KEYWAY RAIL-JOINT TlE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 71 5,698, dated December 9, 1902.
Application tiled January 24,1902. Serial No. 91,130. (No model.)
T0 all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK PAUL SALEME, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Juniata, in the countyof Blair and State of Pennsylvania, (whose post-office is Kipple,) have invented a new and useful Keyway Rail-JointTie and Common Keyway- Tie, of which the followingis a specification.
My invention relates to improvements on the rail-joint and fastening of rail to the tie by a keyway which is tapered; and the objects of my improvements are, first, the joining o f rails on one tie; second, rails are fastened to the ties by a keyway, third, the key- Way protects the rail and tie, and this key- Way is used for rail-joint and common tie. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a side elevation with a section through both rails and also shown where setscrews are located on key..V Fig. 2 is an end elevationl which shows that the ties are hollow and that the rail -joint tie has a rib through the center of tie; also shows pointed heads on the bottom of ties. Fig. 3 is a top View of the track, which is the general arrangement of laying the ties in position; also shows how rails are connected andl that the keys are driven in place right and left', which are indicated by arrows; Fig;4,a detailed view in perspective of the rail-joint tie and the blocks thereon shown for connecting rails; Fig. 5, a detailed sectional View through the line l 2. (See Fig. 2.) Fig; 6 represents two pieces of rails for connection on the railjoint tie.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views. l
The part A is cast onto tie B, and blocks C are cast ontotie B, so as to hold the .ends of both rails for rail-joint connection. These blocks C are only applied to tie B, which is used for rail-joint connection, -The blocks C are cast in position so as to allow contraction and expansion at the rail connection D. (See Fig. 6.) The triangular form cut E (see Fig. 6) is to be larger than block C, so as to allow a little clearance. Tie B and tie F have pointed heads G cast on the bottom, so as to prevent the ties B and F from moving when placed in position, also that the pointed heads G should be located far enough apart to allow for tamping the ties B and F with stone. Ties B and F are hollow, with the exception of tie B, which has a rib B through the center, so as to give it more support, for the reason that this tie Bis used for rail-joint connection. When key I is driven into taper Way J', it tightens the rail, and this key I to have a slot K, extending parallel with thera-il, also hole M (see Fig. 5) for set-screw N, which is tapped into ties B and F. This set-screw N is used in case anybody tampers with the track; also, set-screw N to have a Washer O. Key P is larger than key I (see Fig. 1) in case of regaging rails, by which I put key I in the place of key P, and in the place of key P, I put key I, so as to have the rails in normal condition after track is regaged. This operation applies only to the one side of ties B and F, which has the two taper ways J for the keys I and P. Tie F is not as large as tie B, but is made on a principle similar to tie B. (See Figs. 2 and When track islaid,tiesB and F are arranged in similar position, (see Fig. 3,) so as to make it secure, and when track is arranged in this position it acts as one body. The ties B and F are placed in that position throughout the distance.
My invention is applicable to steam, electric, and all other railway-tracks and presents a durablestructure not liable to dislocation when properly adjusted and in the event of the derailment of cars prevents the track from being torn up. It furthermore presents a structure which-is free from obstructions to catch chains, rods, or other parts ofthe vrigging carried by a train when the same are hanging down from the cars passing over the track.
I am aware that prior to my invention tracks have been laid with Wooden ties and rails fastened with bolts, nuts,nut]ocks and at the rail-joint connection fish-plates used. I therefore do not claim such a combination; but
What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a rail-joint, the combination with a metallic tie having a keyway cast thereon and projections in said keyway, of rails having notches therein larger than and engaging said projections, of a key securing the rails in said keyway, a slot in said key, and a, boit rigidly secured in said tie and sliding in said slot.
2. In a railway-joint, the combination with a metallic tie having a keyway cast; thereon, and projections in said keyway, of mils having notches therein larger Lhan and engaging said projections, of a key securing bhe rails in said keyway, a slot; in said key, a bolt rigidly secured in said tie and sliding in said slot, and pointed projections cast on the un- 'lo der surface of said tie.
In tesiilnony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribingr witnesses.
FRANK PAUL SALEME.
