Application filed April 22, 1927. Serial No. 185,9061

Thisinvcntion" relates to improvements in' freight cars, in" which the roller bearing is supportedwand protected in a suitable hood formed integrally with the body of the hanger.

Another object of the invention is to provide a door hanger for garages andfreight carswhich is'adapted to co-operate with an improved form of track and bumper'mechanism for limiting the movement of the hanger and door supported thereon.

A further object of the invention is to pro videa door hanger forge iges and freight cars, which will be so arranged to provide a covering hood for the roller bearing, and" a guide roller carried by the body portion of the hanger and adapted to engage the lower surface of a track'to limit the upward movement of the hanger.

Other objects will appear as'the description proceeds. l V e In the accompanying drawings which form a part of my application 7 I Figure 1 is a front View of my preferred;

Like characters of reference are used throughoutthe following specification and the accompanying drawings to designate corresponding parts.

My improved door hanger illustrated in Fi s. l and 2 of the drawingscomprises a body portlon 1 which is provided at ts up per end w th a hood member 2. An axle member 3 is'adapted to be mounted trans versely of the hood 2 and is securely held in position by means of pin l; An oil pasis provided adjacent the'shaft 3 so sage 5 that the same canbe thoroughly lubricated. The roller bearing 6 is provided witha'centrally disposed "annular flange and oppositely disposedbearingsurfaces at'either side of said flange, which are adapted to rest upon the track member 7. A'bushing 8v is provided for the roller bearing 6 and is'a'eapted to contact with the shaft 3. The roller ing 6 may be formedintegrally as illustrated" or may be formed of av plurality of roller surfaces and provide cooperating bearing surfaces for theroller bearing tl. These an-' gle members 91 arespaced'by means of the collars 10 "mounted; upon the bolts 11. A plurality of spacing blocks 12 are attached to the inner angle member 9 and space the same from the siderof the freight car or the garage on which the said track is nedunted.

The door forthe freight car or garageis des trated in Fig. 5 of my drawings and com-.

prises ab'ody portion 17 and aplurality of integrally formedspaced hoods 18 in which I the. roller bearings 19 are mounted. It will be understood that the roller bearings 19 are mounted in the: same manner as the hearings hanger to the door.

Figs.

vided with cent-rally disposed openings 23 through which bearing pins 50 are adapted to be positioned. These bearing pins are arranged to extend transversely of the track and below the same when the hanger is in operative position on the track, thereby limiting the upward movement of the said hanger.

In Figs. 6 and 7 I have illustrated a still further modification of a door hanger which is adapted to be attached to the lower surface of a door. The hanger comprises a body portion 2a and a depending hood member 25. A shaft 26 is disposed transversely of the hood member and supports the roller bearing 27 so that the same may co-operate with and roll on the track 7. A suitable oil passage 28 is provided for lubricating the shaft 26 and bearing 27. It will beobserved that the track 7 is secured to the garage or freight car 9 by means of the long bolts 30 which extend from the outside surface of the track, through the same and are firmly embedded in the said garage or freight car.

The door hanger illustrated in Fig. 8 of the drawings is adapted to be secured to the face of a door and is provided with a forwardly extending web 31 which will be secured to the end of a batten strip on the door. The body portion 32 of the hanger is provided with a forwardly extending hood 33 in which the roller bearing 3tis mounted. It will be understood that this form of door hanger may be used at either side of the door and at the top or bottom thereof.

The door hanger illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10 of the drawings is quite similar to that form of hanger illustrated in Fig. 5 of the drawings, with the exception that instead of the downwardly extending body portion shown in Fig. 5 for attaching the hanger to the door, I now provide a bracket member 35 which will be secured to the door and an angled bolt 36 which will be carried by said bracket and attached at its free end to the hanger. The hanger is provided with a body portion 37, spaced hoods 38 and roller bearing 39 mounted transversely of said hoods. The body portion 37 is also provided with the laterally extending web 40 which carries the ears 11 at its opposite ends, which in turn are adapted to support the bearing rods disposed beneath the track for limiting the upward movement of the hanger. It will be seen that the door i2 is adjustablevertically with respect to the hanger 37.

Many minor changes in detail of construction may be resorted to without departure from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

1. A door hanger for freight car doors and the like, comprising a body portion, spaced hoods formed thereon, shafts mounted transversely of said hoods, roller bearings revolubly mounted on said shafts, a forwardly extending web integrally formed on said bodyportion and disposed below said roller bearings, means carried on said web for limiting the vertical movement of said hanger, and adjustable means for supporting said hanger from said web. I n

2. A door hanger for freight cardoors and the like, comprising a bodv portion. .p-aced hoods formed thereon, shafts mounted transversely of said hoods roller bearings revolubly mounted on said shafts, a forwardly extending web integrally formed on said body portion and disposed below said roller bearings, means carried on said web for limiting the vertical movementof said hanger, a bracket on said door, and an angled hook member adjustab'ly positioned between said web and bracket. V

In testimony whereof-I affix my signature.

JOHN M. ORUM.
