CAR-DOOR HANGER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
No. 914, 11 1. Patented March 9, 1909.
Application filed. January 17, 1906. Serial No. 296,556.
a handle 0. A segmental locking rack P stands in line with the free end of lever M and a guard Q overlies the lever and rack, said guard serving to prevent undue displacement of the lever when it is moved out of engagement with one or the other of the looking teeth of the rack. Secured to the car at a point below the opening B are the usual door-retaining members or holding devices T 0 all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, JOEL E. HILL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lexington, in the county of Davidson and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Car-Door Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention pertains to improvements in car-door hangers, the construction and ad vantages of which will be hereinafter set R which, when the door is in its closed posiforth, reference being had to the annexed 1 tion, as shown in Fig. 1, embrace the lower drawings, wherein: end thereof and prevent it from swinging Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a 1 outwardly. The door-stop or abutment J is car or similar structure and a door, the latter provided with a staple S, a hasp T being sebeing shown in its closed position; Fig. 2 a cured to the car-door. The rod or pitman K perspective view thereof, the door being is likewise provided with a hasp, U. When shown open; Fig. 3 an enlarged detail vertithe door is closed and the pitman K lowered cal sectional view taken on the line 33 of the hasps T and U may be brought over the Fig. 1; Fig. 4 a detail view of the holding sta le S and secured by a single lock. This member or rack employed in connection wil maintain the door in its closed position, with the actuating member; and Fig. 5 a verpreventing the lever M from bein operated tical sectional view showing a modification of tnereby elevating rod or pitman 1%, and con se uently the door cannot be raised off of the ho ding or retaining members it. The rod F, together with the arms G and rock-shaft H, may be termed a rockingframe. When said frame is thrown upwardly (into the position shown in Fig. 2) by the depression of lever M, it will elevate the door to a slight eX- tent and throw the same outwardly away from the face of the car, or into the position indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3. The door may then be traversed along the rod or raii F, away from the opening B. In case the door should be jammed by freight bearing against the same, the lever may be drawn down and held by the second lug or tooth of the rack P, in which event the door will be thrown entirely clear of the holding devices R and may then be swung outwardly by hand as desired, so as to entirely withdraw it from contact with the contents of the car.
In Fig. 5 a modification of the invention is shown, in which the door, designated by C, passes into the opening formed in the side of car or similar structure. In this case, instead of connecting the actuating pitman or rod K directly to the end of the rod F, it is swiveled or pivoted to the outer ends of apair the structure.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and efficient mechanism for supporting a car-door so that it may be readily opened, notwithstanding the fact that the freight or contents of the car may be pressing against the inner side of the door and thereby tending to bind the same against the guards i or holders which normally retain the door in its closed position.
Referring to Figs. 1 to i inclusive, A designates the main body of the car, B the usual opening or door way, and C the door, having at its upper end two hangers or supports D, each of which is provided with apair of grooved rollers E that embrace a rod F. Said rod is carried by a series of arms G, the inner ends of which are rigidly connected to a rock-shaft H, journaled in suitable bearings I secured to the side of the car. While I have shown three arms G connecting the rockshaft and rod, it is evident that any number of such arms may be employed in oredr to insure the necessary support for the rod. Rod F at one end is extended beyond the dooropening and the vertically-disposed abut ment member or door-stop J, and pivotally connected to said extended end is a pitman K provided at its lower end with an elongated eye L. One end of an actuating lever I, fulcrumed at N, extends through said eye and makes a loose connection therewith, the opposite end of the lever being provided with the rock-shaft H and rod F, or to the intermediate arm G which connects said members. By throwing the pivotal point of the pitman or rod K outwardly away from the of arms V and W connected, respectively, to
shaft H, the parts will not be upon a dead said outer member; an actuating lever fulcrumed upon the car and likewise connected to the lower end of the pitman; a stationary fastening-device secured to the car; means carriedby the door cooperating with said device to hold the door closed; and means carried directly by the pitman, likewise cooperating with said fastening device when the door is closed for holding the pitman against movement.
2. In combination with a car or like structure provided with anopening; a doorstep or abutment located to one side of the opening; a frame pivotally connected to the car at a point above the opening; a door; a pair of hangers secured to the door; a pair of rollers carried by each of said hangers and embracing the outer member of the frame; a pitman fpivotally connected to the outer member 0 said frame and extending downwardly therefrom; means for actuating said pitman; a staple secured to the door-stop; a hasp mounted upon the door; and a second hasp carried by the pitman, both of said hasps being adapted and designed to pass over the staple, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. In combination with a car or like structure provided with an opening; a frame pivotally connected thereto at a point above the opening; a door; a pair of hangers secured to the door; a pair of rollers carried by each of said hangers and embracing the outer member of the frame; a pitman pivotally connected to the outer member of said frame and extending downwardly therefrom; a lever fulcrumed upon the car and likewise connected to the lower end ofsaid pitman; a rack for holding said lever in its various adjusted positions; a door-stop; a staple secured to said stop; a hasp carried by the pit man; and a second hasp mounted upon the door said hasps, when the door is closed and the pitman lowered, being adapted to be passed over the staple, substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOEL E. HILL. WVitnesses D. J. HILL, S. E. WILLIAMS.
