Improvement in Jamb Nuts.
PatentedfNov. 7,1871..
NITED 'STATES d WILLIAM H. VAN OLEVE, 0F YPSILANTI, MICHIGAN.
IMPROVEMENT IN JAM-NUTS.
Speciioation forming part of Letters Patent No. 120,798, dated November '7, 1871.
To all (whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. VAN GLEVE, of Ypsilanti, in the county of Washtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metal-Gased Wooden Jam- Nuts; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon and being a part of this specification, in which my device is shown in perspective on a track-bolt.
This invention has for its object to provide a reliable jam-nut applicable wherever iron nuts are used for that purpose, at a fraction of their cost. The invention consists in a simple nut made of wood, either with or without a screwthread cut in it, and incased in a light metallic hoop or binding, as more fully hereinafter set forth.
In the drawing, A represents a rectangular wooden nut incased in a light metallic frame, A, which, for obvious reasons, is preferably made of malleable cast-iron, although other metals may be used. In many situations it would be advisable to treat the nut by boiling it in tallow or oil, or by any of the known chemical processes for preserving it. The wood should be of some -of the varieties which combine toughness with tendency to split such as rock elm, pepperidge, buttonwood, t c. It is not necessary to cut the threads in the nut, as when it is screwed on the bolt the latter embeds its thread in the opening ofthe nut when the latter is forcibly screwed on. rlhe band may be shrunk on the nut, or the latter driven into the former, in either case the nut will be prevented from splitting. B represents a track-bolt; and C, its iron nut, which is prevented from being loosened by the vibration of passing trains on the rail in which it is placed by my wood en j alu-nut, which answers the purpose as well as an iron nut at less than one-half the cost.
As a jamb-nut it is superior to one made of metal, as the elasticity of the wood, as is well known, tends to absorb vibration, while the adhesion between the two threads is greater by reason of the elasticity of the wood.
I claiin As a new article of manufacture, the wooden jam-nut A, hooped or incased with a metallic band, A', as described.
WILLIAM H. VAN GLEVE.
