonas, mechanic-al engineer, :1 subject of the German Em eror, and a resident of Berlin-(harlotten urg, Germany, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Vessels for Conveying Materials, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in vessels for conveying materials, such as riveted metal trans awning-boxes and cars and the To ena le such ve;'-\ els to be readily seizedand tipped or otherwise handled by t .ho workmen the rim has been provided either with ordinary angle1rons, or with hand-rails whose web, attached to the edge of the vessel, is nulhgd atthe top. Such hand-rails, however, are found to be wanting in rigidity, so time i'he edge of 1.

liable to get. discerned in the course of lime. I overcome this 55 3??? by {he employmemiof angle-iron of firewall-known bulbous type,

i which I apply to rho ves el in such manner that the terminally isnlbed web cbnst-itutes a ledge. The. advsmages of such bulb angleiron over ordinary angle-iron are obvious. The ledge. or flange presented can be much more readily grasped by the workman withue vessel is out there being any danger of his hands getting injured; and rile angledron eon be run completely round a aransporting-vessel of the usual rectangular shape, right over the corners, without an artieular caution haying to be observed or special machinery or tools employed. \Vit'n culinary angle-iron the, protruding web is exaremely apt to get torn oil. This is obviated by my invent-ion, \rliielrinsuresvsuperior srrrength and greater ('UIlYflh ienco in nmnipnlnrion. ln theevent of the bulbedangle-iron geiting bent over, the bulb yields sullicient material toprevent the web from being resiled oil or fi actured, evtpl though strained and siren-bed to a u-rtzn extent. 'lhus boil) snglwirou nombinos the advantages of ordinary 'angloiron in point of rigidity, with those of prior bulbous handrails in respect to handy shape and eapabilil y of bending.

One form of construction of the. iu'veulion is illustrated intheaeeompunyiugdrau'iuggin 5C- which the figure is a l'ragmeuta-l cross-sectional view.

1, is the top portion of the wall of ihetraosporting'\'essel, to which there is applied the \reb, b, of the angle-iron, whose outwardly 5i projecting web, (1-, terminates in a bulb, a. he web, I), may be furnished on the insidewith a shoulder, 11, which buits against the rim of the wall, 1'. The angle-iron may be bolted, riveted, welded, or otherwise scoured 6 clare that. what 1 claim is 1. A transporting-vessel, and an angle 7 v iron secured by its one web to the outer edge thereof, while its other web projects outwardly and is terminally bulbed, substantially as and for the purpose described.

'2. A i-ransportingvessel, and an angle- 7 iron passing. around all the walls of the same and secured by its one web to the outer edge Ahereof, while its other web projeris out-- \vardly and is terminally l)llll)( ll, sul'istautially as and for the purpose described. f 3. A transportbig-vessel, and a roundbaeked angle-iron serured by ils web to the outer edge thereof, while its other ouawardly projecting \veb eurvesdmvnxvardly and is terminally bulbed, subslaulially as andjor the purpose dose-ribed. e
