    摘要: An outlet gate assembly for a hopper car including a frame at the bottom of the hopper with a door plate slidable therein. A pair of laterally spaced racks extend cantilever fashion from one side of the frame. A transversely extending operating shaft, mounted in brackets secured to the door plate, carries pinions which engage the teeth of the racks so that as the operating shaft is turned the pinions walk along the racks thereby imparting sliding movement to the door plate. A latch shaft extending parallel to and below the level of the operating shaft mounts, in radial position, a pair of latches having hooked portions underlying the respective racks so that when the door plate is open the latches are blocked from moving into latching position by the underside of the racks and so that when the door plate is closed the hook portions of the latches engage the ends of the racks to lock the door plate in its closed position. Operating handles at the ends of the latch shaft serve individually to rock the shaft into unlatching position with the position of the handles serving as a telltale to indicate that the door plate is both closed and latched. In one aspect of the invention the latch serves as a retention member for the door plate in that the door plate assembly may not be removed until it has traveled to fully open position and until a limit stop has been moved out of the way.

    摘要: A railway car truck is provided that includes two sideframes and a bolster. Each sideframe has a pedestal opening at each end to receive a bearing adapter assembly. The bearing adapter assembly includes a cast steel bearing adapter that is formed to fit on top of a bearing assembly. An adapter pad, comprised of a selected hardness elastomer, is fit on top of the bearing adapter. Protrusions extend from the adapter pad and are received in depressions in the bearing adapter to provide longitudinal stability for the adapter pad on the bearing adapter itself. Each adapter pad includes at least two wear tabs extending laterally outwardly from a top section of the adapter pad.

    摘要: A sideframe pedestal jaw accommodates a bearing adapter which locks the adapter to the sideframe, thereby preventing it from all forms of movement within the pedestal jaw opening. Locking the bearing adapter forces the truck axles to remain at a right angle with respect to the sideframes. Maintaining this right angular relationship substantially curtails truck warpage, which induces wheel misalignment that leads to undesirable truck hunting and high speed instability.

    摘要: A pellet gate, or valve, assembly to control pneumatic discharge of pellets from a hopper car. The inclined side walls of the hopper terminate in spaced edges forming a valve gap, with a semi-cylindrical trough extending below the valve gap. Centered in the valve gap is a valve rod having an axis which is spaced above the axis of the trough. The rod has oppositely facing longitudinal grooves defining a figure eight cross section and mounted for rotation from a valve-closed position to a valve-open position in which the grooves of the rod face the opposed edges of the hopper side walls for passage of the pellets. A cylindrical control collar is coaxially mounted at the end of the trough for rocking movement. A geared connection is interposed between the control collar and the end of the valve rod so that rocking movement of the control collar is effective to rotate the rod between its open and closed conditions. The control collar is disengageable for uncoupling the geared connection and to provide easy and direct access for a probing tool upwardly into the gap. During transport the assembly is enclosed by an end cap having sealing and locking means. The end cap is keyed to the hopper and to the control collar so that the device can be locked only when the control collar, and the valve rod which is coupled thereto, are in the closed condition.
