MARTIN L. STROTHER, OF TONOPAH, NEVADA, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF TO WILLIAM VORLAUFER, OF TONOPAI-I, NEVADA.
CAR-REPLACER.
Application filed September 28, 1910.
To all whom 2'25 may concern:
Be it known that I, MARTIN L. STROTHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tonopah, in the county of Nye and State of Nevada, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Car-Replacers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in car replacers, the object being to provide a car replacer which is so constructed that the same can be readily placed in position on the ties and rail, whereby the derailed wheel can be readily drawn back upon the track.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a car replacer with a pivoted guide rail and a pivotally and slidably mounted rail plate which co-acts with the rail in such a manner that the wheel will be carried over the plate and guide rail back upon the track smoothly.
Another object of my invention is to provide a rail plate with means for holding the same in position on the rail in such a manner that all danger of the same turning or moving in any way when the wheel is traveling over the replacer is prevented.
With these objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.
Figure 1 is a top plan view of my improved car replacer showing the application of the same. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section along the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a transverse section along the line 44 of Figs. 1 and 3.
In carrying out my improved invention, I employ a base A, which is preferably formed wedge shaped, and is provided with a flat top having an inclined portion eX- tending from said top to a point adjacent its widest end, the said base at the widest end terminating in a beveled face A in order to allow the wheel of the car to run easily thereon, and said base is provided with spurs or claws on. its bottom for engaging the ties in such a manner that when pressure is brought on the base the spurs or claws will embed themselves into the ties in order to prevent the base from moving in any way. The upper end of the base is sub- Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 584,264.
stantially the height of the rail, and the base is placed up against the rail as clearly shown either upon the inside or outside as the case may be, it of course being understood that two or more of these replacers can be used.
Pivotally mounted on the base A is a guide rail B which is provided with a beveled lower end B and is supported centrally on the base by the pivot pin G in such a mannor that the same can swing freely. The other end of the guide rail B is provided with a notch B in which extends the pointed end D of a wedge shaped rail plate D which is pivotally and slidably mounted upon the base A, and is provided with shoulders D for limiting the movement of the same, and has a beveled end D over which the wheel is adapted to pass so as to let the same down smoothly upon the rail. The plate is carried by a pivot bolt E, which is mounted in a slot E formed in the base-A, in such a manner that the bolt can be moved laterally in order to throw the rail plate into such a position in respect to the guide rail that the wheel being placed upon the track will be guided upon the rail.
The rail plate D is provided with depending members F having beveled edges which are adapted to drop down along side of the same in such a manner that it will be impossible for the replacer to move, and it will be seen that as the car wheel rides up over the guide wheel the flange engages the side edge of the same and also the side edge of the rail plates so that the wheel will be carried back upon the rail without any danger of it jumping off of the replacer. It is of course understood that the replacer is so constructed that the same can be used for replacing a wheel upon either rail of the track.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided a car replacer which is provided with a pivoted rail and rail plate, which are so mounted that the same can be readily moved into such a position that a wheel will be guided when being drawn back upon the track.
In using my improved car replacer, a
wedge-shaped incline replacer similar in to which the car replacer is placed. so that both wheels will be carried to the respective rails.
What I claim is 1. A car replacer comprising a base having -a fiat top and an inclined portion, a
guide rail pivotally mounted upon the inclined portion, and a plate pivotally mounted upon the flat top portion, said plate being adapted to co-act with the guide rail and being capable of movement transversely upon said top portion.
2. A car replacer comprising a base having a flat top terminating in an inclined portion and provided with spurs on its bot tom, a guide rail pivotally mounted on said base and a rail plate pivotally and adjustably mounted on said base, said raile plate being provided with means for securing the same to a track rail.
3. A car replacer comprising a base provided with a pivotally mounted guide rail having a notched end, a rail plate pivotally and adjustably mounted on said base, said rail plate extending into the notch of said guide rail.
4. A car replacer comprising a base having a flat top and an inclined end portion leading to said top, a guide rail pivotally mounted on said base, having a beveled end, said guide rail being provided with a notch, a wedge-shaped rail plate pivotally and adjustably mounted on said top and extending into the notch of the guide rail, and dependsecuring the latter to a track rail.
5. A car replacer comprising a base provided with spurs for holding the same in position on the ties adjacent the rail, said base being of less height at one end than at the other, a guide rail pivotally mounted on said base having a notch at one end, a wedge shaped rail plate pivotally and adjustably mounted on thehighest portion of said base and extending into said notch, said rail plate being provided with shoulders, and depending members carried by said rail plate adapted to engage the rail of the track for securing said rail plate to the track rail.
