Definitions

  • each sheet of panels are operated, as a rule, by means of one or two ropes or chains.
  • the front panel 7 which is the driving panel, i. e. the panel exerting a traction or a thrust on the panels to which it is connected.
  • each rope or chain may be caused to actuate an end panel of the series.
  • the panels are operated by means of one or a pair of ropes or chains drivingly connected with one or both end panels of the series.
  • Figure 2 is a corresponding plan view thereof
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatical and fragmentary view of the same arrangement
  • Figure 4 is a fragmentary view at a greater scale of a joint between two adjacent panels
  • Figure 5 is a sectional detail view showing a modified embodiment of a joint between two adjacent panels
  • Figures 8 and 9 show at a greater scale two successive positions of the panels during their displacements
  • Figures 10, 11 and 12 are fragmentary views similar to Fig. 1 showing three alternate forms of embodiment, and
  • Figures 13 and 14 are other fragmentary side views similar to Fig. 1 showing at a greater scale two different positions of a specific form of embodiment of the means utilized for locking the panels in their spread or closed positions.
  • the two end panels i. e. 1 and 1', are attached to a pair of independent ropes or chains adapted to operate in opposite directions to spread the panels over the truck top or move them back to their stowed position, or to a single rope or chain adapted to move in both directions. It is also possible to attach only the front panel 1 to a single or double driving rope or chain. This last-mentioned solution is shown in the drawings.
  • the single rope 8 is arranged as shown in the diagram of Fig. 7.
  • the rope 8 is wound around a drum 9 of a hand-actuated winch and passes over sheaves or grooved rollers 10, 10', 10", 10" and 11", 11", 11 and 11 before beingwound around a drum 12 adapted to be operatively connected through a common shaftor rod 13.
  • the rollers 10 and 11 are positioned on either side of the truck. aperture and preferably in planes parallel to the panel runways.
  • the end panel 1' is attached to the rope 8 at 14 and 15, i. e. on either side of the aperture to be closed thereby.
  • the point of attachment 14 is selected on'the rope side issuing directly from the drum '9',
  • drums 9 and 12 may be actuated for example by hand cranks 16 and 17.
  • the running rollers 3 are adapted to engage ramps 18 formed endwise of the runway 19 provided along the lateral upper edges of the aperture to be closed by the device according to the invention.
  • a rod 20 carrying catch means 21 is journalled in bearings 22.
  • a hand-actuated lever 23 movable in a segment-like guide 24 is adapted to rotate the rod 20 about its axis so that in the panel-locking position the catches 21 will engage appropriate notches or holes provided for this purpose at the relevant end of the outermost panel, as shown.
  • the catches 21 are shown as engaging the holes formed in lugs 25 secured by welding or otherwise to the last or end panel 1".
  • the runway 19 provided at the upper portion of the railway truck of the embodiment shown by way of example and more in detail in Figs. 3 and 6 comprises a lateral section member 26 formed with a retaining flange 27, for example.
  • the panel is provided on the other hand with a lateral stop or rib 28 adapted to be positioned under the retaining flange 27 of section 26, as shown.
  • the reference numeral 33 denotes a gap provided to enable the panel 1 to move without any risk of interfering with, or contacting, the upper framework of the railway truck, and any water entering the runway structure through this gap 33 will be drained through bottom holes 34.
  • Fig. 4 shows the case of a sealed joint wherein the panel 1 carries at one end aprojecting portion 36 engaging a yielding member or mass 37 located in a channel 38 provided on the adjacent panel.
  • Fig. 5 the case of a non-sealing joint is illustrated; this joint is obtained by removing the yield- As in the preceding case, theing mass 37 and inclining to the proper degree the section iron 35, thereby facilitating the draining of rainwater which, on the other hand, takes place without any difiiculty.
  • the operator To open the truck equipped with the panel arrangement described hereinabove, the operator firstly actuates the drum 9, thereby pulling back the relevant side of the role 8; this rotation is transmitted to the other drum 1 2 which pays oh the rope to enable the panel 1 to move backwardly.
  • a space is provided for stowing away the panels at one end of the truck by utilizing acut-ofi corner portion 39.
  • This method of stowing away the panels avoids any undue increase in the longitudinal dimensions of the truck or, at least, of the buffers thereof.
  • Fig. 10 a different arrangement is shown which differs from the embodiment of Fig. 1 only in that an additional or complementary space 40 is provided; however, this alternate disposition requires longer bumpers 41; on the other hand, the panels are located complementary outside the truck aperture and do not interfere with the space available therein.
  • FIG. 12 A third arrangement is suggested in Fig. 12 wherein it is assumed that one of the panels remains horizontal when stowed away; in this case, it is the leading panel 1 which is constantly horizontal, whilst the other three or more panels are stowed away in their vertical positions.
  • the increase in length of the bumpers 41 may be reduced to a minimum as the panel 1 may extend over a small portion of the truck aperture, as shown.
  • a fourth solution is shown in Fig. 11 and consists of an arrangement whereby the bumpers 41 are not departed from their standard length. This result is obtained by simply increasing the number of panels in the series and reducing their longitudinal dimensions. With this arrangement, the space required for stowing away the panels may extend somewhat over the aperture to be closed.
  • Figs. 13 and 14 is illustrated another form of embodiment of a device for locking the panels in their closed positions.
  • a lifting lever 43 pivoted at 44 and adapted, when actuated through a link 45 rotating in the direction of the arrow F1, to be moved to the position shown in Fig. 14.
  • This arrangement may also comprise a stop member 46 covered by a lining of rubber or like resilient material 47 and co-acting with the hook-shaped portion of a bellcrank lever 48 fulcrumed about a fixed pivot pin 49 secured on the runway; this bell-crank lever 48 is also pivotally attached through a pin 51 to a bar extending longitudinally of the runway and pivotally attached, on the other hand, to the link 45 at 52.
  • a closing arrangement for a railway truck or the like comprising back, front and side walls said walls forming together an opening, an open guiding surface on the upper portion of said side walls flanking said opening, at least one series of longitudinally aligned movable panels, lateral roller means on said panels freely resting and rolling on said guiding surface in order to ensure a longitudinal displacement of said panels to open or close the truck, rigid link means for pivotally interconnecting two longitudinally adjacent panels, a stowage space at least at one of the ends of said space located substantially adjacent the respective back or front side, adapted to contain the different panels arranged side by side and in an upended position, inclined guideway portions extending inside said stowage space and constituting an extension of said guiding surface on which said roller means are adapted to move, further guiding means parallel with said inclined guideway portion but somewhat offset with respect thereto extending along the stowage space, lateral protrusions provided on each of said panels for positive cooperation with said further guiding means, the combined action of said protrusions along the
  • pivots ensure the connection of said rigid link means with said panels, the pivot corresponding to at least one of the panels coinciding with the axis of the said rolling means.
  • locking means are provided for said panels for holding them in the closed position, said locking means comprising rod means, catch means on said rod means, apertures on the rear side of at least the panel closest to the stowage space,
  • lever means are provided for occluding the said grooves when the panels ride over said guide means.
