.TOHN M. I HANSEN, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
METAL CAR-ROOFING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 28, 1911.
' Application filed August 3,1910. Serial No. 575,228.
' Be it known that I, JOHN M. HANSEN, a resident of Pittsburg, in the county of Alle gheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metal Car-Roofing; and I do hereby vcleclare the followin to be a full, clear, and exact description t ereof.
My invention relates to car-roofs, and more especially to a metallic roof, its object being to provide a roof in which the parts com osing the same are united before the roo is applied to the car-frame and then securely attached to said frame.
My invention comprises the novel features hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a side elevation of the upper portion of a car showing my improved roof applied thereto;
Fig. 2 is across section on the line 2-2 Fig.
1; Fig. 3 isa longitudinal section on the line 3-3 Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail.
The wooden frame-work of the car iscomposed of the side-plates 2, the sheathing 3 arid the fascia 4. The roof is composed of v the -carlines 5 which comprise the channel members with the flanges 7, said channels sloping from the median line of the roof to the eaves and provided at their ends with the downwardly extending flan es 8. The carline is arranged in inverted form and the roof-plates 9 are bent along their lateral edges to engage the carline, said roof-plates overlapping as at 10. In this manner the roof-p ates completely envelop the carline "and extend beyond the: same at their outer endswhere they are finally bent down as at 11 to be secured to the fascias 4 by means of nails or other fastening 'devices. The bolts 12 pass through the flanges 8 at the. ends of the carline and through the'side-plates 2 to secure the roof to the said side-plates. Saddles 13 are secured to the carlines by bolts 14 passing. through said saddles and through the roof-plates and web of the carlines. The
running boards 15 are secured to the saddles 13.
What I claim is:
A car-roof, the-combination with the side plates, of an inverted channel carline supported on said side-plates, downwardly extending flanges at the ends of said carlines- J OHN, M. HANSEN. Witnesses I ROBERT C. TOTTEN JOHN F. WIL
