RAI LROAD RAIL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 609,024, dated August 16, 189g.
Application iiled June 19, 1897. `Serial No. 641,436, (No model.) v
cheaper than the ordinary rail now employed.
I accomplish this object by forming the rail in two parts and so arrange them that the tread-section will break joints with adjacent base-sections, thereby avoiding the use of fish-plates and a large number of bolts. I
also arrange the two parts so that the treadsection can be easily reversed, so that both sides will be able to be used.
My invention consists of the above arrangement of parts and such other novel arrangement and construction of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, and speciically pointed out in the claims.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed to' describe the same 4with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section, and Fig. 3 a detached detail perspective view.
ln the said drawings, A and B represent the two parts of the rail. The part A or base portion is provided with the iiange O, by which it is secured in place on the ties, the longitudinal groove D, and the longitudinal curved groove E, which when the part A of the rail is in place forms a recess through which air passes, thereby reducing the expansion of the rail to a minimum. The part A is further provided with the bevel or angle edge F,which fits in a corresponding angular or bevel recess G in the part B.
The part B of the rail is provided with the tread portion H and the web or flat extension Lwhich iits in the longitudinal grooveD when the two parts are in position to be locked together. It is provided with the elongated bolt-openings I to allow for contraction or expansion of that part when in position and with the angular or bevel recesses G on each side, which allow for the reversing of this part, so as to present a new tread-surface to the car-wheels.
In practice the part A is first secured in position and the part B then secured in position and so arranged that its middle point will be over the joint formed by the ends of adjacent parts A and in this manner avoiding the use of fish-plates and requiring a less number of bolts than is ordinarily used.
From the foregoing description it will be seen thatlhave provided a rail that can be produced at a very low iigure and from which a greater amount of wear can be had, owing to the tread being enabled to be reversed; also, by my particular arrangement of the two parts the danger arising from a broken rail is materially decreased, as the bevel and recess will hold the two parts in proper position. This arrangement also provides for the easy and quick removal and substitution of any broken part.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A railroad-rail comprising a fiange having a longitudinal groove centrally arranged in the upper surface thereof, a web formed on one side of said groove, and a head provided with a web extending downwardly from the longitudinal center thereof and having a groove on the under side of the head at each side of the web,- whereby the head portion may be reversed and its web, in either position, inserted in the groove in the Harige, the upper edge of the web of the iange portion being adapted to engage into either of' the grooves in the bottom of the head, substantially as described.
2. A railroad-rail consisting of a flange or base having a central longitudinal groove and a webextending upward on one side thereof, in combination with a reversible head provided with a single web depending therefrom and having longitudinal grooves in its under surface on each side of said web,` the webs being provided with suitable bolt-holes, and bolts engaging through the bolt-holes of both webs to secure them together, the head, by virtueof the provision of `the single web with a groove on each side, being` adapted to be engaged with the base and its web when turned with either side out, substantially as described.
