inple and highly etiicientrneans :for avoiding the jar or shock usually eX- a railway car passes onto or scales, and a. further ohject is i incans which may he applied to existing tracks'and scales and which Wiil not require any speciai bearings orother Fittings and hence` Will'be inexpensive as productive oi'g'rcat saving in Wear and te r.
ln the accompanying'drawings, Figure 1 is a rienY in perspective, with parts broken away. .i2 is a transverse section at the end et the approach track rail. Fig. 3 is a yieW of the ease rail.'
in car. j ont my intention, the Whe-els ot a car coninience to rise as they near the ends ot' the approach track railsand gradually continue to risejnntil, they pass the ends ot the approach raiis when they begin to lower until they are 'wholly taken up by the scale track.y Y
"Ehe, means i believe to be. heet adaptable lo cwrying ont my invention, and which i have shawn as embodying my ideas7 consists in an ease rail l which holted to the' anproach rail Q, the treads 'cf the two rails being' nnitforin at the inner endof the ease rail and troni this ooint the tread 3 of the latter gradually rises to the point t which adjacent to the endet the approach rail, aal troni this point to the end' the tread 'he ease rait is incre sharplyinclined7 'treinc end terminating beneath the the scale track rail. The ease rail ooited or otherwise aiiixed to the ap-A proachiraih but is not vin anyway fastened scale rail, hence leaving the scale free and teli Without hindrance from the ease rail. I also preferably torni'that porthe ease rail Which parallels the aprail with an oset which 'tits hetroni tra ck Ainary Object ot' this inyention iste,
twecnthe tread vand base of themapproach rail, thereby strengthening theeasc rail.v
rlhe' advantages oi niy invention will' be, readily appreciated. It Will he noted that no special Afittings 'are necessary. and that by the int-3ans, described when the car Wheels lea-ye the approach railsfthe-scale rail will be depressed to the maximum extent.
l ciairn` as iny invention: l. in combination With a scale track and an approachtrack7 the sca-le track beingdisot the ease rail being gradually raised .relav tiveiy tothe approach rail and then gradnally' lowered in reference to the scale track railythe'endiot the caserail extendingbeloir the tread of the scale track rail.'
