DRIVEWAY CONSTRUCTION.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 4, 1921.
Application filed May 21, 1920. Serial No. 383,234.
T 0 aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, EMIL O. MEELBERG, a citizen of the United States residing at Minneapolis, in the county of l lennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Driveway Construction, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to drive ways for automobiles and the object is to provide an elficient and durable metallic track especially adapted for use in private yards, between streets and garages. The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure l is a top view of a portion of one of the tracks.
Fig. 2 is a bottom view of a portion of one of the tracks as seen in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the double track complete, and showing the method by which automobile wheels are supported.
Referring to the drawing by reference characters, A designatesmy improved sheet metal tracks, each of which is composed of a plurality of interlocked sections, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, such sections being riveted together by rivets B. Each track A is formed at its sides with upwardly curved integral reinforcing portions C which reduce the flexibility of the track. The edges of said portion are also curved downwardly and inwardly so as to prevent any possibility of such edges from cutting the tires D which travel on the track.
The underside of each track A is provided with crossed diagonal braces E which are riveted at their ends in the tracks at F. Such braces thus prevent twisting or bending of the track and together with the reinforcing portions C combine to form a rigid and substantial track construction. As the braces E become pressed and embedded in the ground G they act in a further capacitv to hold the tracks in. a permanent and fixed position on the ground.
Having now, therefore fully shown and described my invention, what I claim to be new and desire to protect by Letters Patent 1s:
1. A device of the class described consisting of a pair of parallel metallic tracks, the lateral edge portions of each of said tracks being curved inwardly thereupon to form reinforcements.
I 2. A device of the class described consistmg of a pair of parallel sectionally formed metallic tracks, diagonal braces fixed at their ends to the underside of each of said tracks.
3. A device of the class described consisting of a pair of parallel sectionally formed metallic tracks, diagonal braces fixed at their ends to the underside of each of said tracks, and longitudinal reinforcing portions integral with the sides of said tracks.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
EMIL O. MEELBERG.
