Description

Patented Aug. 11, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HOMER L. ROGERS, OF HARTWELL, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE PHILIP CAREY MANU FACTURING COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF OHIO RAIL FILLER Application led June 20,
My invention relates to rail fillers and is more particularly addressed to providing a rail filler consisting of a plurality of mem,- bers, one or more or all of which have been preformed in a factory so that one member may be used as a locking or wedging means to hold the filler in place in the rail.
In the drawing I have shown the cross section of a rail having my improved rail filler on the left of the web of the rail and a modification of my rail filler on the right of the rail. In the dra-wing 1 is the rail; 2 and 3 constitute a rail filler, 3 being a sheet of prepared roofing formed of a sheet of felt saturated with a bitumen. Such a felt is ieXible, elastic and somewhat plastic, by reason of its bitumen saturation.
As shown, the member 3 of the rail filler is placed in the rail between the underside of the ball and the top of the base, after which the member 2, which is a preformed wedged shape member is introduced in the side of the rail and by means of a mallet, hammer or other suitable means is forced into the rail wedging the member 3 firmly against the underside of the ball and the upper side of the base of the rail and thereby locking the rail filler members 2 and3 firmly in position between the ball and the base of the rail.
If desired a space 4 may be left which will form a dead air space tending to assist in the absorption and dissipation of noises resulting from rail vibration.
In the modification shown to the right of the web of the rail in the drawing, the rail filler consists of three preformed members, two of which, 5 and 6 have surfaces conforming to the underside of the ball of the rail and the web and to the upper side of the base and the web of the rail. rIhe faces 0f the two members 5 and 6 adjacent to each other are arranged so that they converge toward each other near the rail web a third member 7 being preformed to serve as a wedge has two surfaces corresponding to the converge surfaces of the members 5 and 6 so that as the member 7 is forced in between the members 5 and 6 by a mallet or ather suitable means, the three members, 5, 6 and 7 are 1927. Serial No. 200,271.
6 of the filler may, if desired, be provided with a longitudinal groove of cut out portion S adapted to fit over spikes or other means holding the rail in place on the tie.
The members 2, 5, 6 and 7 I preferably form to the desired shape in a factory from a material composed of a bitumen, preferably asphalt, a fibrous material either vegetable, animal or mineral and if a harder product is desired I also use pulverulent or granular minerals. If desired, and I have found it satisfactory in some instances, the wedged shape filler members 2 and 7 may be of a less plastic like nature or a more solid and hard nature than the members 3, 5 and 6. This kinsures greater ease in installing the fillers and a more positive sealing effect between the filler and the rail.
If desired, the modification on the right of the web of the rail of lthe drawing could be made in two pieces; the members 6 and 7 being one or the members 5 and 7 being one or in the form shown to the left of the web of the rail the member 3 could be in two pieces or the portion at the top underneath the ball of the rail could be dispensed with or the portion at the bottom above the base of the rail could be dispensed with.
Claim:
In arail filler consisting of a plurality of members, a member adapted to contact with the underside of the ball of the rail, a member adapted to contact with the upper surface of the base of the rail and a member engaging with said members to hold said filler in position in the rail.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
