FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 6-6 of FIG. 5; and
FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 7-7 of FIG. 6.
` DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT With reference now to the drawings and in particular FIG. 1 in the exploded perspective view of the pertinent parts of the present invention, it is noted that a freight vehicle side wall is designated generally by the numeral 10. The wall includes a plurality of the usual wall sheets 12 which are joined at a connecting wall post 14 having an open portion extending inwardly into the vehicle. The wall posts of the present invention contemplate a hat-shaped post 14 having a generally U-shaped body portion 15 with depending laterally extending flanges 16 extending therefrom. As noticed in FIG. l, the wall sheets l2 are joined to the wall post flanges 16.
The present invention provides an anchor strip 18 which extends vertically the height of the vertical wall post 14 and is fixedly positioned into the open portion of each wall post, thereby completing the wall post cross section and providing a box-shaped beam member which greatly increases the strength of the vertical wall post and increases the capacity of the post to resist shear loading. The anchor strip 18 includes a plurality of vertically spaced anchors 20 which are formed integrally with strips and have turned-in flanges 2l with end portions turned back towards the anchor strip 18 to provide a smooth surface on the strap anchor post portions for attachment for flexible strapmembers 21a; these rounded flange portions 21a also increase section strength of the strap anchors 20. These turnedin flanges 2l also increase the rigidity of the entire anchor strip 18 by compensating for weakening caused by perforating the openings on each side of the strap anchor bars or post portions 20.
Spaced laterally from the integrally formed anchor portion 20 are the extruded edges 22 which are also formed integrally with the anchor strip 18. These extruded edges 22 provide a spaced aligning means for positioning the anchor strip 18 in the open portion of a vertical wall post 14. By turning in the flange portions 22 a smooth surface is provided for contacting a tie down strap thus preventing damage to the strap. Also, as with the turned-in flanges 21, the extruded edges 22 increase the rigidity of the anchor strip thereby compensating for the openings which have been perforated in the strip to provide the integrally formed anchors 20. Both the turned-in flanges 2l and the extruded edges 22 provide a funnel shaped insertion openings facilitating threading of a lading hold down strap 21a about the strap anchor post portions 20.
Positioned between the vertically spaced anchors 20 are a number of vertically spaced key hole openings 24 having the usual rounded upper portion and a` vertically depending slot 26.
In the modifications shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 the strap contacting edges 28 of each anchor 20 may be arcuate or comprised of a plurality of straight portions which essentially form an arcuate surface. These arcuate sides are oftentimes desirable to prevent high localized stresses in rigid strapping such as steel bands which may undergo high localized stress concentrations during vehicle movement in the event the strapping would be moved from a purely horizontal attached position. The modification also would 'provide a guide plate 30 extending across the wall post 14 vand interconnecting with the extruded edges 22 which have been formed to a lesser extend than the analogous edges 22 in the preferred embodiment of FIG. 2. Because the extrusion is less severe with the extruded edges 22 in the modification of FIG. 6, there is formed a continuous plane at the junction of each extruded edge 22 and the attached guide plates 30.
Referring again to FIG. 1, it is noted that a belt rail 32 is also provided for with the anchor strip of the present invention which allows not only strap anchors to be attached but also provides a means mounting these popular and common belt rails 32. The attached to a belt rail at the same level on the opposite wall of the freight car. A hat-shaped mounting plate 36 is provided for forming aconvenient attachment between the belt rail 32 and the anchor strip 18. This mounting plate includes a U-shaped body portion 37fwith laterally extending flanges 38 extending therefrom. As noted in FIG. 1, a weld W may be used to attach each mounting plate 36 at convenient and selective points along the belt rail 32. Fasteners 40 are provided for attaching the mounting plate 36 into the key hole opening 24 of the anchor strip 18. These fasteners 40 may be easily positioned within the 'horizontally extending slots 4l and easily-aligned with the associated key hole openings 24.
Thus, it is noticed that the applicant has provided structure which may be conveniently and easily attached to conventional freight cars which not only increases the strength of the vertical wail posts but provides a strap anchor and also a mounting means for a belt rail. As mentioned previously, these mounting plates 36 may be preassembled to the belt rail 32 or may be initially attached to the anchor strip 18 with the fasteners 40 and subsequently have the belt rail 32 welded or attached by a mechanical fastener thereto. By providing a strap anchor strip 18 within the open side of the vertical wall posts the car inside with is preserved and the side post strengthened. Slotted openings in the strap anchor strip permit adjustable positioning of lading retaining bars and bulkheads thus making the car adaptable to carry various articles which require restraining members to be applied at different levels.
The foregoing description and drawings merely explain and illustrate the invention and the invention is not limited thereto, except insofar as the appended claims are so limited, as those skilled in the art who have the disclosure before them will be able to make modifications and variations therein without departing from the scope of the invention.
