IMPROVEMENT IN RAILWAY-RAIL JOINTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 153,927, dated August 11, 1874; application filed November 11, 1873.
-for T-rails for railroads than those heretofore known or used.
My invention consists in the construction of the wedgesmade to iit the sleeve, and in aproper adjustment of the sleeve by the leveling pieces, which are connected by the crosstimbers, the whole resting on the tie.
The sleeve incloses the lower part or base of the end of both rails, and is so formed that there is sufiicient space to drive in acute angular-shaped wedges between the sides of the sleeve and the rails. That -part of the sleeve which laps over the base of the rails is made wider at one end than at the other to tit the wedges, which are driven in reversely, one on each side of t h`e rails, so that the head of one comes opposite the end of the other. Leveling pieces, which rest upon the tie, are placed at each end ot" the sleeve. These leveling pieces are cnnected with each other and held in position by cross-timbers, placed parallel to the rails. Spikes driven into the leveling pieces at the heads of the wedges hold them securely in their places.
In order more fully to describe my invention, I refer to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.
Figure I is a side view embodying my invention. Fig. II is a sectional view of the same. Fig. III is a detached plan view of the sleeve. Fig. IV is a detached side view of one of the wedges. A and B represent portions of each rail. O is the sleeve. D D are the wedges. E E are the leveling pieces. F F are the cross-timbers. H is a tie, and J J are spikes for holding the Wedges in place.
Having thus described my invention, I claim- The wedges D D and sleeve C; in combination with the leveling pieces'E E, which are connected by the cross-timbers F F, as and for the purposes'described.
CARL AUGUST BLOMQUIST.
