Description
Spetta JOHN FREELAND AND DANIEL WARD, OF NEW YORK, iN. Y.
Letters Patent No. 100,996, dated March 22, 1870.,
IMPROVED RAILWAY RAIL-JOINT.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom yit may concern Be it known that we, JOHN FREELAND and DAN- IEL WARD, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Railroad Rail-Joint; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to 4make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part oi' this specification.
This invention relates to railroad rail-joints, and consists in certain improvements thereon which will be specified hereinafter.
Figure lis a transverse section o' a rail and the joining devices;
Figure 2 is a horizontal section ofthe same;
Figure 3 is a side elevation; and
Figurev 4 is a diagram of the blank for the and one fish-plate to/be contained in one piece.
Similar lett-ers of reference indicate corresponding parts.
We take a iiat piece, A', of wrought or fibrous iron, of the size required and in the form represented in the diagram, and out it through on the line B.
WVe also punch or otherwise form the slot C, and then bend the part D up on the line E, into the position represented in lthe sectional fig. 1, when the said part D is caused to assume the form and position of a fish-plate, connected to the plate A by the ribsF, which are shaped to the curvature of the upper side of the base of the rail but, previous to binding 'the part D up in this manner, we swage or otherwise shape the face which is to fit the curvature of the rail at G, to the reverse form of the said curvature.
We then provide another fish-plate, H, for the other side, wit-h a curved. projection, I, shaped to pass chair through the slot C in the plate A, hook under it at the lower outer edge of the slot, and tit down snugly upon the upper sidel of the base. i
Then the pla-te H is brought to its seat, both the fish-plates are then bolted together through the rail in the common way.
'lhe base-plate A, or chair, is bolted or spiked down upon the tie, after receiving the rails, in the.
usual way.
We also propose to make these chairs or plates A, fish-plates D, and connecting-bars Eby casting, when preferred. 1
The cutting, bending, and shaping of the parts D F EI I may be done in any of the well-known ways.
We may in some cases make both the fish-bars separate from the plate A, and hinge-joint either one or both of them to the said plate, and this we propose to do when found best.
Having thusdesoribed our invention,
We claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A flat base-plate, A, slotted at C, cut in the line B, and haring the iish-plate D formed therefrom by bending and shaping, in the manner described.v
2. The combination of the base A and fish-plate D, formed in one piece, with the sh-plate H having curved projection I thereon, and fitting through the slot C, as set forth.
The above specification of our invention signed by us this 3d day of December, 1869.
JOHN FREELAND.
DANL. WARD.
