' qua1'ter ti1rn thereof. 'In this structure the door?, 1s provided with a pivot 85 running from the loor to the top of the doorway and mounted 4in 'a manner substantially the same as the pivot 13, described in my application Serial No. 466,618. l This pivot 85 is com `posed of the panels 86, 87 ,L88 and 89 which are-each placed. at rightangles tothe adjacent .panels and each of ,these panels is comi posed of two parallel and identical members which ,are separated 'by the thickness of the lslides 90 and 91 which vslide freely between `said panels, lthe slide91 moving vbetween till-aparts @mha-.panels serena 8s and the I Theslide 90. is vpreferably' Inade continu .tom bars 95 whichl are .secured 'in place in manypanes of glass as desired and the same -spectively', and each 'of -t'hese slides is pro- A l and4 bottom asshown inf-Fig. 7 at, 92. The", slide. 91.*is divided into two parts 93 and 94Fwhich areicnnected by top 'an'd'botvided with suitable casters 9 6 both at the.

.top and bottom whichvmove in suitable runi l 90 ways 97 located in the Hoor and ceiling respectively, and these slides also have lsuit-- able ball bearings 98 so as tolmove properly 'and easily betweenthe panels.' `Thecasters 96 act as pintles. andthe'runways 97vact Vas 1.

pintle grooves andcoperate as described belo'w. The ends 99 of the pivot 8,5' turn freely in the cups 10 0 located atthe top and "botf' y tom, lAnti-friction bearings maybe l,1 1.s`e l to..

supportthis pivot if desired.--

. The' slides 90'agud 91 aref'so mpunted= and -v arranged that each extends from a stanchion- 101 at one side of the car to the post 10Q-ad 'way mediatelv above the panels 86, 87, 88 and'89l jacent to the center of the. car and not far from the conductors railing 5.

In the interior of the car, extending from the post 102, is a curved guard 103 which runs about 90 to a post 101 as shown in. Fig. 3. This post 104 supports a false'v ceiling 105 which extends over the bottom run- 9'( and supports av similar runway im'- and the slides 90 and 91.A In this construction the platform is provided with a suitable side panel 106 into which a door 107 may slide to permit persons to'leave the car over the step 108. The exit door (lis an ordnary sliding door, preferablycomposed of two'slides 110 and lllrespectivel'y, which move into the panel 112 and nextthe post 102 when the door 4 is opened. These door sections 110 and 111 move-abreast 'so asto leave 'a sufficiently wide 'space for .the exit of passengers. When leavin the car passengers pass b v'the door 4. w ich is then in the panel' 112,011 to the platform 2 and thence out of the car by means of thestep 113 or out through the front of the car. Passengers entering the car enter from the step 113 and platform 2 between the rail 5 and the rear end o'f the car and pass vby the conductor who stands in the curved portion ofthe rail 5 and collected `the fares and from .thence between this'` rail 5- and the panel 106 to the door 3 which is shifted in the conventional-manner,the same as an ordinary turnstile door. Each quarter turn admits one passenger only as there is no room for any more. A cash register, not shown, registers each quarter turn of the door so that the number entering the car is clearly indicated bythe register. Theslides 90 and 91 are shifted by the pintles 96 andpintle grooves 97, so that these vslides will be projected so as to close the entrance and intrude into the car as little as possible. This construction also makes them move clear of the conduc tor and gives him ample room to stand. T0 prevent passengers from being pinched between the door sill 114 and the door 3, the oor of the car is `preferably extended as shown in dotted lines and designated by the numeral 115 in Fig. 2. l While I have shown' and described one embodiment of my 1nvention,it Vis evident that itis not restricted thereto but is broad enough to cover all structures that come within the scope of the annexed claims.

That- I claim is: f

1. In a device of the class described, a car door consisting of panels, protrudable sliding panels movable with and adapted to move between said panels and means for pivoting said panels so that they will move while carrying said sliding panels.

2. In a device of the class described, a car door consisting of panels arranged at substantially right angles A.to vtrudable sliding panels ada each other, proted to move in said panels and transverse y of each 'other and 'means for mounting said panels so that they will revolve about' a common axis.

3.' In a device of the clam -described, a car door consisting of panels and a pivot for supporting 'the same, protrudable sliding panels mounted in said pivot and means for 'causing said slidingpanels to move in the direction of their widthx through said pivot.l

" 4." In a car door or similar device, panels protrudable sliding panels adapted to move 'through the pivot of the panels, one through the other, 'and means for causing said slidesv to movel relatively to each other.

vand means for pivotally mounting the same,

5. In a device of the class described, a car Adoor 'in the form of a turnstile with panels disposed at 'substantially right angles to each other and composed of parallel membersv mounted' upon a `common pivot and protrudable slidable panels freely movable etween theimembers of said panels.

6. In a device of the class described, a car door in -the form of a turnstile with panels disposed at substantially right-angles -to each other and composed of parallel members mounted upon a common pivot and protrudable sliding panels freely movable betweenthe members of said panels and a curved guard for said panels.

7; A device for the purpose described comprising a member o r members mounted for'bodily sliding movement and supported to revolve about a substantially fixed axis, relatively fixed guides for such member or members lfor causing each such member in a rotating about such'axis to reciprocate bodily in its guide in a direction substantially radial to such axis, to assume successively operative positions, in which it extends a maximum distance from such axis and across the passage-way, and 4inopertive positions substantially at right angles to the operative positions, each member being adapted to reverse upon itself at successive operative positions.

S. A device for the purpose described, comprising an element revolubly supported upon a fixed axis of rotation, a member or members slidably supported on such element and means-for causing each such member, as such element is rotated, to move reciprocally in directions substantially radial to the axis of such element, to. assume suc` n' cessively operative positions, in which it extends a maximum distance from such axis and across lthe passageway, and inoperative positions.

9.`A device for the purposedescribed,

comprising a member or members supported to revolve about a substantially fixed axis and means for causing each such member, in rotating about such axis, to move re-` across theepassageway, and inoperative p01 sitions substantially at right angles to the operative positions, each such member bey ing reversed upon itself at successive operative positions,` and also at successive inoperative positions. l

10.-A device for the purpose described,

.comprising an element revolubly supported upon a xed axis of rotation; a member or members slidably supported on such elementand means for causing each such member, as such element is rotated, to move reciprocally in directions substantially radial to the axis of such element,'to assume successively operative positions, in which it extends a maximum distance from said axis and across the passageway and inoperative positions, each such member being reversed upon itself at successive operative positions, and also at successive inoperative positions. 11. A device for the purpose described, comprising a member or members supported to revolve about a substantially ixed axis, means for causing each such member in rotating about such axis, .to assume, succes' sively, operative positions in which it extends a maximum distance from such axis and'across the passageway, and inoperative positions substantially at right angles to the operative positions and means for causing each suchmember to move in directions substantially radial to such axis first in one direction and then in the opposite direction during correspondingly successive intervals between such operative positions.
