Description
ilnlh hm SAMUELS. BENT, 0F PORT CHESTER, NEW YORK.
Letters Patent No. 112,887. dated March 21, v1237.1.
IMPRovl-:MENT m IRON RAlLlNes.
. The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and mak-ing part of the same.
To all whom 'it 'may concern r `Be it known that I, SAMUEL S. BENT, of Port Chester, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented an Improvement iu Iron Railiugs ;v and the following is hereby declared to be acorrectdescription of the same.
Iron railings have been made with the vertical bars set in top and bottom frames. Such vertical bars have been reduced at lthe ends to form connecting pins,
passing through holes in the frames and riveted up;-
or else a hole has been bored into each end of the bar, into which a pin or screw has been inserted to connect the bar and theft-ame. In either of these instances considerable labor is required, and the railing has to be put together by the manufacturer. rlhe same remarks apply to railings in which there is a collar or ornamental end to the bar adjacent to the frame7 asl such collar has to be forged uponk such rail atconsiderable cost'.
My invention is made to lessen the cost, facilitate construction, lessen bulk in transportation, and allow for polishing the metal bars with great facility.
I make use of round or other-shaped metal bars,
rolled in the usual manner, and out off the said bars into the necessary lengths.
These bars a cv can be turned or 'polished with great lfacility, because they are not disfigured by heating or forging; and the bars being parallel from end to end, they can be tied up easlyinto bundles or packed intov a'small compass for transportation.
The top and bottom bars b c, forming the frame for the metal fence, are to be cast 'of the desired length and sectional shape for the intended railing, and these, with the end posts or intermediate posts of usual character, form the frame or panel of the fence or railing.
My specialfeature of 'invention relates to the sockets d, cast with the rails b and c,' and projecting from the sulface to form ornaments around the ends of the bars c a and to receive the ends4 of such bars, as shown.4
After the rails h and c arecast the sockets d are to be finished by a boring tool that leaves the sockets of 'a size adapted to receive the ends of the bars a, and said sockets may alsobe finished upon the outside by a boring or turning tool.'
Where the panels orsections of the railings are of considerable length,- the bars comay have screws or fastening pins introduced at the ends, as at i t', so as to tie the said rails b c together at suitable intervals. The railings made in this manner are especially adapte d to inside work, such as bank' and oice railings, stable fittings, dto., in which the bars can vbe made of polished metal.
I claim as my invention- The sockets (I, cast upon the rails or frame b c, and receiving the ends of the parallel bars a, as and for the purposes set forth.
Signed this 27th day of' May, A. D. 1870.
SAMUEL S. BENT.
