RAILWAY GAR.
AM OO 8 STATES PATENT RAILWAY-CAR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.l 300,937, dated June 24, 1884,
Application filed April 1, 1884. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J OsEPH F. BATOHELOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cars, of which the following is a specication.
My invention relates to certain improvements in -railway-cars, and includes an improved draw-bar and provision for a truck between the end trucks.
The construction of the several parts will first be described, and then those parts and combinations of parts which comprise the invention will be designated in the claims.
In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a car. Fig. 2 is a plan viewshowing the top of the trucks and the draw-bar resting thereon. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-section of a car.
The letter A designates the body of a car;
B, the end trucks, and B athird truck between the end trucks. The hooked drawhead C is pivoted at a to the continuous drawbar E in a manner well known. At each end of the car the draw-bar is provided with a cross-head, F, to which the two slide Shanks, b, of buffers Gr' are attached, one on each side of the draw-head. A spring, c, about each buffer shank, serves to break the concussion when cars come together. By this arrangement4 the buffers are directly connected to the draw-bar. The king -bolt e over each end truck passes through a boss, f, on the drawbar, and thereby the draw-bar is connected to the end trucks. At the center of the car the draw-bar has two branches, E', which spread apart a distance nearly equal to the width of a car, and at the point where these branches separate the widest they are connected bytwo parallel crossbars, g, spaced apart from each other far enough to allow the entrance of a stud or bolt, 7L, projecting up on the middle truck, B. rlhis upward-projecting stud serves 'as a king-bolt, and in passing sharp curves,
which projects up from the middle truck, may thus enter the space between these beams. The center truck is provided on its top frame with rollers t', preferably four in number. These rollers sustain the pressure or weight from the branches E and` cross-bars g of the draw-bar. As the axes of these rollers eX- tend lengthwise of the car, they allow the middle truck, when passing a curve, to inove laterally out of a straight line drawn between 1. In a car, a draw-bar continuing from end to end of the car, and having at the center two branches Awhich vspread apart, and provided with two cross bars which connect the branches, as set forth.
2. The combination of a middle truck having an upward -projecting stud or bolt, h, and a draw-bar continuing from end to end of the car, and having cross-bars with a space, g', between to allow lateral movement of the said stud or bolt, as set forth.
3. The combination of a car-body, a drawbar continuing from end to end of the car, and twov end trucks, and a truck between the end trucks provided on top with rollers adapted to allow it to move laterally, as set forth,
4. The combination of a middle truck having an upward-projecting stud Or bolt, 7L, and provided on top with rollers, and a draw-bar continuing from end to end of the car, and having parallel cross-bars with a space between for said stud, as set forth.
.In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOSEPH F. BATCHELOR.
