WALTER S. ADAMS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

DESIGN FOR AN END-BEARING SUPPORT FOR CAR-TRUCKS.

SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Design No. 28,328, dated March 1, 1898.

Application filed January 6, 1898. Serial No. 665,861. Term of patent 14 years.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALTER S. ADAMS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented and produced a new and original Design for End-Bearin g Supports for Oar-Trucks, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a design for a casting or the like employed for the purpose of supporting an end bearin g on car-trucks; and it consists, essentially, in the configuration and disposition of the parts of the same, substantially as herein shown and described.

In the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the casting; Fig. 2, a side elevation; Fig. 3, p a plan View; and Fig. 4, a sectional elevation, substantially on the plane of line 4 4, Fig. 3, looking either to the left or right.

In front elevation the support presents somewhat the-shape of a truncated pyramid,

in side elevation somewhat horn-shaped, and in plan substantially rectangular.

The castingcomprises a vertically-disposed cross-piece 1, the horizontal top web 2, and a depending web 3 at the outer end of the top web 2, the web 2 extending from the plate 1 at right angles thereto.

From the upright web 1 in front extendsv a shelf-like web 4, lying at right angles to the web 1, from the center of which rises upwardly a lug 5, having a central aperture 6, passing through the bottom of the web 4, the ends of the web 4 being connected to the upright web 1 by the side webs 7.

Superposed above the lug 5 is a rectangular collar 8, provided with a square opening 9, the center of the opening 9 alining with the center of the aperture 6, as clearly shown in Fig. 3. The base of the collar 8 is expanded outwardly to form a rib or flange 10, coincident with the periphery or exterior of the collar 8, the flange 10 forming a continuation of the front lateral webs 11 12, the upright portions 12 forming a lateral extension from the upright web 1 and which curves upwardly and outwardly, as shown in Fig. 2,

the part 11 extending upwardly and inwardly toward the flange 10, into which it merges at the rounded corners 13, the part 11 also extending laterally and outwardly from the side webs 14, said webs extending outwardly from the webs 11 and at right angles thereto, surmounting the flange 10 and merging into the collar 8, as at 15, near the latters top, the lower portion of the side webs 14 being turned rearwardly, as at 16, where they merge into the corner formed by the webs 1 and 2, the webs 14 extending in the same general plane upwardly and inwardly toward the collar 8 as do the webs 11 12 extend upwardly and inwardly toward the flange 10. At 17 are con1 panion webs to the webs 11 12, the webs 17 extending from the flange 10 first by the shoulders 18, thence downwardly and outwardly, following the plane of the web 11 to the top plate 2, where they take a vertical plane in relation to the web 2, as at 19, and extend abruptly outwardly toward the rear edge of the web 2, as at 20. (Seen most plainly in Figs. 2 and 3.)

Between the collar 8, the web 2, and webs 11 17 the casting is entirely open, as seen in Figs. 3 and 4, the parts being disposed so as to form a triangular opening 21, passing laterally through the casting.

The essential parts of my design reside in the parts which give to the casting its truncated pyramidal appearance in front or rear elevation, the superposed and apertured collar 8, and a ledge below the collar 8, formed by the web 4.

The upright web 1 is provided with a series of circular perforations 21.

Having described my invention, I claim- The design for an end-bearing support for v car-trucks, substantially as herein shown and described.

Signed at the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, this 2d day of December, 1897.

WALTER S. ADAMS.
