RAILROAD RAIL JOINT. No. 384,249. I Patented June 12, 1888.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
NATHAN T. FRAME, OF JAMESTOW'N, OHIO.
RAILROAD-RAIL JOINT.
EPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 384,249, dated June 12, 1888.
A pplication filed Scptemher24, 188?. Serial No. 250,543. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, NATHAN T. FRAME, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jamestown, in the county ofGreene and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad Rail Joints; and I do declare the following to be a full clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilledintheartto whichitappertainsto make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention consists of a novel construction of rai1-joint for railways, which I call the diagonal joint.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the ends of two rails for a railway. Fig. 2 is a detached view of my solid-metal joint-lock. Fig. 3 is a cross sec tion of the rail at one end of the solid lock, which is represented in position with the rail.
The object of myrail-joint lock is to make a substitute for the ordinary fish-plate.
In the construction of my improvement, instead of cutting the rails directly and completely across vertically, I cut the crown of both rails at one point'and the bases at aconsiderable distance from the vertical line-of the cut in the crown, as shown in Fig. I. Then the coupling-piece or solid joint-lock is made to tit this form or cut of the rails, as shown in Fig. 2. By this construction I make a lapjoint in the rails themselves, and the strain is diagonahas indicated by the dotted line in Fig. 1.
The cheeks I) of the solid lock or couplingpiece are really fish-plates held in place by the neck B of the casting.
Having described my invention,whatIclaim 1s The solid coupling-piece, Fig. 2, in combination with the two rails having their crowns and bases meeting not on the same vertical line, so as to give a diagonal strain upon the continuous or combined rails, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereofI affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
DANIEL BREED, M. T. Ross.
