APPLICATION FILED NOV. 25, 1913.

ANNA R. TYE, OF ST. JOSEPH, MISSOURI.
AUTOMATIC STOP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 21, 1914.
Application filed November 25, 1913. Serial No. 803,053.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ANNA R. TYE, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Joseph, in the county of Buchanan and the State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Automatic Stop, of which the following is a specification.
My invent-ion relates to an improvement in switches, which are used in connection with rails in abattoirs, and in other places where meat carcasses, etc., are conveyed by means of trolleys over these rails; and the object of my improvement is to prevent the trolleys from running oii the rail when the switch is open, thus preventing accidents, and from a sanitary standpoint toprevent the meat, etc., from coming in contact with the floor. The object of said automatic stop is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1, is a side View of a switch open, with automatic stop attached, in an erect position; Fig. 2, is a side view of a switch closed, with automatic stop attached, in a horizontal position; Fig. 3, is a top View of a switch closed, with automatic stop attached, in a horizontal position; Fig. 4:, is a top View of a switch open, with the automatic stop attached, in an erect position; Fig. 5, is a side view of the automatic stop attached to a rail; Fig. 6, is a back view of the automatic stop attached to a rail.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several figures.
A, relates to the switch casting, B, is the straight part of the switch, which connects the rails when the switch is closed, 0, is the curved part of the switch, which connects a curved rail, D, is a straight rail; a, indicates the automatic stop, 6, indicates the bolt through the automatic stop, and the rails, the hole in the rail giving full play to the bolt.
0, is the curved upper portion of the automatic stop, (Z, is a lug fastened on to part of switch B, to come in contact with curved portion of stop 0, to operate and throw the same.
6, is the curved lower part of the automatic stop, to permit trolleys to pass without binding, and same portion is of such weight as to cause stop to automatically resume an erect position to act as a stop on rail plane D.
f, is an oblique miter to permit swivel to a horizontal position, to straight rail plane D.
g, is an offset in straight rail to receive straight rail of switch B.
h, is an oblique miter of straight rail to permit of swivel f, of stop to a horizontal position.
Some switches are reversed, B, being curved, and C, being straight. The automatic stop will work efliciently on both kind of switches. Also these stops are made in both right and left patterns.
Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a stop for overhead rails, or tracks in combination with a switch, with a lug attached, of a lever pivotally mounted which is actuated by said lug on switch, said lever being supported by means of a bolt passing through the thicker to the thinner side of said lever, the thinner side of said lever being threaded to securely hold the bolt, and the said bolt passing through an aperture in the rail said aperture being sufficiently large so as to allow the shaft of the bolt to move with perfect freedom.
2. In an automatic stop for overhead rails, or tracks in combination with a switch, with a lug attached, of a lever pivotally mounted, said lever being weighted at the bottom, whichweighted end normally holds the said lever in a predetermined position, said lug on the switch being adapted to move the said stop in another position, when so actuated by the lug, the upper portion of stop is curved from switch to receive trolleys without breaking them when they come in contact with said stop.
ANNA B. TYE.
