INTEGRAL LOCOMOTIV-MATTRESS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 16, 1909.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known't-hat I, RICHARD V. MATTISON, Jr., of Upper Dublin townshi in the county of Montgomery and State o Pennsylvania, have. invented certain new and useful Improvements in Integral Locomotive-Mattresses, whereof the following is a specification', reference `being had to the accompanying drawings.
My improvements relate to a non-heat conducting and incombustible mattress'formed entirely of mineral ingredients and so formed, constructed and arranged as to be adapted as anintegral structure to be inserted between the boiler` of a locomotive engine and its jacket. The advantage of having a heat insulating substance, which is thus customarily inserted between the boiler and jacket formed as an integral structure, is that when the locomotive is under 'reairs the `removal and replacement of the insulating means is rendered much more easy. All this is accomplished without substantial loss to the efficiency ofthe heat insulating means.
In the accompanylng drawings, Figure I represents a view in side elevation of a locomotive boile'r'to which my improvements have been applied, the portion of the mattress between the broken lines X, X, being indicated as removed in order to show a longitudinal section of the, mattress atl the region between the broken lines. Fig. II, represents a transverse section through the same on the line II, 1I, of Fig. I, lookin in the direction of the arrows. represents a transverse section through the same on the line III, III, of Fig. I, looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. IV, is a View in elevation of the rear end of the boiler, which is at the right hand side in Fig. l. Fig. V, is a detailed fragmentary sectional view showing the internal construction of the mattress.
The mattress is formed as a single integral structure properly cut and shaped to be placed over and around the entire portion of the boiler which is to be insulated andA covered by its jacket. .For this purpose it is shaped as follows The sheets 1, 2, 3, and 4, are formed of sufiicien length and width to roperly surround the res ective ortions of) the boiler corresponding t ereto.
hese sheets are provided with openings,
which fit around lugs or brackets upon the side of the boiler used for supporting purposes. Sheet 2, is provided with an opening forl the reception of the steam dome 10. Sheet 4, is provided with openings for the reception of various pipes and mechanism on 'the top of the boiler Within the cab. The back head of the boiler or fire box face is covered with a sheet 16, also united to the Vremainder of the mattress in any suitable manner. This sheet is provided with numerous openings for the reception of the throttle valve, steam ages, and so forth, as clearly seen in Fig. I Y
The various sheets are qullted at intervals as indicated at 20, in Fig. V. Themat tress is maintained in position upon the boiler by means of asbestos tape or metallic.
bands 22, as clearly indicated in Fig. I.
Upon the sheet 2, is secured the tube 9, which,l
tits aroundy the steam dome 10, and is secured imposition by `means of asbestos tape or metallic bands 24.
The entire structure consists of two layers 14, 15, of an asbestos textile fabric withI a plurality of layers 17, 18, 19, of asbestos ber felt interposed, the whole being formed into a mattress lby sewing the edges 25 and 26 of the textile fabrics together and by quilting atintervals. j
T he textile fabric may be of the ordinary woven asbestos cloth, but for the sake of strength and permanency I prefer to employ a reinforced wire cloth, in which fine steel or other metallic wire is woven along with the asbestos thread.
.The interior of the structure is formed of a plurality of layers of asbestos fiber felt. This is a homogeneous mass of fibrous asbestos sufficiently cemented together by silicate of soda, ,or plaster of paris to enable it to maintain its shape, but not to the exclusion of a large amount of air, filling the interstices between the asbestos fibers. As* bestos fiber felt is usually furnished in sheets about three feet wide, and of indefinite length, and for the purpose of preparing my mattress I preferably employ three layers of this fiber felt arranging the strips in adjacent layers, so as to run at right angles and break joints. B thus employing asbestos ber felt instea of loose or tlocculent asbestos for the interior packing of the mattress, I prevent the jarringmotion of the locomotive from shaking the asbestos fiber crease-the amountJ of imprisoned air space.
The asbestos ber felt sheets are ordinarily about three-'eighths of an -inch in thickness, so that three of them when quilted together, produce a mattress of about one inch in Having thus describedpmy invention, claim c l. An .asbestos locomotive -mattress consisting of outer Vlayers of asbestos textile fabric and a plurality of :inner layers ofv sheets ofasbestos fiber felt,feach sheet of liber felt "consisting of a homogeneous mass of fibrous lasbestos sufiiciently cemented t0- gether to enable it to maintain its shape, yet
' retain a considerable amount of air in its l `interstices', the textile coveri-n being united fabric and a plurality of inner layers of sheets of asbestos ber felt, each s eet*` of liber felt consisting of a homogeneous mass' of fibrous asbestos -s uficiently cemented to-l gether by silicate of soda, orplaster of pai-is, to enable it to maintain its shape, yet retain a considerable amount of air in its interstces, the textile covering being'united at its edges and the whole beingfurther united by quilting.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed nalne, atPhiladelphia, Pennsyl- Vania, thls fth da of August, 1907.
