IMPROVEMENT lN RAILWAY-RAIL CHAIRS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,275, dated July 29, 1873; application filed June 28, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL HUBER, of Danville, in the county'of Montour and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Rail-Joints, of which the following is a specification:
The main object of this invention is to prevent the ends of the rails of railroad tracks from being battered or damaged by passing trains; and it consists of a cavity or recess beneath the joint of the rails, whereby a certain degree of elasticity is allowed the ends of the rails.
In the drawing, Figure 1 represents a side view. Fig. 2 is asectional top view ofthe chair, and Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-section of Fig. 1 taken on the line 00 x.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is the chair; B, the rails. D represents the joint of the rails. D is the bed upon which the rails rest. E is the cavity made in this bed beneath the joint, between the bearin gsurfaces F F.
The chair may be made in any manner so that the cavity E is secured. It may be made in two or more pieces, either of cast or wrought iron or steel. In this example of my invention I make the chair in two pieces and fasten the parts together with one or more spikes or bolts. The form of the chair is seen in the cross-section, Fig. 3.
G is a fastening bolt or spike.
The chair is cut away in the parts which hold the bed-flanges of the rail, as represented at H in the drawing, which leaves additional strength at the ends of the chair to support the bearing-surtaces at F F, as seen at I.
The rails of a railway always fail at the ends first; the ends being supported on a solid hearing, there is no elasticity,-and the continual pounding of the wheels batters and brooms up the ends, and soon renders the rail unlit for service unless repaired. By allowing the ends to give in a slight degree their battering is prevented and the rails are preserved.
Having thus described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A rail-chair having a cavity or recess, substantially as seen at E, as and for the purposes described.
