    Abstract: An underground mine car is disclosed in which the sides and bottom members are at least partly curved preferably having a radius of curvature from about 6 to about 60 feet for the sides and 10 to 30 feet for the bottom, enabling these members to resist applied forces primarily in tension rather than in flexure according to prior construction. In addition, the curved sides transmit longitudinal loads, such as impact and squeeze, more effectively than flat plate construction of equal cross-sectional area. This enables thinner sections to be utilized, and a reduction in car weight can be obtained. Since the number and extent of the welds is marketly reduced in the construction of the invention, and since such welds are often points of inception of corrosive attack, the structure is less susceptible to corrosion and hence this reduction in thickness and thus weight is permissible. The sides and bottom can be made of substantially the same thickness and thus can be made of a single member. Therefore only one longitudinal joint along the bottom of the car is required resulting in inexpensive fabrication. Only one top chord is required to reinforce the unsupported edges of the curved side members. One or a limited number of transversely extending reinforcing members may be provided, if desired, particularly on long cars.

    Abstract: A tie-down system for carrying loads, such as lumber, on the deck of a railroad car is disclosed having resiliently anchored banding providing tie-downs to secure the loads onto the deck so that a minimum travel or shifting of the loads longitudinally along the deck is obtained when the loads settle and impact forces are exerted against the car. The banding is arranged in an endless double loop over the load with the free ends of the bands positioned over the upper surface of the load for tensioning and securement. The double loop permits the banding to slip longitudinally about its anchor points thereby to provide a mechanical advantage and permitting a relatively high initial tensioning to be obtained with conventional tensioning equipment without the use of power tools. Various means are employed to reduce any pretensioning in the banding upon removal of the banding and unloading the flat car. The tie-down assembly is further designed to reduce or substantially eliminate lateral movement of the lading. The tie-down assembly comprises a resilient means for pretensioning the banding, a means for receiving the banding preferably designed to avoid stress concentrations in the banding passing therethrough, and means for providing at least some rotational movement of the tie-down assembly about its own generally vertical axis at least about 20*. Means may be provided on the car for storing the tie-down assembly when not in use. And the tie-down assembly may include means for mounting the same on the car in such a manner that upon removal of the banding therefrom, the assembly automatically assumes a stored position on the car.

    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention a railway car truck is provided including a pair of transversely spaced side frames and a transom which is attached solely to the side frames with a rigid connection to define an integral H frame to maintain the side frames parallel and resist truck hunting. The transom has a cross section which provides torsional flexibility which allows the side frames to rock relative to one another. Above the transom a bolster is provided which extends transversely between the side frames and rests upon spring assemblies mounted in openings in the side frames. The weight of the car body is by car body bearing assemblies mounted on the bolster above the spring assemblies. A bolster center bearing is provided which engages the car body and transmits substantially all horizontal loads from the car body through the bolster to the side frames. The spring assemblies may include two components in which one component has a resultant low spring rate which at all times in traversing ordinary track transmits the weight of the car body to the side frames, and another component having a resultant high spring rate which functions when rough track is traversed to transmit the weight of the car body to the side frames from where the weight is transmitted to the wheels to maintain the wheels on the track while the rough track is being traversed.
