US 4,826,233 A · Vehicular body for hauling hot slag and other materials having a removable metal lining

Abstract

A vehicular body for hauling materials, comprising an external skeletal frame of metal members forming the primary load-bearing structure of the body; a metal lining supported by the skeletal frame and forming the interior surfaces of the body for containing loads of material, the exterior surface of the lining being exposed to the ambient atmosphere through the openings in the skeletal frame; and coupling means securing the lining to the skeletal frame while permitting relative movement between the lining and the frame so that the lining and the frame can expand and contract differentially without stressing each other. The lining of the vehicular body is preferably detachably coupled to the skeletal frame to facilitate removal of the lining for maintenance of replacement purposes.

A vehicular body for hauling hot materials comprising an external skeletal frame of metal members forming the primary load-transmitting structure of the body,

a removable metal lining supported by said skeletal frame and forming the interior surface of the body for containing loads of hot material, the exterior surface of said lining being exposed to the ambient atmosphere through the openings in said skeletal frame for dissipating heat from loads of hot material, and
coupling means securing said lining to said skeletal frame while permitting relative movement between said lining and said frame so that said lining and said frame can expand and contract differentially without stressing each other.
