UNITED STATES PATENT QFFIOE.
JOHN GOGERTY, OF DECATUR, ILLINOIS.
IMPRCSVEMENT IN RAILROAD-RAIL CHAIR S.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No- 170. 168, dated November 23, 187 5 application filed August 10, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN GOGERTY, of Decatur-, in the county of Macon and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful improvement in Railroad-Chairs, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompany ing drawings.
The object of my invention is to tie the rails together with one piece of metal, dispensing with the bolts and nuts used w'th fish-bars, the chair so.constructed that/"the ends of the rails rest on the tie, and the top of the chair acts as a support under the head of the rail.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents a perspective view of my device; Fig. 2, a transverse section on the dotted lines a; a, Fig. l and Fig. 3, a transverse section on the dotted lines 2 2, Fig. 1.
A represents the chair, made of one piece of metal, and composed of the bars B B, that embrace the sides of the rails R R, the top of the bars conforming in shape to the bottom of the head Goof the rail, as also to the shape of the neck D and the top of the flange E of the rail. The bars are joined together by the base-straps F F, passing under the flange of the rail at each end of the chair. Sufficient space is left between them for the tie G. The base-straps extend below the upper surface of the tie, which will retain the chair on the tie, or a notch may be cut in the bars B B, as
shown at H, and the spike placed tl1erein.,
A railroad-chair made of one piece of metal,
when composed of the bars B B and basestraps F F, substantially as described. JOHN GOGERTY.
