Application filed November 10, 1924.
proved means for joining the adjacent ends of railway rails. Elie principal object is to provide a oint of thls class, which will eliminate the necessity of using bolts which are ordinarily used to hold fish plates on both sides of the neck of the rails where joined.
A further object of this invention is to provide a pressed steel yoke, strong in con struction, simple in manufacture and inexpensive.
A still further object is to provide nonboltable fish plates in conjunction with a tapered wedge having a channel edge.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel arrangement and construction of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully explained.
In the accompanying drawing z- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the rail joint completely assembled. V
Figure 2 is a cross section taken on line 11 of Figure 1.
'Figure 3 is a side elevation of portion of a rail.
By referring to Figure 1, it will be seen that we have provided a device for securing the ends 1 of ordinary ra1ls2, so that the same may be held in proper relation to each JOINT.
Serial No. 748,832.
By referring to Figure 2, it will be seen that the downwardly turned ends 4t are pro vided with a recess 6 in which rest the bases of rails 2. j
By referring to Figure 3, it will be seen that the neck 7 of the rail 2 is provided with an opening 8.
In. assembling the device, the yoke 3, is slipped over the end of one of the rails and back beyond the end 1 of .the rail 2. The other rail is now placed adjacent so that the I ends 1 meet. The yoke 3 is now slipped out until the central portion of the yoke 53' is opposite the joinin of the ends 1. Fish plates 9 and 10 are now placed in position in the order given. The fish plate 10 is provided with a projection 11 which fits into the opening 8. A tapered wedge 19,
with a channeled'edge 13 is now slipped in between the fish plate 10 and the edge 14. of the central portion 5. When the tapered wedge 12 is driven in the fish plate 9 is forced against an edge 15 ot the central portion 5, thereby firmly gripping the neck 7 of the rails 2. i
that we claim is In a device of the class described, a yoke formed of flat iron Or steel having ends turned downwardly atright angles after desired inner portion has been cut out forma seat for the bases of ordinary rails,
two fish plates having outwardly extending base flanges, a projection formed on one of said fish plates for the purpose of functioning with an opening in the end of the neck of a rail, a tapered wedge having a channeled edge, said wedge functioning between the oppositely disposed edge of the central portion of the yoke and one of the fish plates, substantially as described for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof we atiix our signatures.
