CORNER-ANCHOR FOR CARS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 9, 1909.
Application filed July 11. 1908. Serial No. 143,102.
To all to]: one. it may concern:
Be it known-that I, Halter E. Hsnnoox, a citizen of the United States, residing in Cleveland, Ohio, have invented certain Improvements in Comer-.hichors for Cars, of which the following is a spec-mention.
My invention relates to certain improvements in the corner construction of cats, particularly of the passenger type, in which a side truss rod is used which extends from one end of the car to the other. In this trpe of car it is (lihictilt to properly strcnghen the corner and at the some time use a truss rod which will have sufiicient anchorage. and the object of my inren'tion is to so desi ti corner and truss rod anchor the: the parts will be readily held together and the truss. rod will have a firm and secure anchorage, as fully described hcleaiter in the accompanying drawings :F igure 1. is a side view showing sullicieut of a frame of a passenger car to illustrate my invention; Fig. 2, is a sectional plan Tiewon the line 2-2, Fig. 1, illustrating the corner; Fig. 3, is a sectional plan view on the line 3-3, I; Fig. -i. is is vertical sectional view on the zine -'l4,Fig. 2 Fig. 5, is a perspective view showing my improved comer anchor detached from the timbers; Fig. 6, is a set:- tional view of the corner anchor. similar to Fig. 3 with the sills omitted; Fig. 7, is a sect-ional View of the anchor, similar to Fig. 4 with the sills and the comer posiomitted; Fig. 8, is a Ipets )entire View looking atthe outside or t e corner, showing the sills and uprights in silica; and Fig. 9, is aaspeciwe new 0 the inside of the corner s on in A is the body portion of a passe or car, which may be formed in any suit-ab e man ner, but in this 1; of can there is the side sill B, the end sill g? and the corner posts D and E. These elements mustbe securely attached to each other at, the lower corner so that the car framing will he held absolutely square.
F is a truss rod situated at each side of the car and extending nally from each lower corner as illustrated in Fig. 1 over struts f placed at intervals on the lower sillB. This rod materially stifiens the sideframing of the car and is'purticularly essential in la; roars. The trussrod should 'elso he unchore "etit-he D ner ut acts as a. bracefor the corners v f. I t 'eeouring-boththeend and 1 is acorner anchor shaped in the form of a box having an o eningi at one side into which projects the en sill U and an opening at one end i int-o which projects the side sill B. The side sill is mortised at b for the reception of a tenon c on the end sill C. us illustrated clearly in Figs. 4 and 5.
In the up or plate of this corner anchor are two quat rangular openings 2" and i for the reception of tenons and e on the corner post-s D and E res l Qt-ital and these corner osts are held down 0. o the anchor by bolts and e respectively, \Yhldll have their upper ends bent so as to enter notches in the corner posts and are firmly bolted to the corner posts as shown; the round shanks of the 01 s passing throu h holes i in the upper and lower Jlates of the anchor I and through the side sill B, as clearly shown in Fig. l of the drawings.
Projecting from one side of the corner onchor l is a late I which rests a ainstthe inner side of the end sill and the is lirml; secured to this plate I by bolts c which Pass through openings in the sill and in t hep ate. as clean-1y illustrated in Fig. 2. 'i he side out is secured to the corner anchor bv bolts 6' which pass through the plate I of the anchor and through the openin s in the sill as illus framed in Fig. 3. B3 t construction the end and side sills are firmly secured together and to the anchor and the corner posts and E are firmly secured to the two sills by the tenons e and d passing through the o e "s i and i and into the mortises b in t -he si e sill B The brace rod F extends diagonally through on opening in the side sill B and through an opening 1? in the rojectiou P at; the bottom of the corner one or I and'a nutf is apglied to the threaded end of the anchor to and this nut. can be adjusted; so as to bringsuflicient tension on the rod for it to act as a brace for the side sillB, at the some time hol the corner anchor -I ri idly onto the side s and cans the and ate 1 of the anchor to bear 3* ainst t 'e sill 0. Thus by this construction 0 anchor Ifim ly hold the several part-s rigidly in position.
1. The combination in a c anchor haying sockets, a side sill the anchor, on end the tmohorv I into a mortise on the or of a. corner adapted to sill adapted to extend into i ha, 13a tenon extending ylie sill, and means for-x the side sill to the corner anchor, the end of the corner being 3 single casting open at one side and one end,
solid so as to hold the end sill in position.
2. The combination in acar, of a corner anchor having sockets, a side sill extending through one end oi the corner anchor and resting against the end plate thereof, an end sill extending into another socket at right anchor having top and bottom plates, said angles to the first inentioned socket and hav ing a tenon adapted to a mortise in the sidesill, a corner post resting upon the anchor and having a tenon extendinginto aho ening in the anchor, and means for holding t 1e corner post onto the anchor. 3. flhe combination in a corner post, of an anchor having sockets therein, a side sill extending through one socket and resting a ainst the end late of the corner, an end si 1 extending t rough another socket at right angles to the side sill, means for securing the side and end sills to the anchor, two corner posts, one situated back of the-other, each corner post having a tenon, said anchor having an opening in its upper plate through which the said tenons extend, and means for securing the two corner posts to the anchor. 4. The combination in a car, of a corner anchor, a side sill extending into the anchor and secured thereto, an end sill extending into the anchor and also secured thereto, corner posts resting upon the anchor and having tenons adapted to openings in the top plate of the anchor, with a truss rod arranged diagonally and passing through the side sill and through an opening in the bottom plate of the anchor, and means for securing the said truss rod to the anchor.
5. A corner anchor for a car made in a with a flange projecting from the anchor at +116 side of the opening and having two open-- ugs in the top plate, and having a diagonal passage in the bottom plate.
6. 'l he combination in a car, of a corner top plate having two openings, the bottom plate having a diagonal opening, the anchor being shaped to receive the side and end sills, the side sills being mortised at one side and having two inortises at the top near the end so that when the sill is in osition the two niortises will he in line wit 1 the opening in the top plate, an end sill having a tenon at the end adapted to the mortise in the side sill.,two corner posts, one situated back of the other and each having a tenon adapted to the openings in the top plate of the anchor and extending into inortises in the top of the side sill, a tie bolt secured to each corner post and extending through an opening in the anchor and in the side sill, said tie bolts securing the corner posts firmly to the anchor, with a diagonal truss rod extending through the side sill and through the inclined opening in the anchor.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
