Description

March 18, 1930. v 0. HAFERKORN 1,750,802
SWITCH RAIL FOR MONORAIL SUSPENDED RAILWAYS Filed March 9, 1928 Patented Mar. 18, 1930 UNITED STATES OSWALD HAFERKOBN, OF I'OPPITZ, NEAR ROCHL-ITZ, GERMANY SWITCH RAIL FOR MONORAIL SUSPENDED RAILWAYS Application filed March 9, 1928, Serial No. 260,405, and in Germany November 22, 1927.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the improved arrangement.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a railway branch with three switch rails,
Figs. 2 and 3 show the switch rail on a larger scale with the adjoining track rails, in closed and open position respectively,
Fig. 4 is a cross-section through a track rail,
Fig. 5 is a cross-section throu h the switch rail with the operating handle thereon,
Fig. 6 is a plan view partly in section of the pivoted attachment of the switch rail to the track rail.
As shown in Fig. 1, the mono-rail suspended railway comprises in the example il lustrated a permanent track a and another permanent track d at right angles thereto, with curved branches 6 between them, which are all suspended from a support 0 by means of brackets 79 (Fig. 2), while between the branches 6 and each of the rail tracks a, cl one switch f is arranged, which consists of a rail section. 7
As shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 6, the switch rail f is at one end pivoted at z to fish plates fixed at h to and projecting somewhat from the end of the permanent track at and slightly spread apart at their freely projecting ends in such a way that the switch rail can be somewhat turned in an upward direction as well as in sidewise directions, while a lower abutment n on the end of the permanent track prevents a movement of the switch rail in a downward direction beyond its normal level.
The free end of the switch is at its lower part provided with a notch k corresponding to a similar notch in the end of the branch rail 6, which has lateral fish-plates Z thereon fixed at m and projecting somewhat therefrom to serve as a guide for the free notched end of the switch rail.
The operation of the switch rail is eliected by means of a se arate handle 0 having a hook p thereon adapted to be placed with its opening 9 sidewise over the switch rail, whereupon the latter can be somewhat lifted and changed from one branch rail 6 to the other, or from the permanent track rail a to the branches 6, as the case may be.
l/Vhat I claim, is:
1. In a switch for mono-rail suspended railways and in combination with a track rail and a branch rail having a free notched end, the arrangement of a switch rail pivoted to the free end of said track rail and movable thereon in upward and sidewise directions and having a free notched end, and means on the said branch rail for guiding the free end of the said switch rail.
2. In a switch for mono-rail suspended railwa s, and in combination with a track rail and a branch rail having a free notched end, the arrangement of a switch rail pivoted to the free end of said track rail and movable thereon in upward and sidewise directions, and having a free notched end, fishplates fixed to the free end of said track rail projecting somewhat therefrom and there spread apart and to which said switch rail is pivoted, and an abutment on the track rail for preventing said switch rail from moving in downward direction beyond its normal level.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
OSl/VALI) HAFERKORN.
