RAIL-COUPLING AND BED-PLATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,928, dated December 12, 1882.
Application filed June 12, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, JOHN NEY, ofSheridan, county of Placer, State of California, have in vented an Improved Rail-Coupling and Bed- Plate; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My invention relates to a novel rail-coupling and bed-plate for railways; and it consists i'n a peculiar cap, fitting over the meeting ends or [0 joints of the rails and bolted down to a peculiar cap, but of the bed-plate to which it is bolted.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 1 2, Fig. 3; Fig. 3, a longitudinal section of the coupling capand plate A; Fig. 4, an elevation of the rail E; Fig. 5, a plan showing bottom of plate A.
A represents the bed-plate. This consists of two pieces or sections, with side flanges, a, framed into each other and pivoted together by means of a cross-bolt, a, passing through the overlapping edges.
B represents the coupling cap. This is shaped somewhat like an ordinary T-rail, having the rolling-surface b, a hollow or recessed body or core, b, and sloping flanges b These flanges lie between the side flanges, a, of the bed-plate, and have secured to them or formed with them ears b, which extend down into apertures or sockets in the bed-plate. Grossbolts 0 pass through the bed-plate and through the ears b from side to side, thus holding the cap B down to the bed-plate;
Let E E represent a portion of meeting-rails. These are ordinary T- rails with a portion of the ball or rolling-surface cut away down to the body of the rail. The ends of the rail are fitted into the socket of thecap, their flanges passing under the flange b of the cap between them and the bed-plate, and their bodies pass ing into the grooved or recessed body b said cap. Their ends meet at the middle, and their rollingsurfaces continue the even plane of the rolling-surface ofthe cap.
D are spikes driven down through the flanges b of the cap, through the edges of the flanges of the rails, and through the bed-plate into the cross-tie below.
F are bolts'driven through the bodies or core of the cap and the rails and secured by nuts, as shown. These nuts are locked in position by the heads of spikes ]),thus providing inseparation can occur at the joint, and the pos-- sible sinking is provided for by thejointed bedplate, which, by being adapted to yield at its middle, may conform itself to any alterations and still hold the ('ap B straight. The arrangement of bolts is to the best advantage in holding all the parts together and in securing them firmly to the road-bed. The cap B may be made of any suitable length, and may be placed on any part of the rail to repair it when necessary.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A combined rail coupling and bed-plate consisting of the two-partjointed bed-plate A, the coupling-cap B, having a rolling-surface, b, a hollow or grooved body, b, flanges b and ears b said cap being s cured to the bed-plate b bolts 0, and the railsE E, fitting within said cap and bolted therein, as shown, the whole device being secured to the road-bed by spikes D, sub stantially as herein, described.
In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand.
JOHN NEY. Witnesses I FRANKLIN DALLAs, PETER TINCHETTE.
