RAILWAY RAIL COUPLING. No. 265,479. Patented Oct. 3, 1882.
A cites-l3 NITED STATES PATENT GEORGE W'. BAKER, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
RAILWAY-RAIL COUPLING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 265,479, dated October 3, 1882,
Application filed April 12, 1882.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. BAKER, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri,
have invented a certain new and useful 1m-- nary spikes, like those by which the rails are generally secured to the sleeper, in the manner hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a side view of the ends of two rails in position, the coupling device being absent. Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the middle of the joint. Fig. 4 is a top view of the lug by which the plates are locked together.
A A are the contiguous ends of two rails in one track. The ends of the rails are notched or slotted at a for the passage of the lug B, said lug extending from the inner side of the plate B. The slots a should be made at least equal in length to half the width of the lug B, so as to allow the ends of the rails A to come together at the time of their greatest (No model.)
elongation. The plate B is so formed upon the inner side and edges as to fit the cap and base and the side of the web of the rail, substantially as shown in Fig. 3.
B is a lug projecting from the middle of the inside face of the plate B and passing through the slots or notches a in the web of the rails.
O is a lap-plate, similarly formed to the plate B, except that in place of the lug B the plate 0 is formed with a mortise, 0, through which the lug B passes. The plates B and G are made sufficiently strong at all parts to hold the ends of the rail from lateral or vertical displacement. The lug B is made with a hole, I), for the reception of an ordinary rail-spike, D, that is driven into said hole from above, and into a tie or sleeper, (see Fig. 3,) and Whose inher side bears against the faceof the plate 0 above and below the mortise 0, so as to hold the two plates B and O firmlyin position. In the sides of the lug B are notches b, occupied by spikes E, that assist the spike D in preventing the movement of the coupling relatively to the tie F.
I claim as my invention- The combination of side plates, B and 0, lug B, with hole b and notches b, and the spikes D E, for the purpose set forth.
GEORGE WV. BAKER.
