Definitions

  • a CORPORATION OF DELAWARE nnor SIDE CONTAINER can Original No. 1,847,202, dated March 1, 1932, Serial No. 354,636, filed April 12, 1929. Application for reissue filed March 9, 1932. Serial No. 597,850.
  • the freight thus loaded into a car is transported to destination where it is taken out placed in the freight house and later on picked up again and taken to the doorway for delivery to the consignees truck. Often, the freight is transferred en route, and intermediate unloading and rehandling being necessary.
  • the container may be used in two ways; first, for transportation from one shipper to one consignee, this in cases when one shipper alone has enough tonnage to warrant usmg container; second, use of containers by consolidators who substitute themselves for individual shipper or consignee, and by gathering up large number of small shipments, produce a container load very near the maximum, and act as distributors at destination.
  • the advantages to the shipper are; saving in total trans ortation costs, saving in cost of heavy woo en cases, as packing cases are unnecessary when shipments are made in containers; saving in tare; saving incident to practical elimination of theft, damage or other source of loss; saving resulting in faster, better and more efficient service; and the advantages to the railroad are-development and extension of service, having reference particularly to comparatively short haul traffic, saving of freight house labor at both origin and destination, saving of Way bill expense; getting greater revenue per car mile incident to heavier loading; saving in equipment; saving from elimination of claims for pllferage and loss; saving resulting from decrease in detention of equipment at termlnals; relief of freight house facilities.
  • the object of my invention is-to make the container car operation as nearly perfect as possible by dividing the car transversely with partitions thus forming container stalls or compartments and having shelves beside these partitions extending transversely of the car to support containers with orwithout legs, so as to make it possible to run a lift truck onto the car under the container, lift the container from the supporting shelves and remove it to a station platform, truck body or other support.
  • the lift truck may be run under the container from any one of four positions and place the container more satisfactorily, making it a much more'flexible operation, than if the lift truck could go in from one or two positions and to accommodate the legs of the container
  • I provide the supporting shelves with elongated slots or ways extending lengthwise of the shelf, so that the four legs of the container engaged with the slot will act as safety devices to prevent side sway and decrease to a minimum any possibility of the container slipping ofi the 'car.
  • a further object is to provide doors for the ends of the compartment which when in raised position constitute the car side wall; and .with these and other objects in view,.my invention consists of the parts and combination of parts hereinafter pointed out.

  • Figure 3 is an enlarged side elevation of one end portion of the car.
  • Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 3.
  • Fi ure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4 with the, rop side door open and functioning as a ang plank.
  • igure 6 is an enlarged detail view looking at the end oftthe supportin shelf, which is shown in elevation at the le t and in section at the right, the car partition being in section.
  • Figure 7 is an enlarged detail top plan of the empty car.
  • Figure 9 is a vertical section through car and container, showing the coo eration of the supporting shelf and a lock or the container door, this view being at right an les to Figure 8, and showing the drop side oor open.
  • Figure 10 is a detail top plan of the partition and a portion of the car.
  • Figure 11 is an end elevation of the shelf support adapted for container legs, the shelf being secured to the car floor and partition.
  • Figure 12 is a erspective view of a portion of a. car loa ed with containers, and a lift truck on the car under a. container in the act of depositing or removing a container from the car.
  • Figure 13 is a view similar to Figure 12 showing the lift truck leaving the car after having deposited the container on the supporting shelves, the drop door functioning as.
  • These containers are provided with a door or. doors 19 of approved type and construction, provided with approved locking bolts 20, 21, whichare connected at their inner ends to a bar 22, keyed to a spindle 23 to which is also rigidly secured the operating handle 24.
  • the outer end of the bolt.20 when in locked position roject-s through'the top of the door into the eeper 25 in the top of the door frame, while the outer, end of bolt 21, in locked position, projects through the bottom stile of the door into a keeper formed in the threshold 26 of the door frame, and is provided with a recess 27 into which one end of the dog 28 is adapted to lock to hold the bolt 21 against 0 eration as will be hereinafter described.
