RICHARD B. HOLDREGE, OF CORRY, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN RAILROAD BAILS.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that LRICHARD B. HOLDREGE, of Corry, Erie county, Pennsylvania, have invented an Improved Railroad Rail; and I do hereby declare the following to be an exact description thereof, reference being had to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 of the drawing is a perspective representation of my invention. vertical transverse section of the same.
This invention has relation to railroad rails; and it consists in the-construction and novel arrangement of the removable, anged, and grooved rail-cap and the rail-base whichsupports the cap; also, in the devices by means of which the cap and base are securely fastened together, all substantially as hereinafter more fully described.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, A thesLgna-tes the rail-base, having the horizontal side lianges a, and the central longitudinal prismoidal ridge B. A designates the railcap, having horizontal side anges c, corresponding to and resting on the Ilan ges a., and a central longitudinal channel, b, inclosin g the ridge B, which, with the flanges, braces and supports the cap at every point subject to strain or pressure. This cap may be made "wheels Fig.2 is a y either of steel or iron, and is the only part of the rail subject to wear by the friction of the It is therefore made removable, so that when worn it may be replaced by a new cap, rendering the rail as good as new, and at an expense of probablyonly one-half that of an entire rail. The cap and base are secured together by means of metal straps C, which are bent to conform to the contour of the base and the ianges, and are secured to the foot of the rail by the spikes e, which secure the latter to the ties D.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 4 l. The combination of the base-rail A having the central ridge B and horizontal side ianges a with the removable rail-cap A having the central channel b and corresponding side flanges, substantially as specified and shown.
2. The straps C, in'combination with the rail-base B and removable cap A', substantially as and for the purpose specified.
RICHARD B. HOLDREGE.
