摘要： A latching arrangement is provided having a latch which comprises a latch portion having a latch nose mounted on a radius about a generally vertical pivot axis. A generally constant force resilient device urges a base portion of the latch into the inward or engaged position with a container. Since the moment arm of the latch portion about the generally vertical axis is generally constant, the respective entry and exit forces for engaging and removing containers from the latching arrangement are generally constant, and can be varied by altering the entry and exit incline of the nose portion.

摘要： In accordance with the present invention, the sprockets and rails with spaced openings are replaced with spaced longitudinally extending trolley rails on opposite sides of the car and rollers riding thereon supporting the bulkheads. In cross section, the shape of the roller is such that the bulkhead becomes largely self-aligning. The rail can readily be manufactured with available parts relatively inexpensively. Since the rollers are not interconnected a wide range of manufacturing and other tolerance variations can be tolerated. A bulkhead locking member is engageable with longitudinally spaced locking means to hold the bulkheads in a desired position in the transportation vehicle. A wide variety of geometrical arrangements and cross-sectional shapes for the supports, trolley rails and rollers may be used to obtain the self-aligning capability.

摘要翻译： 根据本发明，具有间隔开的开口的链轮和轨道被替换为在轿厢的相对侧上的间隔开的纵向延伸的小车轨道和骑在其上的支撑隔板的滚子。 在横截面中，辊的形状使得隔板变得很大地自对准。 轨道可以容易地以相对便宜的方式制造有用的部件。 由于辊不相互连接，因此可以容忍宽范围的制造和其它公差变化。 隔板锁定构件可与纵向间隔开的锁定装置接合，以将隔板保持在运输车辆中的期望位置。 用于支撑件，手推车轨道和滚子的各种几何布置和横截面形状可以用于获得自对准能力。

摘要： A force transmitting member is connected to an end of car hydraulic cushioning device to transmit coupler forces to the center sill of a railway car underframe upon buff and draft loads applied to the coupler. The hydraulic cushioning device has a relatively large diameter hydraulic cylinder and a force transmitting member is connected about the small diameter cylindrical member and mounted within slots on the center sill for transmitting forces laterally outwardly from the small diameter cylindrical member directly to the center sill.

摘要： A rotatable shaft is mounted along an end of a gravity outlet having locking means mounted thereon for engaging the end portion of the gate to hold the same in closed position. Also mounted on the shaft is at least one locking cam. Upon rotation of the shaft to move the locking means into engagement with the gate, a locking cam engages the surface of a rigid member, deflecting the shaft and then locking the cam in place to hold the locking means in engagement with the gate. When the shaft is rotated in the opposite direction the shaft is again deflected, the cam disengages from the rigid member and the locking means disengages from the gate so that the same can be opened.

摘要： A control valve structure in which the flow of fluid from the inlet is divided into two separate streams and then recombined at the outlet. The control valve is of the globe-valve type having two opposed parts through which the fluid flows from the inlet, and the control valve includes two cylindrical valve portions thereon to control the flow of fluid through the two ports. The cylindrical valve portions are mounted on a common valve post in spaced relation to each other and are perforated to provide a restriction to the fluid flow, thereby converting some of the energy of the fluid stream to heat.

摘要： A railway car hopper outlet for either gravity or pneumatic unloading includes an inclined wedge shaped gate, which is mounted on upper and lower rollers for limiting tilting of the gate during opening. A pneumatic discharge tube extends along the lower edge of the gate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the gate so that the gate in its closed position guides the lading toward the pneumatic tube. The pneumatic tube has a rotatable valve adapted to open at and above the lower edge of the gravity gate for receiving lading. For gravity operation, the rotatable valve is left closed and the gate only is moved longitudinally. For pneumatic operation, the gate is left closed and only the valve is opened.

摘要： In a railway car, such as a closed hopper car, conditioned by circulated air, condensation may occur near the roof, which is difficult to insulate effectively. The conditioning air, which may be heated air, is fed into the bottom of the hoppers and exhausted at one end of the car. A shielding stream of electrically heated air admitted at the other end of the car near the roof flows along the roof and prevents moisture laden circulated air from striking the cold roof directly, and thus prevents condensation. A portion of the circulated air is exhausted to atmosphere to facilitate the inflow of fresh air, and thus increase the oxygen content and reduce the humidity when the car contains oxygen consuming, moisture emitting lading.

摘要： A pneumatic bulkhead assembly for a railway box car suspended by flexible support means from the upper portion of the box car. The bulkhead assembly includes upper and lower bulkhead sections each of a height generally around one-half the height of the car and mounted on the flexible support means in a vertically spaced relation to each other with the lower bulkhead section mounted for a limited resilient movement relative to the upper bulkhead section. Each bulkhead section includes a pair of generally flat faces and a pneumatic bag between the faces to urge the faces outwardly upon inflation.
