181 Coil car structure US09169221 1998-10-09 US06543368B1 2003-04-08 James W. Forbes
A railcar unit has a pair of deep sidewalls and a cradle mounted between the sidewalls for carrying coils. The sidewalls span the distance between the two railcar trucks, and act as a pair of deep beams for carrying vertical loads. The deep sidewalls are arranged to extend above and below the center sill of the cradle and to give vertical stiffness to the car. The center sill is a straight through sill for carrying buff and draft loads between the couplers. The cradle is made from a set of cross bearers welded to the center sill to form a series of segmented beams, covered by plating. The cross bearers are welded to the sidewalls at lap joints. The cross bearers are all of the same design and can be made from a rolled beam. The sidewalls have their deepest section at mid-span, and are tapered to a thinner section toward the end structure of the cars. The tapering includes provision of an access way between the railcar truck wheels and the sidewall to permit brake maintenance.
182 Coil Transporter US09966173 2001-09-28 US20030061961A1 2003-04-03 Dan Militaru; Allan Maltby; Mariusz Kubik
The loading troughs 11, 12, 13 of the coil transporter are formed by transverse supports 17, 18, 19 connected to the longitudinal supports 3, 4 of the undercarriage 1. The trough-forming transverse supports are U-shaped supports which are covered by a trough sheet 20 for bearing the coils 14, 15, 16. Together with the covering sheet, they form hollow bodies, which are preferably stiffened with transverse ribs 24. With these trough-forming transverse supports, it is possible for the admissible bearing load of the transporter, with the unloaded weight being the same or reduced, to be increased. Furthermore, the production is simplified on account of a smaller number of connection locations.
183 Rail road car with lading securement storage apparatus US09893368 2001-06-27 US20030002949A1 2003-01-02 Ilario A. Coslovi; Peter N. Jupp; David J. Keats
A center beam car has a main deck structure extending laterally from a main center sill, and a central vertically oriented central beam structure. The center beam so formed defines bunks upon in which to carry cargo. The upper region of the web-work structure includes a top chord mounted to run between two end bulkheads. The cargo can be secured to the deck with straps or webs. When the car is empty the straps or webs can be stored within boxes that are accessible at deck level by a person of average height. The storage boxes can be along the center line of the car, between the posts of the center beam, or they can be located adjacent to the side sills. Further, the boxes can be movable to a raised position, or to a lowered, stored position. A reeling mechanism is provided to facilitate winding of the straps or webs for storage.
184 Slab and coil railcar US10044815 2002-01-09 US20020152924A1 2002-10-24 Robert H. Dorian; Todd L. Lydic
A 100-125 ton capacity steel flat railcar hauls steel slabs with the capacity to alternatively haul steel coils. The car design allows steel slabs of various sizes and weights to be hauled efficiently by placing the slabs longitudinally on the car. The slabs are captive by side stanchions restricting the slabs from lateral movement and bulkheads at the ends preventing longitudinal movement of the slabs. The weight of the slabs is concentrated near the bolsters through raised mounting platforms. The railcar also has the capability to haul steel coils in a built-in trough over the bolster area. The end bulkheads restrict and position the steel coils allowing the coils in each trough to have a gap between them for ease of loading and unloading. The side stanchions restrict the steel coils from unwanted unloading due to coupler forces.
185 Triple trough coil car with deep center sill US09737914 2000-12-15 US20020076290A1 2002-06-20 Mohammed Al-Kaabi; James W. Forbes
A coil car has a pair of deep center sill that is shallow over the trucks, and deeper at a mid span loaction between the trucks. The deep center sill supports a trough structure for carrying generally cylindrical loads, such as coils of steel. Cross-bearers extend outwardly and away from the center sill to attach to side sills. The trough structure has three parallel, longitudinally extending troughsnulla central trough lying between two laterally outboard outer troughs. Each trough is shaped to cradle steel coils, or other similar loads, between its inwardly and downwardly sloping shoulder plates. The shoulder plates are lined with cushioning to buffer coils during loading or travel. The outboard troughs are mounted above longitudinally extending stringers and are carried at a greater height relative to top of rail than the central trough. The car has coil stops to discourage longitudinal shifting of loaded coils. The coil stops have rollers to facilitate repositioning during loading, and a mid-span step and hand grabs to facilitate climbing over the coil stop by personnel walking along the trough structure.

192 Centre beam railroad car US76176 1987-07-21 US4802420A 1989-02-07 Ronald S. Butcher; Mohamed A. Khattab
This invention relates to centre beam freight cars. The purpose of these freight cars is to carry large, bulky freight which does not require much protection from the elements. Thus, any freight car must have wide utility and sufficient rigidity but a tare mass which does not constitute a high proportion of the fully laden mass of the freight car. The prior art freight cars suffer from a high tare mass proportion in order to provide sufficient rigidity. In this invention, a freight car is provided with a centre beam structure in the form of a vertical truss having a horizontal truss mounted on the top of it. Either of the trusses, or both, are in the form of an open truss. This centre beam structure provides a freight car which has adequate resistance to normal lateral and compressive stresses but has a relatively low tare mass in relation to its fully laden mass.
