Definitions
- This invention consists in providing a fishplate upon one side of the rail with an extended right-angled bearing-lip, adapted to project into a proper recess out in the adjacent ends of the rails, and rest directly over the vertical web, so that the impact of a passing wheel at the joint is borne by the interposed bearing-lip, and by the web of the rail, instead of by the fish-plate and the securing-bolts.

Railway Rail Joints.

JOSEPH H. BEAN, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN RAILWAY-RAIL JOINTS.
Specification forming part of Letters PatentNo. 153,884, dated August 11, 1874; application filed July 17, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JosEPH H. BEAN, of
Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings and to'the letters of reference marked thereon.
This invention consists in providing a fishplate upon one side of the rail with an extended right-angled bearing-lip, adapted to project into a proper recess out in the adjacent ends of the rails, and rest directly over the vertical web, so that the impact of a passing wheel at the joint is borne by the interposed bearing-lip, and by the web of the rail, instead of by the fish-plate and the securing-bolts.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation of my improved joint; Fig. 2, a partial perspective View of the main fishplate; and Fig. 3, a perspective view, partially in section, of the rail-joint.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe fully its construction,
A A represent rails, of ordinary construc' tion, the adjacent ends of which are properly cut away upon one side of the top portion, to form a suitable recess, a, the inner portion of which is directly over the vertical web of the rail, as shown. B represents a fish-plate, of the usual construction, which is provided in addition with the extended vertical portion b, and the right-angled bearing-lip b, adapted to rest in and till the. recess in the rails A A, as shown.
When the parts are united by the securingbolts and the opposite fish-plate, in the usual manner, it will be observed that the bearinglip I) overhangs and rests upon the vertical web of the rail, so that the impact of a passing Wheel at the jointis borne by the interposed lip and the web of the rail,instead of by the fish-plate and the securing-bolts, as is usual.
The advantages of this construction will be readily appreciated from the foregoing description.
Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a rail-joint, of substantially the described construction, the bearing-lip b, adapted to overhang and rest upon the vertical web of the rail, substantially as described.
This specification signed and witnessed this 10th day of July, 1874.
J. H. BEAN.
