Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 13, 1909.
Application filed February 5, 1909. Serial No. 476,234.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES B. PRICE, a citizen of the United States, and. resident of llttsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented cerl tam new and useful Improvements in btreet- (Jars, of which the following is a specifil cation. The present invention relates more paltic-ularly to improvements in street cars of the type patented to me September 13, 1904 by Letters Patent N 0. 770,107. In cars of this type .it is preferable to have the entrance and exit doors under control of the conductor and to arrange the passages from and to said doors so that the conductor without moving from his station, may collect the fairs of passengers entering the car and deliver transfers to passengers leaving the car. My improved car'is so designedas to permit of the conductor attending to all of these duties without leaving .the station provided for him. a The invention will be described in connection with the accompanying drawing, in
- which,-
Figure l is a side elevation of arailway car embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a same; and Figs. 3 and at are sections respectively, on the lines 3-3and H of Fig. 2.
The body A of the car may be of any suitable construction and is provided with an inlet opening B and an exit opening C, whichv are at'diflerent parts of the car, but
a which as shown are at the same side of the car,
the inlet being at one end and'the exit at or about the center. The interior of the car is divided by a fence or partition D, so" as to form at one side a corridor X, which communicates at one end with the inlet opening nearly to, the conductors station Y,so that every passenger en- I tering the car must pass the conductor before passing from the corridor into the body of the car. The fence or partition I) may be only of sullicient height, say four feet, six inches, to prevent the passage of the main body of the car, or vice versa. In some instances a turnstile E is arranged so as to be operated by those passing from the corridor into the body of the car. Preferably the conductors station is adjacent to the exit door so that he can if necessary give transfers to those passing out of the car, and each opening B, I
l C, may be provided with a door or doors.
with means adjacent to the conductors sta tion whereby either door may be independently operates; lay the conductor. Thus each door may be suspended by a central roller 2 upon'a tilting rail 3 and the rail of the exit door may be tilted by means of a cam l operated by a handle 5 adjacent to the conductor-s station, while the inlet door maybe operated by a cam 6 upon a shaft provided with a pinion 7, which gears with a rack 8 upon a rail 9, that may be shifted by means of a lever 10 adjacent to the conductors station. The star tion for themotorman may be separated from the body of the car by a fence or partia like tilting rail on 5 tion I and a door F. may be provided for access to this station from the exterior of the car.
My inventionis adapted particularly for cars operated on the so-called pay-as-youenter principle, but it is. an improvement on these cars in that the passenger is not required to pay until after he has entered the car and the door is closed to protect him from the weather. at a station may assemol in line in the corridor X and the conductor can then close the door B and'start the car immediately, collecting the fares while proceeding to the next stopping place. It will be seen that by this method the passengers are subjected to the-least possible-inconvenience and exposure to the, weather. i
It will bennderstood that my invention is not limited to the precise details of construction and arrangement illustrated and described. For instance, the door operating devices may b ofany suitable character and the turnstile I) may be used or not, as desired. Furthermore, the corridor X and the might be placed at the forcar, instead of at the rear It is preferable, however,
inlet opening B ward end of the end as shown. that they should car as the exit opening C.
. Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secu'reby Letters Pat-- be on the same side of the The .pssengers entering 2. A street car having a corridor separated from the body of the'car', an entrance door for passengers atone end of said eorridor, a station for the conductor at the other end of said corridor, an exit door, and means at the conductors stat-ion [or operat-' 111g said doors.
' means for operating said doors, said means being arranged within reach of the conduetor while occupying his said station.
4.. A street vear having a rear entrance door, a .corridor leading from said door along one'side of the car, a space. or station for the conthletor at the forward end of said corridor at which he can collect fares from passengers entering through the cor rider, an exit door'forward of the conduetor's station, and means extending from 7 said doors to the eonductofs station Wherehy the doors ma y be opened and closed, for the an-pose set forth.
In testimony whereof I atfix my signature in presence olf two wit nesses.
