CHARLES OATON, OF BOYDS MILLS, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN RAILWAY CATTLE-GUARDS.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 117,600, dated August 1, 1871.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that l, CHARLES (EATON, of Boyds Mills, in the county of Coshocton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cattle-Guard 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing' and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
This invention rel'ates to that class of cattleguards which is formed of a series of bars arranged over an opening; and consists in certain specific details of construction.
In the drawing, Figure l represents a plain view of my improved cattle-guard, and Fig. 2 a transverse sectional elevation ofthe same.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe fully its construction and operation.
A A represent a suitable framework, which surrounds the top of a proper opening. B repreover the opening across the line of the railway, and forms the central support for the bars composing the guard. O O represent two series of bars, c c, arranged upon each side of the central beam B, the outer ends of which are provided with a tongue or projection which rests in sockets in the lower edges of the sills A, and secured thereto by means of pins, as shown. The inner ends of each series are inclined upward, and, crossing each other, are supported in sockets in the central beam, as shown. It will be observed that each socket is adapted to receive a pair of crossed bars. may be employed, if desired, to prevent the bars @from rising out of their sockets By means of this construction the guard may be constructed almost entirely without nails or similar fastenings. l The pins in the beams may be dispensed with, in which case the stay-bar d should be more securely fastened.
The guard when constructed presents a formidable appearance, and thus effectually prevents cattle from crossing it. v
Having thus fully desc;` ib ed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The cattle-guarddescribed, consisting of the frame A A', beam B, bars c c resting in pairs in the sockets of beam B, and stay-bar d, all constructed and arranged specifically as and for the purpose set forth.
This speciiication signed and witnessed this 8th day of February, 1871.
CHARLESV CATON.
