IMPROVEMENT IN RAILWAY-RAIL SRLIUE.
` The Schedule `referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the sam'e.
To all whom it may concern.- V
Be it known that we, JACOB VALENTINE, of Bound Brook, Somerset county, FRANCIS HARRIS, Jun., of Elizabethtown, and State of New Jersey, and CHAUN- CY BARNES, of the city-and State of New York, have 'invented anew and improved Mode of Uniting and Securing the Ends or Junctions of the bars'of Railroad Iron; and do hereby declare that the following j is a full and exact description of the same, reference l being had to the accompanying 4drawingsandl to the letters of reference marked thereon.
`Figure 1 is a perspective drawing, showing the tongue of' the rail on the outside.4
Figure 2 is a perspective view of 'the jacket, with the groove attached thereto.;
` "Figure 3 is a perspective view, showing the two ends united together, with the jacket fastened together thereto, byl which means the same is firmly secured;
Figure 4 is alsection, showing the end view of the rail and the jacket, with theftongue and groove.
To enable others skilled inthe art to make` and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation. l
Fig. 1, letter A represents'the tongue or projection, about three-fourths of an inch wide, and one-halt' anl inch thick, or thereabouts,rolled on the outside of the bars of railroad iron, (the rail being the same as the. H-rail in common use,)`ab0ut midway between the upper and lower surfaces, extendingthe whole length of the bars, with a wrought-iron jacket or flange.
` Fig. 2, letter B represents the groove in the jacket, corresponding with and fitting over the tongue on the Ohtside of the rail, covering or lapping over the joints or junctions of the rails about two feet long, and form ing a complete` tongue and groove, as seen at iig. 4,
letters b b, extending about one foot, more or less, each way from the ends of the same. l
` Fig. 3, letter C represents the two ends butting together, and fastened together by means of the jacket D, which is bolted fast to the rails by means of four screw-bolts a a a a, passing through slot-holes c c c c in both the rails and jacket of sufficient length to al- Wk-Y low for ,the'contraction and expansion of the iron' or rail.
Veinay also use a bar of iron on the inside of the rail, the bolts or screws passing through the jacket, rail, and iron bar, thereby uniting the junctions or ends ot' rails trmly together, with the view of obtaining 'an equal amount of strength at those parts a: at any other part, and of holding each part rmly to its place Vat the cross-joints, also to prevent the ends of the rails from battering or splintering, and producing a smooth even 'sux-face, the same as one continuous rail, thereby adding strength and durability to the road, and giving a steady, easy motion to the cars, being easily put down and readily adjusted or repaired, b f simply taking ont the four screw-bolts a a a a.
s' The jacket D, as shown in Vfigli,V is of sufficient width to extend up tothe top or even 'with the rail, forming a smooth surfaeeof both the rail and ange 0r jacket.
By this combined arrangement, lthe commonA chair `may be dispensed with, as'the whole can be fastened down by means of the common spikes.
We do not claim as our invention the use of' a mere jacket and screw-bolts for the union of thesections of' rails or bars of railroads; but
What We do claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The tongue or projection, rolled on the outsidepf the bar of railroad iron, extending the whole lengtltof the rails, with a groove rolled into .the jacket to correspond with and t over the tongue on the rail, 'forming a complete tongue and groove, the jacket being about two feet or more long, suicient to produce the desired result, the top or upper edge of the jacket to extend even with the upper edgeor 'surface of the bars ot' railroad iron, and bolted fast to the same by means of' screw-bolts, as substantially described.
