Title: Improvements in Door Operating Mechanism for Discharge Wagons.
Inventor: SHANN CECIL
IPC: B61D7/26
Filed: 1910-04-29
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 10,570. Shann, C. April 29. Operating swinging doors. - Relates to the operating-mechanism for the discharge doors of wagons and other receptacles in which the doors can swing from either edge upon trunnions engaging open bearings, means being provided for supporting the acting trunnions during the opening of the doors. The invention chiefly consists in the provision of a single member which supports both the door and the acting trunnion during the movements of the door. The doors a, b are provided with trunnions c engaging open bearings d on the wagon, and are operated by members f, g, provided with shaped trunnion-supporting surfaces e engaging rollers q on the trunnions and also with door-supporting rollers s engaging cam surfaces r upon the doors. In a modification, the roller s is replaced by a cam engaging a roller on the door. Two or more members f, g may be provided upon each door according to the length of the door. The members f, g are connected to rockshafts h operated by arms i, j connected by links k to nuts l, m working upon right-and-left handed screwed portions of a shaft o carrying a worm-wheel u operated by a worm on a shaft v, which is actuated by a hand-wheel w at the end of the wagon. The central portion of the shaft o is squared or castillated so that it has a limited longitudinal sliding movement through the worm-wheel u. Locking-devices are provided for locking the actuating-mechanism so that the doors cannot be opened except in one particular direction. As shown in Figs. 1, 11, and 12, the arms i, j are provided with bifurcated upward extensions having enlargements x, y, which engage between locking-blocks 6, 7 and 8, 9, respectively, carried by a rock-shaft z, which may be operated by a lever 3 and rod 2 from the end of the wagon. The blocks 6, 9 are provided with additional depending blocks 6<a>, 9<a>, which, when the blocks are in the position shown in Fig. 11, prevent axial movement of the screwed shaft o. In this position of the locking- blocks the arms i, j can only move outwards so that the doors are swung simultaneously about their upper edges. When the doors are opened, rotation of the rock-shaft z is prevented by the engagement of the blocks 6<a>, 9<a> with the links k. When the locking-blocks are in the position shown in Fig. 12, the arm i is locked and the arm j can only move inwards, thereby allowing right-hand side discharge. In this case the shaft o moves axially, thereby causing a more rapid operation. The blocks may be turned into position to give left-hand side discharge or to lock the mechanism against discharge in any way. The arm 3 is preferably provided with a notched quadrant 4, Fig. 15, engaged by a pawl 5 for retaining the locking-devices in the various positions.

Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 12,661. Cloud, J. W. May 25. Fluid-pressure. - In fluid - pressure braking- apparatus having two brake cylinders of different areas so disposed with reference to one another or to the brake levers that the larger piston is substantially ineffective as regards applying the brakes until the smaller piston is moved sufficiently to bring the brake blocks up to the wheels, the larger cylinder is supplied with pressure at a much slower rate than the smaller cylinder, the supply to the two cylinders being either simultaneous or successive. The fluid pressure may be supplied to the larger cylinder from the smaller cylinder, or to the two cylinders independently. In the form shown, the pistons 7, 9 are connected together, and the large cylinder 5 is formed with a by-pass 13, 14 which allows the piston 7 to move freely during the first part of the stroke. Fluid pressure enters at 16 and acts directly on the smaller piston 9, which during its movement uncovers a port 19, through which pressure is supplied to the larger piston 7 by means of a port 20, a groove 23 in a rotary plug 22, one or more restricted ports 24 in the plug casing, and a passage 15, the rate of flow to the larger cylinder being regulated by turning the plug 22 so as to vary the number of ports 24 uncovered. The release from the larger brake cylinder takes place through the passage 15, past a non-return valve 18, and through the release outlet 16 for the smaller cylinder or a separate outlet. The by-pass 13, 14 may be replaced by a non-return valve arranged in the passage 15 so as to admit air behind the piston 7 until fluid pressure is supplied through the port 19. The fluid pressure may be supplied from an auxiliary reservoir, or from the train-pipe or other source, by means of the usual triple valve or other regulating -means, the control of which may be effected manually, or automatically according to the load of the vehicle.
