CAR-AXLE B0X.
' C C M I N4 PETERS, PHOTO-UTHOBRAPHER, WASHINGTON, D, C.
UivliTnDv STATES 'PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES Hf COX, OF RICHMOND, ASSIGNOR TO JOHN STEWART, OF
HENRICO COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
IMPROVEMENT4 IN CAR-AXLE BOXES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 174,341, dated February 29,- 1876 application filed A v November 18, 1875.
To all 'whomzt may concern Be n known that I, CHARLES Hicox, of
Richmond, in the countyl of Henrico and inv the State of' Virginia, have invented certain new and usel'ul Improvements in Car-Axle Journal-Boxes; and do hereby declare that accompanying drawings, and tothe letters of reference marked thereommvaking a part of this`specification.
My invention relates to car axle journalboxes, and consists in the construction and arrangement of devices whereby the box may be adjusted out and in, so as to adapt the car-truck to broad or narrow gage, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
`In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to de scribe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figurel is a side elevation, showing thc box arranged for wide. gage. Fig. 2 is a vertical 4section of the same through the line :1c x, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section ofthe same through the line y y, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a side elevation ofthe box, showing .it arranged for narrow gage. spective view of the 4clevis-key used there with. Figs. 6 and 7 show modifications of the same..
A represents the ordinary pedestal as used on passenger-cars. ln this pedestal is a slide, B, ontop of the journalbox' C, said slide having on its under side neareach end a liange, c, which tits on the side of the box. Thejournal'box C is on each side formed with a center projection, b, and vertical front and rear flanges bl b2, lwh-ich leave two wide grooves, one on each side of the center projection, for the legs of the pedestal to work in. In the top of the box C are made two cross i grooves, dcl,for the passage of a pin, D,
which passes through lholes -in the flanges a of the slide B,to hold the box from moving 4 endwise in the pedestal. By changing the pin from one groove to the other, the box v Letters'Patent, is-
1. lThe combination, with a car-truck pedes-` Fig.A 5 is a per-" may be moved out or in, so as to adapt the truck either to a broad or narrow track, as may be desired. G represents a clevis, coustructed as shown in Fig. 4, and usedl by straddlin g the box either on the outer or inner side of the pedestal, according to the position ofthe box for broad or narrow gage, the legs of the clevis passing down between the vpedestaland either of the front or rear flanges bl b2 on the sides of the journal-box. This clevis G maybe used either in place of the pin D or in connection therewith, as desired.
For freight-cars, the pedestal II, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, has hook-'shaped flanges h h at the ends, for holding the projecting iianges i i on the sides ot' the journal-box at the top, Y
and the top ofthe box is grooved in the same manner for the insertion of the pin D. .By
these means the journal-box can easily and quickly be moved or changed out or in, so as vto adapt the truck to broad or narrow gage track, as required.
Having thus fully. described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by tal, A, of the slide B, having flanges a a, the
journal-box C, having grooves d d in its upper surface, and the piu D, substantially as and for the purposesl herein set forth.
2. The combination, with 'a cartruck pedestal, A, ot' the journal-box C, provided with side an'ges or projections b b1 b2, and the clevis G, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth. l
3. The combination of the pedestal H, having hooked end flanges h h, the journal-box C, ha ving grooves d d in its upper surface, and
side flanges i c', and the pin D, substantially as'and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I 4have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of October, 1875,. v l
CHARLES H. COX.
