Definitions

  • Figure 1 is a plan-view and Figure 2 a vertical section of the turntable for two parallel tracks;
  • Figure 3 a vertical view and
  • Figure 4 a plan view of a derailer.
  • the platforms are constituted of fiat or striated iron plates forming a floor-- ing t fixed on a base of metal or wood,
  • the platform has only to be put on-the sleepers of the track for the upper part of the sheet to be at level with the upper part of the rail head.
  • WVedges 0 put between the web of the rail and the edge of the platform, at the end of the latter, in the notch, fix the platform within the track.
  • the base of the platforms is less broad than the sheet t so as to allow them to be put on the sleepers without being hindered by the foot of therails, theclamps or the screw spikes.
  • stop abutments and pulleys for cables are fixed on the platforms.
  • notches e. designedto receive the lug d fixing the derailer I
  • the notch may be replaced by a lug and then it is the derailer that bears a notch in which comes the lug.
  • the derailer is a simple T-iron, f Figures 3 and 4:, sufliciently broad for being placed, one wing Z "between the platform situated in the middle of the track'andthe rail, and the two other wings m? and "Fm/ resting the one on the head of the rail, the other on the platform.
  • One (this is the case on Figures 3 and it) or both ends of the T-iron are bent as at k so as to wheel that is in this way, conducted over the head oft-he rail; the bent end can be arranged so as to lean on the foot of the rail.
  • the wings m and m are notched in this part of the T-iron to allow this iron to be lodged easily between the rail and the platform.
  • the length of the T-iron resting on the platform is in preference higher than the wheel base of the trucks.
  • one of the wings m is notched and raised as at a to provide a handle for removing the T-iron.
  • the other wing m is simply notched to receive the lug of the platform, or is notched ascend for trucks on the platforms where r they have to be handled.” This platform may be used for simple crossings of tracks,
  • a derailing device according to the claim 1, wherein the platform sides being groved, allow them to be blocked in the track with wedges.
