  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
  • Fi 3 is a plan view of a portion of the under name Fig. 4 illustrates a modified form of interlocking members be tween the tank and underframe; and
  • This invention relates tonew and useful im irovemcnts in tank cars.
  • bands which extend over the tank, are secured to the underframe.
  • shifting longitiulinally head blocks which serve as abutments for the ends of the tank are usually secured on the underlralne.
  • the tank is tied to an underl'rame by means of bands in the usual manner.
  • the head blocks are replaced by lugs secured to the underframe near the center of the car, which lugs serve as abutments for a projection carried by the tank. struction is that the tank is free to expand and contract independently of the underframe, as it is not connected by rivets or similar fastening devices to the underfralnc.
  • Bands 9 are secured to the body bolsters so and extend over the tank. Straps 10 extend under the longitudinal sills and are connected by turn-buckles 11. to tank bands 12 and 12, the bands 12 being connected to curved rods 13 which surround the tank dome 14.
  • Brackets 15 are preferably secured to the tank bands and support a running board 16 and a hand rail 17.
  • a ladder 18 is secured to the running board.
  • Flanged plates 19 are secured to the underframe, preferably near the center of the car.
  • a casting or pressed metal men. or 20 is secured to the tank and extends downwardly between the flanges of the plates 19.
  • the member 20 is preferably provided with curved flanges which are riveted to the tank, the rivets passing through a plate 21 located inside the tank.
  • the plate 2 reinforces the tank structure at this point and reduces the liability of leakage.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates a modificatioi'i in which a casting provided with a recess 22 in its upper face is secured to the underframe, and one of the tank sheets is pressed out to form a projection 20, which projection is located in the recess 22.
  • the underirame in the mmli'lications shown in Figs. 5 and 5 6 a casting or pressed metal member 20* is j riveted to the bottom of the tank and rests Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
  • a tank 'car the combination with a tank, of a frame, and interlocking members forming abutments between the tank and frame, which members are designed at all times to receive end thrusts and allow the tank to expand substantially throughout its 13 length, substantially as described.
  • a tank car the combination with an underframe including body bolsters, of a tank supported by the underframe, and interlocking members arranged between the body bolsters, said interlocking members forming abutments which prevent the tank from shifting longitudinally and allow it to expand; substantially as described.
  • a 7 In a tank'car, the combination with a tank, of an underframe, bands anchored -to the underframe and extending over-the tank, and interlocking members between said tank and frame which prevent the tank from shifting longitudinally, the relative position of sald interlocking members being constant; substantially as described.
  • a tank car the combination with a tank, of an underframe bands anchored to the underframe and extending over the tank, and interlocking members at the center of the car which prevent the tank from shifting longitudinally; substantially as described 9.
  • a tank car the combination with a tank, of a frame, lugs secured to said tank and frame near the center of the car, which lugs interlock and prevent the tank from shifting longitudinally; substantially as described.
  • a tank car the combination with a tank, of an underframe, lugs secured to the underframe 'near the center of the car, and a projection. carried by the tank arranged between said lugs substantially as described.
  • lugs secured to the underframe 'near the center of the car, and a projection. carried by the tank arranged between said lugs substantially as described.
  • the combination with a tank, of a frame including body bolsters, a tank-supportingmember near the center of the car, and lugs cooperating with said tanksupporting member to prevent the tank from shifting longitudinally; substantially as described.
  • a tank support In a tank car with a center girder or sill, a tank support, a tank thereon, abutments on said girder, a flan ed. depending stop member below said tan cooperating with said abutments, a reinforcing late withinthe tank and means uniting the ange of said depending member and said plate.
  • a tank car the combination of a a tank, an underframe, lugs secured to the underframe near the midd e'of the car, a projection having lateral flanges secured to the tank and ada ted to project to the plane of said lugs an a reinforcing plate secured within the tank and to said projection.
  • the combination com prising an underframe, a tank su ported thereby, lugs on said underframe anil a hollow stop de ending from said tank between said lugs ali arranged to revent longitudinal movement of the tanii and permit free expansion of said tank at each side of said lugs.
  • a tank car the combination comprising an under-frame with a center sill 20.
  • an underfrarne a tank, a stop secured to the middle portion of said tank, said stop comprising a body portion with lateral flan es projecting therefrom and conforming to the contour of said tank and lugs on said underframc cooperating with said stop to prevent longitudinal movement of said tank.
  • an under-frame including'a center sill girder, a tank, a stop depending from said tank, said stop having flanges extending longitudinally of the tank, a reinforcing plate cooperating with said stop and lugs on said girder, said lugs serving to prevent longitudinal shifting of said tank while permitting free expansion thereof.
  • an underframe in a tank car, an underframe, a tank, a hoiiow projection carried by said tank, flanges on said projection secured to said tank, and lugs on said underi'rame adapted to cooperate with said projection. to hold the tank in position.
  • an underfrazne including a center sill girder, a tank, an abutment having a curved seat secured to the lower portion of said tank and depending there- 'lrom, and lugs on said girder adapted to em gage said abutment to prevent longitudinal shifting of the tank.
  • a tank car the combination comprising a tank, an outlet valve,- an underframe, a hollow casting secured to and ex temling transversely of said tank independent of the outlet valve at the lower portion of the tank and means on said iinder'franie for preventing longitudinal shifting of said tank.
  • a tank car comprising bolsters, a sill member connecting said bolsters, a tank removabiy mounted above said bolsters, a stop casting depending from said, tank between said bolsters and means extending transversely of and secured to said sill adapted to prevent longitudinal shifting'of said tank.
