constructions and particularly totracks located on paved streets, and t-he principal ob:
ject of the invention istoprovide a structure adapted to be placed along the longit'udinally extending sides' of 'a rail that may` be readily removed to expose the rail fastening means, whereby a worn or useless rail'l may be instantly. replaced by a' new one without the necessity of tearing'up and replacing permanent paving;
It is also an object to provide means for supporting the paving adjacent the rail 'so out. undue expense and labor.-
In thedrawings accompanying thisA speci- .ication Figure 1 is a v transverse section through one rail of al track' showing the re lation of the improvement to the supportT ingties for the track. Fig. 2 is a plairview of the improvement as applied to one interval between two Supporting ties, the bricks not being shown. Fig. 3 isa detail perspective ofa `bracket used lfort-heinner sideof" the,rail. Figi 4 l.is a similar-'view of a bracket normally-used on the outer side of* the rail. Fig.v 5 -is a. cross section of a modi-` fied form of-.a rail which may be used for this purpose.
Heretoforev vin the repairing of street tracks where the paving has been carried across to the rail and .e1nbedding..tlie latter,
l.repairs to the rail and adjustment necessary on the tie plates or bonding vmeans required the destroying of the pavement resulting'uin considerable-loss of material.
This invention overcomes the above- ,objectionsr `l byfproviding a conduit which -is bridged by suitable supporting means on which the usual. vitrified brick may be laid and rigidly supported thereon in 'a position r to be easily removed `to expose the rail and its fastenings.. j
lThe same 'numerals indicate like parts in the diierent views, 6 designating a rail having a\ head with the Alateral sides 7 and 8, to-
gether with vthe flange 9 and the base 10 of the; well-known railroad crosssection. To
supportthis rail in proper relation is shown the common form of tie'll, the rail being .fastened thereto by the usual spikes l2.
Spiked onthe ti-es,11 parallel with the rail), are the angu-larly `formed walls 14 which are preferably provided with a flange 15 extending outwardly toward the rail and i theshoulder `16 formed'in the wall on the flanged side, the outer face 17 being preferably plane and of such height as to reach to the normal surface of the paving 18, form ing a permanent wall for the latter and a protection to the inner edge thereof. The .fiange 16 on this wall is -preferablyprovided with the spikerholes 19 through which the wall may be secured by the spikes 20.
The rail 6 commonly in use at present, is provided with .tlievbrackets 22 and 23,' the form ofv bracket 22Ibeing preferably used where it is desired vto form a groove adja'- cent the rail, this bracket being provided with. the angled arm with supporting face u The bridge platesBO and 31 are preferably rof diferent form, plate 3.0 being provided with a horizontal portion and" a verticall Wall on which is formed the {iange 32 which 'abuts against the lateral face 7 on the lrail .providing the 'groove to receive the AHarige on the carwhcel, the Vertical wall 33 being preferably lcarried to such Ia height abovethe flange` 32 that the brick 35-suppnrted 4thereon willform'a iiush surface with the tread of the rail and the paving 18 adjacent thereto. l The bridging plate 31 is a plane angular roll of metal as are therails and the walls 14, this .and the shoulder 16 with its vertical wall 36 adjacent the' outer side f7 of the head of platel resting upon :the arm 26 connects the shoulder 22, a groove 41 being formed in this flange, the flange 32 being also provided with a lip 42 which engages in the groove 41 so that no later-al displace` ment is possible of the bridge 30. -A similar flange 43 is rolled on the outwardly Vdisposed face of the flange 9 of the rail which is also grooved on its upper side which is adapted to be engaged by the tongue 44 formed on the lower face of the bridging member 3l.
It will readily be seen that by removing one of the bricks 35 any number of the adjoining bricks maybe readily removed, and the bridgingplates y30 and 3l lifted out of engagement, entirely clearing the securing means and the accompanying connections to the rail uncovered by one or more sec- -tions of the bridge plates; thus expediting the labor, time and period for whichvthe track is exposed to danger from trailie, and preserving the edges of the adjoining paving intact, thus materially increasing the life time of the latter.
What I claim is:
l.. A railway track construction, comprising a rail having supporting means there-- on intermediate of its base and its tread, supports parallel with and forming an end Wall for the paving adjacent said rail, and a paving supporting plate carried on said suplportsand said supporting means on said ra1 2. A railway track construction, comprising a rail' supporting means, a rail supported thereon, a supporting lmeans secured'to said rail, a support mounted on said rail supporting means, forming an end wall for Copies of `this patent may ble obtained for five cents each,
paving adjacent thereto, and- ,a bridging bridging and supported on said support and said plate supporting means, and a removable paving medium supported on said plate.
4. A railway track construction, comprising a cross tie, rail, aibracket secured' to said rail on its sides intermediate of its tread and base, flanged plates engaging said bracket on said rail, and means to support the oppositely disposed portions Aof said flanged plates.4
A5. A railway track construction, comprising a .cross tie, a flanged rail supported thereon, said flange being horizontally disposed on said rail intermediate of its tread and base, andapaving supportprovidedwith a horizontally disposed flange projectingI from its rail face enl aging said rail flange, whereby a groove is ormed between the adjacent side of the rail head andthe flange supporting portion of the paving support.
In wit-ness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 28th day of October, 1912.
