Description
E. BATZ-EL. Hose-Bridges.
Patented Oct. 7,1873.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD BATZEL, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN HOSE-BRIDGES.
specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 143,400, dated October 7, 1873 application filed February 25, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD BATZEL, of the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improved Hose- Jumper, of. which the following is a "specification:
The object of my invention is to produce a light and portable hose-jumper, of simple and economical construction, for city passenger railway-cars.
I accomplish this object by making the jumper in two pieces or sections, A and A, shown in. the perspective view, Figure l, of the accompanying drawing, each section consisting of a simple block of wood so shaped as to rest solidly upon one of the rails of the track, and each having a metal tongue, B, extending outward onto the rail, while a strip of metal, D, secured to one of the said sections and resting upon the other, serves to bridge over the space between the sections, through which the hose is passed. The whole jumper is curved in the manner best observed in the side elevation, Fig. 2, so as to gradually raise the wheels of the car to a sufficient height to enable them to pass over the hose; and the tongues B, which serve to guide the wheels of the car onto the jumper, are curved so gradually, and are of such length, as to prevent any tendency which the wheels might have to slide the jumper along the track, or to elevate the same at the end opposite that on which the wheels are caused to bear. The blocks A and A have a projecting rib, a, Figs. 1 and 3, coinciding with the tongues B and bridge D, the latter with the said rib sustaining the weight of the treads of the car-wheels, the flanges of which are free from contact with the jumper. The bridge D is permanently secured to the section A of the jumper, so as to form in effect a part of the same, but when in use its opposite end rests on the section A, so that the weight of the car in passing over the same is borne equally by both sections.
The jumper may, if desired, be secured to the tracks by rods 1) attached to the inner side of each section by eyebolts d, the rods being withdrawn from one bolt and turned with the other, as shown at the left-hand side of Fig. 2, to a sufficient extent to permit them to be driven into the ground.
As each jumper consists of but two separate pieces composed almost entirely of wood, a pair of the same can be readily carried in every car, and quickly fitted to the track when required for use.
I claim as my invention A hose-jumper, consisting of the block A, having a tongue, B, and the independent block A, its tongue, and strip D adapted to the recess in the block A, all substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EDWARD BATZEL.
