RAIL JOINT. APPLICATION FILED Arma, 1910.
I- JERRY E. iDUCKT'l, OFV BEAR, ARKANSAS.
RAIL-JOINT.
Specification of Letters Patent. i
Application filed April 5, 1910, Serial No. 553,541.
To all whom tt may concern:
Be it known that I, JERRY E. DUGKETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bear, in the county of' Montgomery, State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rail-Joints; ,and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the .invention, such as will enable others skilled in thev art to which it appertains to make and. use the same.
This invention relates to rail joints.
The obj ect ofthe invention resides in pro-l viding a rail joint which embodies an eX- ceedingly simple construction adapted to, eliciently secure theends of two adjacent rail sections against relative movement.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out inthe appended claim.
In describing the invention in detail reference will be had, to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several views and in which,
Figure 1 is a plan view of a rail joint constructed in accordance with the invention with portions of the adjacent ends of the rail sections associated therewith broken away; Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal section of the joint; Fig. .3, a detail fragmental perspective view of the tie plate and one of the rml sectins, a portion of ,the'former being broken away to show the locking bolt and block; and, Fig. 4, a fragmental perspective' View of the other rail section of the joint.
Referring to the drawings,l A and B represent ,res 'eetively two adjacent rail sections whic have their ends provided with- ,corresponding opposite longitudinal and transverse recesses 10 and 11, and 12 and 13 respectively; the longitudinal recesses 10 and 12 'and the transverse recesses 11 and 13 mating when the rail sections A and B are disposed end to end. A tie plate C, formed of a single sheet of metal 1s bent so as toy produce a -base portion 14 Aand correspond ing side portions 15 and 16 whereby said plate will inclose the chair andweb of said rail sections whenv the latter Aare disposed within the tie plate. The side portion'l of the tie plate is provided with a squared aperture 17 having its cross Section corresponding with the cross section of the combined transverse recesses 11 and 13 and adapted to register with said combined recesses when the rail sections A and B are disposed within the tie plate. The side portion 16 of thel tie plate is provided'with a circular aperf vPatentedtJ an. 17, 1911.
The 'tie p ate C is directly secured to the rail sectionsA and B by bolts 22 and 23 reagainst possible longitudinal displacement from the tie plate.
.Whats claimed is:
In a rail joint., the combination of a pair of rail sections having their adjacent ends spectVel'y, whereby said sections are held provided with corresponding opposed longi tudinal and transverse recesses, the latter having angular cross sections, a tie plate formed of a single piece of metal bent to.;A
form a base and side members inclosing the chair and web of said rail sections. said tie plate having itssides provided. with apertures in alinement with the combined transverse recesses of the rail sections, one of said apertures corresponding in cross section to the "cross section of said 'combined transverse recesses, a bolt extending through the aperture in the side of the tie plate and the combined transverse recesses of the rail section, said bolthaving aiportion of its shank In teistirnoln'y whereof, I aix my signecorresponding Ain cross section to the cross ture, in presence of two witnesses.- section of the combined transverse recesses and one of the apertures of the tie plate, a
5 bloekdisposed in the Vertical recesses of Witnesses:
said rail section and means securing the tie J. G. SU'L'roN, plate directly to the rail section. A. J. GILLHAM.
