, T. sElTz ANGLE BAR FORRAILROAD RAILS Filed Sept. 29, 1924 fave/afn Arrow@ Patented Feb. 9, 1926.
UNITED STATES THOMAS SEITZ, OF MORGANVILLE, KANSAS.
ANGLE BAR FOR RAILROAD RAILS.
Application led September 29, 1924. Serial No. 740,653.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, THoMAs Snrrz, a citizen of the United States, residing at Morganville, in the county of Clay and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Angle Bars for Railroad Rails, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to angle bars for supporting rails and aims to provide a structure which will compensate for the expansion and contraction of the rails.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a top plan View of one of the improved angle bars structures on one side of the rail, said rail being-shown in section.
Figure 2 is an elevation of one section thereof.
Figure 3 is an elevation of another section thereof.
Figure 4 is a plan view of a plate forming a part of the angle bar.
Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view through the angle bars showing the saine associated with a rail structure.
Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that 5 designates the two sections of the angle bar which are provided with adjacent flanges 6 through which extends a bolt 7 with a nut 8 on one end thereof.
`A spring 9 is disposed about the bolt between one of the flanges 6 and lthe nut S, and tends to hold the angle bars together. The bases of the sections 5 are provided with notches as at'10 in order that spikes may be engaged therewith. The numerals 11 represent rail sections of suitable construction having their ends in abutting relation as at 12, it being noted that the point 12 is disposed to one side of the joint between the angle bar sections 5. The rails 11 are attached to the sections 5 by bolts 13. Recesses 1a are provided in the adjacent portions of the sections 5 for receiving the plate 15, which has its ends notched as at 16 for re- 45 ceiving the bolts 13 adjacent the joint 12. It will thus be seen that the sections 5 will compensate for the contraction and eXpansion of the rails.
It is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will now be clearly understood by those skilled in this art, Jithout a more detailed description thereof.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is r- An angle bar structure comprising a pair of sections abutting in end to end relation so as to be disposed in alinement with each other and provided with flanges at the abutting ends, a bolt extending through said 60 flanges, a spring on the bolt tending to urge said flanges toward each other so as to be normally disposed in abutting relation with each other, said sections being recessed adjacent their abutting ends, a plate seated in 5 said recesses adapted to be disposed alongside the web of a rail, the ends of said plate being notched for receiving bolts connecting the sect-ions to the web of the rail.
