PASSENGER-CAR.
Patented ltlfar.. t, 19rd..
. L Application led March 26, 190e. Serial No. 423,359.
ticularly thosejn which the passengers pay their fares as they enter the cars. In this type of car the conductor remains at a fixedpoint and the passengers are allowed to step onto the platform and after checar has started they pass into the body paying their fares at the Vpoint where they of .the ear,
enterthe car, thus dispensing with the an' noyance of having the conductor pass through the car and collect fares, and at the same time the conductor is always at his post so that. accidents are avoided which .are due to the starting of the'car before a passenger has either boarded the car oralighted from the car.
One object of my invention is to construct a car of this type in which a platform instead of extending across one end of the car is at one side thereof near one end, or on each side of the car; one platform being at one end of the car and the other platform being at the opposite end of the car, thus increasing the seating capacity of the car and leaving sufficient room for the assengers to larrange themselves on the plat entering the car.
A further object of the invention is to place the conductor in such a position in respect to the sides of the car that he can have a better'supervision of the interior of the car than where his location is at either end of the car.
ln the accompanying drawing :v- Figure 1, is a sectional plan view of a car made in accordance with my invention, showing a platform at each end of the car; and Fig. 2, 1s a plan View showing the 'platform at one end of the car onl A is the body o the car.v
a, a are the sidesof the car having the usual window, frames and sash in the present instance. b, b arethe ends of the car also provided with sashes.
c, c are-the seats arranged in two sets,
' one on each side of the car with a central passage e extending from one'end of the car to the other.
orm prior to of passengers.
At each side 'of ythe car, as illustrated in Fig. 1,'near one end, are the platforms d, d', In .the present instance these platforms are about the width of a seat; the length being considerabl. greater than the width, and the steps f, f eadinor tothe platforms extend the full length of each platform so that a number of persons canV board the car and arrange themselves in line on the platform ready :to enter the car. rlFhe partition g separating the Aplatform from the interlorof the car vmay be glazed, .if desired, and near one end .of Athe partition isa sliding door la for the ingress of passen ers and adapted to ways in the partition. Ahe sliding door is some distance from the cross partition separating the inner end `of the platform y `from the body o f fthe car, and in vthis cross partition is a swinging door 1I for rthe egress lc is a rail extending transversely of the .platform and on aline with the stile of thel lngress doorway, forming a compartment s in which the conductor stands. This rail also separates the egress platform cl2 from the ingress platform.
rlhe slidinfr that it can lbe operated by the conductor and is in such a position that theI passengers entering the body of the car must pass close to the conductor and at this point the passonger must either hand his fare tothe conductor nr lace it in a suitable fare box located at t is point'.
The egress doorway z' is preferably hined so asto swing in either direction, and w ien arranged to swing in one direction it is preferably arranged to swing outward so door is preferably aranged so that the car can be quickly emptied, but the v door .is so situated in respect to the conV ductor that it would be impossible for a person to enter the car through this doorway without beiner interfered with by the conductor, and tliis arangement makes the passage .from the car entirely clear so that egress is rapid.
By locatlng the conductor at the point indicated in the drawing, his position is near the middle of the car so that he can see at a glance any one iving a signal desiring the car to sto and e can also see that the platform is c ear before .to start the car.
In the car illustrated in Fig. 1, where there is a platform at each end of the car,
giving the signal one of these platforms can be closed and the doors locked when the other is opened, by a suitable gate, hinged step or other guard. In very long cars two conductors may be employed on each car if desired, one at each end of the car.
In Fig. 2, I have shown a ear in which the platform is at one side of the car only,A
tion g; the hand rail preferably stops about on a line with the end of the guard rail n so that while there is suicient space for the passengers to board the car they can grasp either hand rail as they wait to pay their fares and enter 1the car.
I claims#A 1. The combination of a car, a platform at one side of the ear, said platform being divided into two sections, one the ingress section and the other the egress section, a passageway forming comnmnciation between the ingress section of the platform and the interior of the car, and :i passage way forming communication between the egress platform and the interior oi the our, a sliding door adapted to close the first mentioned passageway, and a swinging door adapted to close the last mentioned passageway.
2. The combination in a car, of a body portion, an elongated platform at each side of the car and et opposite ends thereof. partitions having aY longitudinal portion and a transverse portion, a rail dividing each platform into-two sections, one for the ingress of passengers and the other 'for the egress, the ingress section being larger than the egress section, a doorway in the longitudinal partition forming communication between the interioi of the cur and the ingress section of the platform, a sliding door for closing saidgdoorway, a doorway in the transverse portion of each partition forming Communication with the interior of the car and theegress section-of the platform, fr
