T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we,1s1DOR KITSEE, HENRY new and useful Improvements in Stock-Cars,
of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of stockcars in which the body of the car is divided into separate compartments or stalls for the animals. Its object is to provide strong durable stallsides which will effectually separate and support the animals when standing, and will not interfere with the loading and unloading, or the comfort of the animals when lying down. This object is accomplished by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a horizontal section of a portion of a car embodying our improvements. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are side elevations of different forms of stall-sides secured to thetfioor of the car. Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of the feed and water troughs, and the rail of the door to which they are secured. Fig. 6 is a greatly-enlarged longitudinal section view of the telescopic pipe- 2 5 joints by which the water-troughs upon the different doors are coupled together when car is loaded and closed up. Fig. 7 is a side elevation of our preferred form of stall-side, showing also, in transverse section, the framing-timbers and floor of the car; and Fig. 8 is a top-plan view of a portion of one side of a car with ourimproved stall-sides arranged diagonally therein.
The body of the car is constructed in the usual way, except the upright stiles, which are grooved to receive vertically-sliding bar-doors A. Secured upon bar A are the water-troughs B and feed-troughs 0. The water-troughs are triangular in shape, and are placed in the acute angle at the head of the stalls. They are made to incline from the top front edge toward the lower inner angle, so that the horns of the cattle are not liable to strike the bottom of the trough in getting up. The feed-trough O is placed within, and slightly above, the water-trough, as shown in'Figs. 1 and 5,but may, if desired, be placed inthe opposite angle, or alongside of the water-trough.
In Fig. 2,D is an inclined bar, one end of whichis secured to the car-floor, and the opposite en'd secured to an uprightstile of the'carforms the stall-side.

body; and E is a metal brace secured to the bar D and'the carfloor.
In Fig. 3 is shown a triangular board, which This is secured to the floor and to the upright framing of the car in any approved manner.
In providing a car with the form of stall-sides shown in either Fig. 2 or Fig. 3, the series of stalls arranged upon each side of the car should have their sides arranged alternately with the high end of the sides in opposite directions, so that theanimals, in entering the stalls or in lying down, may, by inclining their heads to one side, avoid striking their horns. In the form shown in Fig. 4 the side consists of two bars, F, joined to the floor at each end of the stall, their opposite ends inclining up, joined opposite the longitudinal center of the stall, and supported by an upright brace, G.
Our preferred form of stalls (illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8) are each formed of two pieces, H, framed together at the top by a cross-piece, I. The pieces H have a bend at the lower ends, to pass vertically down through the car-floor and rest against the longitudinal timbers J of the car, to which they are secured firmly by metal angle-pieces'K, and bolts which secure the an gle-pieces to the timbers and pieces H. These stall-sides do not extend to either the side of the car or to the partition which longitudinally divides the carbody, so that when the central partition is elevated the cattle may -.pass between the two rows of stalls in loading the cars.
"Vile also design to use our cars without a central dividing-partition. In this case the animals will be secured in their stalls by headchains secured to the sides of the car.
The water-troughs in the difierent stalls are connected together by pipes L and slidin g joint M. When the side doors are closed the jointpipe M is slipped over the ends of the pipes L of. the adjacent troughs, as seen in Fig. 6, so that all the troughs upon one side of the car may be supplied with water at the same time.
With our stall-sides it is not necessary that the sides of the car be furnished with vertically-sliding doors. The car may be framed up rigidly upon the sides, and have one door at each endforloadin g and unloading thestock.
In this case, of course, the joint M of the waterpipe will not be necessary.
It will be seen that as our improved form of stall-sides are secured below and the upper end free they will, while being strong enough to support the animals, at the same time have sufficient spring to give slightly, in case the animals are jarred against them by the starting or checking up of the train, and thus avoid bruising the animals. We find it best to make the side pieces, H, of hard springy timber, and about six inches Wide by two inches thick, with the corners slightly rounded.
. tion to omit the metal angle-pieces K, and bolt or otherwise secure the pieces H to the timbers J.
We claim 1. The combination, substantially as hereinbefore set forth, of a stock-car and a series of stalls arranged therein, the sides of said stalls being secured to the floor or lower timbers of the ear-body, and s0 placed as to brace and support the animals near the center of their bodies when standing, and one or both ends of each pair of sides sloping down to near the floor of the car at the head of the stall, for the purpose set forth.
2. In a stock-car, the combination, substan tially as specified, of the lower timbers, J J, with the stall-sides formed of side pieces, H H, and top cross-piece, I, said pieces being framed together and secured to said timbers.
3. The combination, substantially as hereinbefore set forth, of the car-body and a series ofstalls arranged therein, the stall-sides formed of the pieces H H I, framed together at the top, and secured to the lower timbers of the carbody by angle-pieces K.
