LINING FCR TRACTION VEHICLES.

Application filed )une 8, fo all u1/0111,21

Beit known citizen of the may camera: that l, Ennemi C'. UNSER. a llnited States. residing at in the rountxy of l'lelgrtn and State of New Jersey. have invented certain new and useful lmproveincnts in Linings for Traction Vehivles. ol which the foliowing: is a specification.

' M v said invention relates to an improved inner lining for rara used in ahippiingr grain. or other fluent. material and it is an objet-t of the invention to provide a lining which shall'prevent losas of material hv leakage through the sides. ends or bottom of the. rar.

Other objerts of the invention are to provid:` urb a lining which lshall be made of cheapv materials. which univ be applied to u rar with a minimum expense and which when so applied shall rffertively prevontlealmge of material. forminlgr as it does, suhstantiall)T a hap; closed on all sides, the top oni)r being open.

Another object ot' the invention is topro vide Sorb a. hay.r whirh may he folded into a. Small t'ompart hundle. for storage or trani-t` portation.

llriferriingr to the aroonipanyiug drawings whirh are mudo a part hereof and on which similar reference vlaai-actors indicate .similar parts.

Figurol is a vPrtiral seetion on line l-l of Figure 2 showing: a freight rar with my improved lining in place.

Figure 2 is a .longitudinal section on line 2-2 of 4Figure l.

Figure 3 is a section on line l-Ji of Fig-uro 2. 4

Figui-o 4 shows in v improved lining in open position. and

liguro 5 .shows the same lolded for transportation or storagni,

The bottom is also turned up at the ends to 4form lower edile reenforeements 15.l The end portions of the lining each comprise an outer layer lextending down inside the fold 15 and havingr a lateral extension 17 fitting at its lower end within the fold 13 Specicatin of Letters Patent.

la and forming a An inner side member ol the device. layer 1S at. earh end of the carliuing has a similar side extension 19 and the rorners are reenforced h v bending the ond of member 16 as at 20 and the end of member 1S as at 2l and securing them iu pliu-e. '.lhe door flaps l-l are reenforred by an inner layer 2'2 permanently.` secured thereto and having;r projectingr edges to close the joints between the flaps t4- aru'l side members li' and 19.

As indicated in Figures el and 5 of the lining are against the bottom, 19 collapsing along: and also folding The' door closures bottoni with the side members. the respective.

sertions folding over each other as shown in Figure 5 along lines 26 extending aqross the sides and bottom. ln use the folded device shown in Figure 5 will be placed inside a rar and unfolded and the upper edges ol the ond and the side members will be secured in plat'e as bv lathing :2T whit-h need he only edges in position. Thrl fastening: means also should be only enough to bold the lalhing in place. so that the lining ran be. removed readily and without rlan'iage. (lne of the door closures l-i may then be closed in the position shown in Figure 4 and 'istened liv tacks or laibingr` if desired, against the door are sel'. arross the doorways in the usual manner. this making;r a solid iniperforate in side wall regardless ofthe position of the car door. The other door rlosure may remain on the lloor while the ends of the car are being filled and afterward may be nni'olled or unfolded as the level of the load door closure being placed aga-inni Hiv hoards as the load rises and iastenrd there. ii' dei sired.

The. parts nro preferably connected soi-elif by glue or cement. though other means may be. employed. The door closures in certain cases may also be cemented in plare as. the cai' is Hlled to close the vertiral seau'xs between them and the side pieces.V The entire device may be made at aV low oost and is easily and quickly installed by.' unskilled labor. The lining when in pince will not hinder loading or unloading as the door boards whirh ros flaps or openings are just as lhinge es the doorway and allow full useiof the doors. In

' case the car is shorter than the lining, -t is a simple matter to form a; tuck or fold transverselyot' the whole to ineke it fit. the car.

' ferions changes may be ronde in my de-V vice without de mrtin from the spirit of the invention. Yhile prefer paper as thc material for the entire device, I may use cranves or other cloth, or paper with u backing of cloth or :my other suitable material. but preferably sti-if, folduble materiel that will hold iz crease whereby Storage and transportation are made easier, and it is also made a comparatively easy metter to take down n. lining in one cur und a ply it to another. The ackage shown in igure muy again be folded in either direction so ns tobc one quarter of vthe size there shown roll ten inches Wide.V

so4 as to make e he'rolled form of package is preferred as Ait takes up little space and doe-s awayV with' the-necessity of additional creases. The arrangement of parts may be varied as by arrangin `the inner end 'outerov'erlnpping' edges o the parts in reverse order, by altering the rela.- tive dimensions, Aby providing fastening or it may be rolled :1&1

`means to hold the door flaps shut, ete.

Therefore I do not limit myself to the exact structure shown Vund described but only| as indicated in the appended claims. n

IHoving thus-fully described my seid 1nvention, what 'I claim as new and desire tofsecure b letters .Pat/ent, is:

5. A cui' lining of peper or the like having a bottom, sides :1nd ends permanently attached to each other by overlapping edges, such edges being overlapped at the corners of the lining,7 to produce n double thickness of material und so reen.i"orce the corners, substantially as set forth.
