RAIL-JOINT.
To all whom it may concern: Y
Be it known that I, REIMER N. DITHMER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State oflllinois, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Rail-Joints, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in rail joints and has for its object theprovision of an improved joint of this character which is of simple construction and eiicient in operation.
The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which- Y Figure l is a side view illustrating the ends of two-rail sections embodying my invention and shown in assembling positions, Fig. 2, a side elevation of the jointv shown assembled, Fig. 3, a perspective view of the end of one of the rail sections, and Fig. 4i, a perspective view of the end of the other rail section.
The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawing comprises ordinary rail sect-ions l and 2 having the usual The ends of the heads and the lower portion of rail section l is extended to form a supporting projection 3 and the upper portion of the other rail section 2 is extended at i to rest upon projection 3 and form a smooth continuation of the head of rail section l as indicated. Rail section l is provided with side projections 6 at each side of the upper portion of the end thereof and adapted to embrace the projection 4; and a portion of the web on the rail section 2 when the parts are assembled and rest and ride upon side projections 7 projecting from the lower portion of the web of the rail section 2. The under sides of the projections 6 adjacent rail section l are upwardly recessed at 8 to permit the rocking of the ends of the projections 7 therein for assembling or disconnecting the joint and the outer under sides of the projec tions 6 are iiattened at 9 to ride and slide upon the top portions of projection 7 to permit movements due to temperature expansions and contractions. This arrangement constitutes a simple and effective joint for Specification of Letters Patent.
`ing from the spirit of the invention.
therefore, do not wish to be limited to thev Patented ret. 3,1914.
Application mea august 2, 1913. serial No. 782,609.
the purpose in which the parts are so interlo'cked as to constitute a smooth joint when a wheel approaches from either direction and also permits of temperature expansions and contractions.
Each of the rail sections l and 2 is provided with a recess l0 o-n each side adjacent the joint, said recesses being adapted to receive the nose or head of a spike and serve as the means for securing the rail joint to the ties of the road bed.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departprecise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A rail joint comprising two rail sections, one of said sections having the lower portion of its web projected to form a supporting projection .and the other section having its head and the upper portion of its web projected to rest upon the projection on the other section; and side projections on each of said rail sections embracing the web projection of the other, substantially as described.
2. A rail joint comprising two rail sections, one of said sections having the lower portion of its web projected to form a supporting projection and the other section having its head and the upper portion of its web projected to rest upon the projection on the other section; and side projections on each of said rail sections embracing the web projection o-f the other, the upper side projections being recessed on their under sides adjacent the corresponding rail section and having their outer under sides flattened and sliding upon the top surfaces of the side projections of the other section, substantially as described.
3. A rail joint comprising two rail sections, one of said sections having the lower portion of its web projected to form a supporting projection and the other section having its head and the upper portion of its web projected to rest upon the projection on the other section; and integral side projections on each of said sections embracing the web projection of the other, each of said rail sections being inwardly recessed on each side adjacent the joint to receive the nose of a retaining spike, substantially as described.
4. A. rail joint comprising two rail sections, one of said sections having the lower portion of its web projected to form a supporting projection and the other section having its head and the upper portion of its web projected to rest upon the projection on'the other section; and integral side projections on each of said sections embracing the web projection on the other, each of said rail sections being inwardly recessed on each side adjacent the joint to receive the nose of a retaining spike, and the upper side projections being recessed on their under sides adjacent the corresponding rail section and having their outer under sides flattened and sliding upon the top surfaces of the side projections on the other railsection, substan tially as described.l
In testimony whereof I have signed myY name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
