Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
RICHARD B. HARRISON, OF VICKSBURG, MISSISSIPPI.
MACHINE FOR RAMMING UNDER vSpecification of Letters Patent No.
To all lwiz-0m it may concern Be it known that I, RICHARD B. HARRISON, of Vicksburg, in the county of Warren and State of Mississippi, have invented a Movable Machine for Ramming Earthy Matter 4 drawing.
My movable machine for ramming earthy matter under the cross-ties of rail-roads, is composed in part, `of a platform car whose axles are of such a length that its wheels la., h, will run upon the rails of the rail-road whose' cross-ties are to be leveled up by means of the employment of said machine.
The rams C, C, should be of such a length that they can be freely reciprocated up and down on each side of the cross-ties z', z', without coming in contact with the rails g, g. The said rams are securely fastened to the vertical handles B, B, which pass through oblong apertures near the center of the platform A, of the car, and their upper ends are jointed'to the actuating levers E, E. At their inner ends, the levers E, E, are received between vthe standards D, D, and work upon a connecting fulcrum pin which passes through the said standards.
The rams C, C, may be so guided in their movements, by means of adjustable springs,
THE CROSS-TIES OF RAILROADS.
18,144, dated September 8, 1857.
or their equivalents, that the said movements will force the earthy matter from both sides under the cross-ties, in the most thorough and eficient manner.
The machine may be retained in a proper position for operating upon any given crosstie, by means of hooks f, f, which descend from the sides of the machine and embrace theV rails, as shown in Fig. 1; or any other suitable device may be employed for securing the machine in a stationary position.
In operating the machine, one or two men may be stationed upon the platform A, to operate each of the rams, and another man may be employed for moving the machine forward from one cross-tie to another at proper intervals, and securing the machine in a stationary position while the men upon the "platform may be operating the rams.
What I claim 'as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
My movable machine for ramming earthy matter under the crossties of rail-roads; said machine being composed of reciprocating rams and suitable actuating levers combined with a platform-car, substantially as herein set forth.
rIhe abo-ve specification of my new and improved machine for ramming earthy matter under the cross-ties of railroads signed and witnessed this 16th day of March, 1857.
