RAILWAY-TRACKSTRUCTURE Applice ti'on filed July 13,
My invention relates to joint or filler blocksfor railway, track structures and articularly toothe type which engzpgesthe hshingsuri'ece of adjacent-rails. in, connection'w th certai 'ci'esignsoi 2111- I ay. frogs, sWitches,- etc; it; nezessz ry to provide [a o1nt or filler block' 'io i connecting the adjacent running rails' where there is in- J slifiioient roomforsplice bars or fish plates 1m and Where itfls desiredto PIOVldQ a stlfler connection than can be obtained with sphec" bars orfish plates.
I Heret'oforejit has been the prs'cticeto pro- 'vide vcast blocksffor' use with such frogs;
switches-eta, butthe objection to this type of block is that it is heavy, cumbersome, an d "not particularly strong.
It is therefore the'object of my inveiition" to provide a jointoe filler block which is;
Q considerably lighter and 'morellserviceahie than thecastjbiwk heretofore used and which is easily n'iamifzictured.
