J. G. HoLLInAY;
Railroadail Joint.
Patented Oct. 19,1875.
WITNESSES ATTGBHEYSL UNITED STATES PATENT QEEIoEc JAMES G. HOLLIDAY, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO HIM- SELF AND FRANK E. HUTCHINSON, OF SAME PLAGE.
IMPROVEMENT IN RAILROAD-RAIL JOINTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 168,906, dated October 19, 1875; application led September 4, 1875.
Figure l is a side elevation of my improved rail-joint. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on line .1: a: of Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on line y y of Fig. l.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts.
A is the key in the notched ends of the rails B, having its ends projecting into sockets in the iish-plates O, but not through them., so that the key has greater vertical support frorn the sh-plates than it would have if it extended through them, because they are not weakened as they would be by slots. E represents the plate for holding the rails down to the tie F. It sits under a shoulder, Gr, of one of the fish-plates, to sustain the vertical stress on the joints as muchl as possible, and it ranges under the nuts H, so as to prevent them from turning and working loose.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The plate E for binding the rails on the ties, arranged under a shoulder, G, ofthe lish-plate, and contrived to form a lock for the nuts, substantially as specified.
JAMES G. HOLLIDAY. Witnesses:
C. SNIVELY, R. P. HEMINGRAY.
