Patented Feb. 16, 1932 TENT: OFFICE K. FIIJDES, OF AL'JDOONA, PENNSYLVANIA A'ETAGT FOR. CONTAINER CARRIERS- Application filed February 9, 1931. Serial No. 514,468.
adapted to the transportation of steel containers, which latter are individually assembled upon, and likewise are removable from, said carriers as and where required.
An important object of this invention is the provision of an attachment for flat carriers embodying support for less-than-ca- P pacity containers in spacial elevation relative thereto, said attachment including means to prevent both longitudinal, as well as lateral, shifting of the containers when deposited on the carrier and during transportation.
Another object is to provide an attachment of the kind referred to in which the means preventive of lateral shifting are moved into container-restraining position, by lowering of the container onto the carrier, and which gravitate or automatically recede from said container as it is initially elevated for removal.
A further object is to provide an attachment of the typified character that affords adequate clearance for the insertion of a lift truck below the individual containers and which aflords no obstruction to easy removal of said containers from the carrier.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, as will be hereinafter apparent, this invention consists, in general, of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts fully described herein, illustrated by the accompanying drawings, and specificallyclaimed. In the drawings:
Fig. I is a part side elevation of a railroad fiat car fitted with attachments in accordance with this invention. I
Fig. II is an end elevation looking toward the left-hand of Fig. I.
Fig. III is a sectional view, drawn to a f cated by the arrows II larger scale, taken approximately as indi- 'III in Fig. II.
Fig. IV is a fragmentary top plan view of one end of the attachment.
Fig, V is a perspective view of one of the lateral shift-restraining devices; and,
Fig. V1 is a perspective view of a hanger or'bearing member incorporated in the attachment.
Referring more in detail to the drawings, no the numeral 1 designates, comprehensively,
a portion of a railroad flat car, 2 the wheels, alfld 3 the supporting floor or platform there- In accordance with this invention I disa ose at intervals transversely across the car platform 3, a series of supports, comprehensively designated 4, and in view of the fact the several units are duplicates of one another, excepting the 'end ones 4, the following description is limited to an explanation of an individual support, in order to avoid repetitive matter.
Each support 4; comprises opposingly di-v rected basal components, conveniently anglesections 5 of a length to extend across the full width of the platform 3 and attached thereto by appropriate securing means 6. These basal components 5 have rigidly fixed at their ends, as by rivets 7, U-shaped bearem or verticals 8; and, at intervals of their length, inverted U-shaped verticals 9, while said bearers or verticals jointly sustain the container supporting member 10 of the attachment 4.
The container supporting member 10 consists of a plate of suitable dimensions conveniently formed longitudinally to provide a medially-located barrier 11, with flanking horizontal portions 12, and downwardlyangled flanges 13, whereby said supporting member is suitably secured to the verticals 8, 9, as by rivets 14, in a manner obvious to those acquainted with the art. Particular attention is here directed to the fact that the barriers 11 serve, as later on explained, to prevent longitudinal displacement of the containers 15 when on the flat car 3, and that the ends thereof areremoved beyond the interby suitable securing means 17.
mediate U-shaped bearers 9 to accommodate the lateral shift-preventing means.
The lateral shift-preventing means conveniently comprises a bearing-hanger 16 of appropriate form to fit within the walls of the barrier 11 and be attached rigidly thereto Each bearinghanger 16 aflords medial'support for a pivot pin or. bolt 18 which also passes through spaced bearing bosses 19 fixed to the insides of the flanges 13, in any convenient manner, and as readily understood from Fig. IV, more particularl Mounted to each side of thebearing-hanger 16, on the pivot pin 18, is a hook or claw 20 of angular contour and I-cross-section with apertured embossments 21, proximate the heel rtion 22 thereof, whereby such claws are pivoted to the pin 18 aforesaid, in an obvious manner.
The end attachments or supports 4 in most respects structurally conform with the foregoing description of the attachments 4, excepting that they are fashioned to provide only one horizontal'12 and accommodate but one hook or claw 20; and hence further explanation thereof is deemed unnecessary.
Having explained the structural features of the invention, it will be readily appreciated that as each container. 15 is lowered into position, on the car 1, it will be guided by the ridge portions 23 of the barriers 11 between which it is to seat, onto the horizontal portions 12; and, incident to its approach thereto the container bottom will strike the hook heels 22 and rock them upwardly into the position shown to best advantage in Fig.
II. Such movement of the hooks or claws 20 at each end of the attachments 4 or 4' swin the toe portions 24 into close approach with the walls 25 of the container 15 and thereby effectively prevents lateral or sidewise shift ing of said container during transportatlon, whereas the stationary barriers 11 similarly restrain any tendency to longitudinal movement in an obvious manner.
Note is also to be had that the height or distance intervening the car floor or platform 3 and the bottom 26 of the container 15 and the top face of the attachment flanking horizontals 12, in practice about thirteen inches, afiords clearance for easy insertion of a conventional lift-truck, whereby said container may be removed from the carrier or car 1 as and when required. Furthermore, itwill be readily seen that when the container 15 is raised from below by a lift-truck, or by power actuated lifting tackle applied from above to the bails or links 27 at the, top of said container, the hooks or claws 20 will fall down to the position indicated by dotand-dash lines at the left hand of Fig. II, and as a consequence will offer no impedance to movement of the container 15 nor uire said container to be raised more than a s ort distance to clear the ridges 23 of the attachments 4 or 4'.
From the foregoing it will be understood this invention is susceptible of other adaptations, and embodiment in forms different from that which is illustrated. by the accompanying drawings; hence I, therefore, consider as my own all such modifications thereofas fairly fall within the scope of the following claims.
Having thus I claim is described the invention, what 1. The combination with a container carraised therefrom.
