Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE;
GEOEGE o. MORGAN, OE OHIOAGO, ILLINOi's.
IMPROVEMENT IN RAILROAD RAILS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 136,852, dated March 18, 1873.
To all whom it imay concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE G. MORGAN,
j of Chicago, in the county of lCook and State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements in Railroad Rails, of which the following is a specification:
Mylllinvention relates to the forming of a solid rail by a combination of parts, by which method I am enabled to connect all of the parts together and to the cross-ties b v the spikes, and to dispense with all bolts for connecting the parts together.
Figure 1 is a vertical transverse section, showing the rail formed by a combination oi' the three parts.
The letter A represents the standard or subrail, made of steel, iron, orother suitable material, the flanges c c resting upon the sleeper. The letter L represents a soft lining or coating, resting upon the sub-rail. The object of this is to make a closer fitting lbetween the sub-rail A and the cap-rail B. The letter B represents the cap part of the rail. It may be made of steel or any suitable material. It tits upon the sub-rail, as shown, with even pressure,.the flanges d d pressing against and supported by the shoulders of the flanges c c, and are held in place by the spikes D.
Fig.` 2 is a side view of the rail, also showing a combination of the three parts as itted different points, saving vertical strength at these points by supporting each other, and forming a continuous rail. The rail is then fastened to the ties and the sections fastened` together by spikes driven into the Yties, thus obviating the necessity for bolts, rivets, or other device for fastenin g the sections together.
I make no claim to the mode of fastening the rail to the sleeper or track when the spikeheads do not also look the cap-piece; but
-I clailn as my inventioni The combination of the sub-rail A, provided with the recessed flanges c and narrow boundary ledges, with the Alining L and cap-rail B, provided )Vith the flanges d ektendinglaterally .to the side ledges so that the spikes D will fasten the parts together and to the ties without rivets or bolts, substantially as specified.
GEORGE C. MORGAN.
