This 1nember2 has its body portion. provided with a longitudinally extending slot orop'en ing 3., the inner edge of'which, that is the edge adjacent the head of the bolt is.
adapted to aline with the outerwall of the inner qlverlapping portion of the culvertso that the distance between this Wall and the head-hf the bolt is of a distance equalingthe: thickness of the sheet of metal from which the culvert is constructed. Adapted' to be positioned'within the opening 3 of the bolt 2 is a key member 4. wedge shaped body portion provided with a. shoulder 5 and a portion extending from the shoulder of a lesser width than the enlarged portion of the wedge shaped key, as designated by the numeral 6. The shoulder 5 between its point of connection with wedge shaped portionof the key and the extending portion 6 thereof is of a width equaling the thickness of the-overlapping portion of the culvert. w in applying the improved securing device to a culvert the bolt :2 is firstinserted within the openings provided by the over-- lapping sections, the key 4 is then forced between theoverlapping section of the culvert and the outer wall provided by the slot 3 ofthe bolt. As the key is forced inwardly through the slot the shoulder 5 will engage the outer edge provided by the opening 3 within the outer oi overl ping portion of the culvert, thus sec o and retain} ing in locked position ping edges. tom the Hove desci'i ken in condrawings,
