To all whom it may concern:

Be it linown that l, ln'rnn M. KLING, ot Pittsburg, Northside, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania` a ritizen ofthe United ,L -States, have invented certain new and useful linproveinents in Passenger-(jars, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reterence being had to the accompanyingV drawings` in which like characters refer to like parts, and in which# Figi-ire l is an end elevation of the seat structure in passenger car, showing also portions ot the car framing; Fig. 2, is a vertical section on the line '2-2, Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line Ilml, Fig. l.

:in object of the present invention is to provide a seat structure of o'reaty sim licitv rigidity and strength or stitl'ness and at toe saine time retainingneatness in appearance.

Referring'now in detail to the drawings, i represents a portion otf the -oar undertraine7 2 a portion ot' the car side structure, 3 one ot a series of seat postspt the seat cross-bearers. Side struc lu're 2 and under structure l are connected by angles 5. Cross-bearers l slant dowmvardly toward and are riveted to side structure 2 by down wardly turned flanges '-tA. Cross-bearers t are also riveted to the upper ends of posts 3.

t3 is an intermediate sill connecting the upper ends of the several posts 3'.

T is an outer sill connecting` the outer ends ot cross-bea17ers` Li. Sills (l and 'T are both angular insertion. Sills (3 are connected to cross-bearers .4 by downwardly extendii'lg flanges el on crossbearers 4t.
