Application filed. lecember 8, 19H. `Serial To. @$2,291.

To all whom it :may 'concer-n Be it known that. Anoi'm: CAMPBELL, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Chi cago, in the county of Cool; and Sta/tc of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Dump-Cars, of which the following is e full, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming e. part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in railway car noni-traction e object of my invention is to provide a. railway car of comparatively cheap and light construction, and yet of great strength, and one capable of -eiiid\iiiiig the severe shocks of service.

Certain features of my invention herein have been divided out and forni the subject matter of divisional applications, ripper'- tively Serial Xo. 720.149. and Serial Xo. ln in v 1 application herein confine my claims to i 720,150, filed september ifi, i912.

the hopper structure, whereas in my co pendin applications the claims are particiilary directed to the iiiiderfiainingr of a car and to other features relating to car construction.

accomplish this object may be used in contlie central longitudinal hopper sheet, 17 a transverse hopper sheet` 13 the car doors, 1S the door in its open position.

l) a pivot attachment of the door mechani n to the door 11:5. 3

are connectingrods which are used for oiirating the car doors 1S in connection with the lever 21 borne iipon the shaft 22, wliith joiiriialed in suitable bearings 23, and operated by ratchet 24.

25 are door hinges rigidly attached by suitable means at the upper edges of the door 18. The said hinges have :in angle or turn so that the blade of the hinge is substantially at right angles with the door 18.

liacli door opening adapted to be closed by a door 1S has adjacent each side one of the transverse hopper siicets 17, each transverse hopper slicet being,r substantially at right angles to the 'upper edge of the door 1f, which door is adapted to swing transwisely of the cai'. The hinges 25, there be ing preferably one at either end of the upper c-flgc of cach door 18, are attached to the transverse hopper sheets. preferably on the l oiitcr face 45 thereof ivitli reference to the ncction with different forms of railway cars. i

invention, and have chosen for such description a cai commonly known a "ballast car, though it will be understood that by making this specific description in comico tion with a car of thisl type I do not intend to be limited thereto, as it will be readily apparent that the broad principles of my invention are readily applicable to many typzes of railroad cars.

eferring to the drawings Figure 1 is a elevation of substantially one-half of `ad car embodyin'gmy invention, Fig. ian view of the same, Fig. 3 is a cross v"alien on line 3, 3 of Fig. 2, Fig. 4 section taken longitudinally of the car ci the transverse hopper at. line lE 4, of Fig. 2, showing the method of attaching the hopper doors and hinge biitts. Referring to 'the drawings 10 is a car body, 11 the side of the car, 12 a hopper bottom, 13 the end floor of the car, 14 the end of a car, l5 the end sill of a car, 16

iliinfc iiiitt by iiicans of thc pin 26.

adjacent door opening. ln preferable construction a hinge butt 27 is employed for siicli attachment. the same being secured to the transvcrsil hopper sheetl by the rivets *29, 28, ond the hinge being plvotcd to the` By means of the angle provided iii the hinge and by reason of the. attachment of the hinges; to the transverse hopper sheets l ain enabled to provide a door .vliich upon openinf,r in discharging the load tends in iii opening movement to elevate and allow the distribution of the discharging load toward the renier of the track.

29 is a single center sill extending longitudinally of the car with its ends passing preferably to the forward cdgesof the body bolster 3() of the car. though the saine may be extended to the draft. devices. and liaving a vertical recess 3l on its under surface for the reception of the king pin nul. SliDWlt in the drawings.

39 are angle irons vertically disposed at the inner ends of the and floor of the car forming the slots 40 for tlic reception of partitioning means between the level and l my invention to one type of car.

car, and provided with oor operating mechathe entire car in service for the carrying of a commodity I have provided a. means at the ends of the car by forming the slots 4l between the end 14 of the car and the vertieally arranged angle irons 42, which are attached by suitable means to the sides of the car, as illustrated in Fig. 2.

I have thus described the application of I claim: L

1. In a dump car, the combination of a hopper having longitudinal and transverse hopper sheets, car dogors associated therewith adapted to swin transversely of the nism, of angular hinges secured to each door and pivoted to the transverse hopper sheets.

2. In a dump car, the combination of a hopper having longitudinal and transverse hopper sheets with hopper doors associated therewith, said doors being provided with door operating mechanism adapted to swing the samel transversely of the car, and each attached to the hopper by angular hinges pivoted to the transverse hopper sheets, whereby uniform central distribution of the load from the car is secured.

3. In a. dump ear, the combination of a hopper having longitudinal and transverse hopper sheets, hopper doors associated with said hopper, and provided with door operating mechanism adapted to swing said doors transversely of the car, each of said doors being attached to angular hinges, each of said hinges being pivoted to the transverse hopper sheets, whereby the said doors upon opening tend to elevate and centrally distribute the load of the car.

4. In a dump car, the combination of a hopper with openings between longitudinal and transverse hopper sheets, with hopper doors arranged longitudinally of the car, cach of said doors associated with door operating mechanism, and each provided with hinges angleswvith the door, the said hinges being pivoted to the transverse hopper sheets, whereby upon opening the said doors elevate and centrally distribute the load.

5. In a dump car, the combination of a car body having a door opening, longitudinal and transverse hopper sheets forming said opening, a door therefor, hinges connected to the door, and hinge butts to which the hinges are pivoted, the hinge butts being secured to the transverse hopper sheets.
