UNITED STATES rQrriQn JAMES WORLEY, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.

IMPROVEMENT m RAILWAY PASSENGER-CARS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,208, dated December 26, 1871.

Specification describing an Improvement in Railroad PassengerGars,invented by J Antes T. WORLEY, of Cleveland, county of (Juyahoga and State of Ohio.

The nature of my invention consists in applying'selffastenin g and self-opening doors or windows to the sides of railroad cars, said doors or windows being so constructed and arranged that when the car is turned sidewise or tipped 'endwise to a certain angle, or when from a quick motion is suddenly stopped, the side doors or windows will, by means of a swinging Weight, fly open, thereby providing openings through the sides of the car, and through which openings passengers may escape from the car in case of accident.

I construct a railroad passenger-car provided with end doors, seats, berths, or lounges, similar to those now in use. In addition, however, I provide side doors or windows for the exit of passengers in time of accident. 7

Figure l is'a sectional view representing an end of the car, showing the attachment of the weights and bolts or fastenings of the door or window. Fig. 2 is a side View of the same. Fig. 3 is a view of the weight-bolt and its attachments to the car.

A, Fig. 2, represents the dooror window, which is secured to the car on one side by means of spring hinges B B, and on the other side by catches G 0, Fig. l. D, Fig. 3, represents a sliding bolt, with slots E E F F, loop Gr, spring H, with swivel-screw and nut I. The bolt D is secured to the side of car by means of screws passin g through slots F F and bracket Y, which slots F F are sufficiently long to allow the bolt to Work up and down to admit or detach the catches O C, Fig. 1. To the lower end of bolt D is secured a swinging weight, J, provided with cross-bar K, on which cross-bar are prongs L L. The weight J is secured to the car by means of screw M. Spring H, with screw and nut I, is used to regulate the motion of bolt D. The swinging weight J operates on bolt D when the car is tipped endwise, or, when in motion, is suddenly stopped, by

freeing the catches 0 G from bar D, when springs B B throw the door or window open. The swinging weight N, Fig. 1, is made with an arm, 0, and is secured to bolt D by means of link P and bracket Q. This weight N is secured to the under side of the seat E by means of bracket S and swings on pivot T. This swinging weight N is to operate on the bolt D when the car is tipped sidewise, causing the door or window A to open,

but only to open the door or window on the upper side of the car.

The swinging weights N and J are represented under seat R, but may beapplied to any part of the car where experience may dictate as most suitable position to attach them. The number set forth.
