IMPROVEMENT IN RAILROAD-RAIL JOINTS.
v Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,866, dated May 2, 1876; application filed February 5, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD OKEEFFE, of Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Railroad-Rail Joints, of which the following is a specification:
The invention consists in making the fishplates, which hold the ends of rails up to an intermediate short rail, with duplicate holes, arranged as hereinafter more fully described.
The contrivance is mainly intended to be used in connection with the joints of switchrails, for the better regulation of the switches.
The figure is a side elevation of a rail-joint showing my invention.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A-represents 'a short section of a rail such as I use between the rail-ends B, when they separate by contraction to tighten the joint,
and 0 represents duplicate bolt-holes, which I propose to make in the fish-plate E, for
Having thus described my invention, I
claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Paten t The fish-plates E, made with duplicate holes G D to enable the short rail A to be used or not, according to the contraction or expansion of rails, all as shown and described.
