REVERSIBLE SWITCH-BLOCK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 249,265, dated November 8, 1881.
Application filed February 17, 1881. {No model.) i
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES R. SMITH, of the city and county of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented an Improved Portable Reversible Switch-Block for Use on' Tramways, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to produce an inexpensive and effective switch block, by means of which cars on tramways may be readily displaced or derailed and as readily replaced upon the track.
My invention consists of a peculiar-shaped blockof iron or othersuitable material adapted toen gage with the rail, as hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows the device in position to displace the car from the track. Fig. 2 shows the same in position to replace the-car upon the track. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are, respectively, side, top, and inverted views of the same.
The switch-block Ais made preferably in the form of a short segment of a circle, of suitable width, provided near each end, and at nearly right angles thereto, with downwardlyprojecting lugs a a, which engage thetrack when in use. Theuppcr surface of said block is slightly convex, terminating in wedge-shaped ends.
The operation of my device is as follows: In the practical running of tramway-cars,'particularly. street-cars, it often becomes necessary, by reason of obstructions, to jump the track and go around such obstruction or onto another track. Under such circumstances the block A is placed upon the track B, in front of the car-wheel O, as shown in Fig. 1. The car is now drawn in the direction of the arrow, when the tread of the wheel 0, coming in contact with the block A, the checked surface a prevents its slipping, and the wheel is raised sufficiently to clear the flange c i'rom the lugs a,.as well as the rail, when the car takes the direction of the switch-block and leaves the track. By simply reversing the block A, as shown in Fig. 2, the car may be replaced upon the track.
The block, being small and light, maybe conveniently carried under the car-seat or suspended from the dasher at some readily accessible point.
Having described 111 y-invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patcut, is-
The reversible switch-block herein described, consisting of the segment-shaped piece A of parallel width, having downwardly-projecting lugs a a formed thereon near each end, as and for the purpose specified.
CHARLES R. SMITH.
