SAMUEL J. STEWART, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO WILLIAM A. LEYERING, OF SAME PLACE.
, CAR-:TRACKER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 275,728, dated April 10, 1883.
Application filed July 22, 1881. Renewed October 24,1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL J. STEWART, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and 5 State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Oar-Tracker, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to replacing railwaycars on their tracks. I accomplish this by T0 temporarily fixing a guideplate at the point of displacement. The general arrangement of the rail and tracker will be understood from the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a side elevation, viewed from be- 15 tween the rails. Fig. 2 is the same as Fig. 1,
with the exception that it is taken from outside the rails; and Fig. 3 is a plan View.
Similar .letters refer to similar parts in the several views.
A is a railway-trackof any pattern. B is a tracker, the plate a of which should, if possible, differbut little from the shape of the rail A. It has, in this instance, two upwardly-projecting flanges, b, which incline to a suitable point, 25 c, and terminatein depressions d. When placed on the rail A it is maintained in position by means of depending holdfasts e, which take against the outside of the rail, and the depressions d of the flanges bearing on the inside 0 of the same.
When a car gets off the track the device B can be fixed on the rail A before the front 0E wheel, 0, between the rails. On starting the car the wheel will be caught in the depression d, and by running against the flange b it will 35 be forced in that direction until it takes its place on the rail. The effort replaces the other wheels.
I have illustrated and described the device B constructed with two diverging flanges, b, o
so that it can be used on either rail. I wish it distinctly understood that I do not confine myself to one or two flanges, but will use either or both, as circumstances may require.
\Nhat 1 claim as my invention, and desire to 5 secure by Letters Patent, is
The car tracker or replacer B, consisting of the plate a, formed to fit the upper surface of the rail, and provided with the holdfasts 0, one or more oblique flanges, b, projecting from the 0 inner edge of said plate, and the depressed portions d at the outer end of said flanges, substantially as described.
SAMUEL J. STEWART.
