RAIL CONNECTION. v
Application filed July 23, 1925. Serial No. 45,652.
This invention appertains to novel means for connecting the adjacent ends of a pair of members together so as to produce a strong and rigid joint.
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a novel rail joint having the meeting ends of the rail sections provided with diagonal faces having intermeshing teeth formed thereon, the arrangement of the faces allowing the weight of the railroad rolling stock passing over the rails to be borne direct y by the rail at the joint instead of by the fish plates, the teeth forming means for preventing longitudinal movement of the rail sections relative to one another.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel rail joint having the adjacent ends of the rail sections provided with diagonal faces filled or otherwise treated to provide interineshing alligator teeth, the sections being united by the conventional fish plates for preventing lateral shifting movement of the said rail sections relative to one another.
A further object of this invention is to provide a novel rail joint of the above char-- acter, which will effectively unite the rail sections and eliminate noise incident to the rolling stock passing over the joint, and which will be durable and eficient in use,
one that will be simple and easy to manufacture.
iVith these and other objects in View, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts, as will be hereinafter more specifically described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which drawings:
Figure l is a side elevation showing a pair of rail sections with their meeting ends constructed in accordance with this invention,
Figure 2 is a top plan showing the com plete rail joint,
Figure 3 is an end elevation of one of the rail sections, showing the same con structed in accordance with the invention.
Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views the letters A and B generally indicate a pair of rail sections, which 8111- body the conventional ball or tread 5, base flanges 6, and connecting web 7. The connecting web 7 of each rail section adjacent to the junction of the sections A and B is provided with suitable bolt holes.
The meeting faces of the rail sections A and B are arranged at an angle to the transverse aXis of the rails, preferably at an angle of forty five degrees so that the said inclined faces will overlap when the sections A and B are connected together. The inclined faces indicated by the reference character 8 of the rail sections A and B are milled or otherwise treated to provide vertically extending alligator teeth 9 and lO respectively which are adapted to intermesh, when the rail sections A and B are united. Eacn of the inclined faces 8 and the interlocking teeth 9 and 10 also preventundue strain on the fish plates 11 which are utilized for connecting the sections together and thus prevent breakage of said fish plates. The fish plates 11 can be of the usual character and suitable bolts .12 are passed through the fish plates and through the bolt openings in the rail sections A and B.
The fish plates 11 are utilized more per i ticularly in the present invention to prevent the lateral shifting of the rail sections A and B relative to one another.
From the foregoing description, it can be seen that I have provided a novel rail joint in Which an improved means has been pro vided for connecting a pair of rail sect-ions together.
Changes in details may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention, but:
What I claim as new is:
A railroad joint comprising a pair of rail sections each including a web, ball and base flanges, the meeting ends of the rail sections being provided with faces arranged at an incline to the transverse center of the rail sections to permit the overlapping of said rail sections, pointed angularly extending alligator teeth formed on said faces extending from one end thereof to the other adapted to intermesh when the rail sections are connected, the teeth extending vertically from the base flanges to the balls of said railsections, and fish plates connecting the section's together on opposite sides of the joint.
In testimony whereof I aflii: my signature.
PATSY PARISO.
