RAIL STRAIGETNING MACHINE.
(NoModel.)
Patented Aug. 2 1, 1883.
WITNESSEST v UNITED STATES l PATENT OFFICE.
RAIL-STRAIGHT SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters ENING nmol-inve.
Patent No. 283,535, dated August 21, 1883.
Application filed May 3, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern,.-
Be it known that I, Circus I. TITTLE, a citizen of the 'United States, residing at Johnstown, in the county of Cambria and State of Fennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Machine for Straightening Rails, of which nal vertical sectional view, and Fig. tis a side view illustrating a modification in the mechanism for operating the machine.
The same letters refer to the same parts in all the iigures.
A in the drawings designates the base, upon which. two uprights or side plates, 'B B, are bolted or otherwise secured; Said side plates have bearngsfor atransverse roller, C, which Ais provided between the said side plates with a spiral iiange or worm, D.
rlhc upper edges of the side plates, B, are provided, directly above the roller C, with dovetailed recesses E, to receive a transversely-sliding plate, F, on the upper side oi' which are secured two blocks, G G, thc lower inner corners of which have recesses H, adapted to receive the flanges of a rail, the web of which will fit between the inner ends of the blocks G. Similarly-constructed blocks I are secured upon the ends of the side plates, B, as shown.
The under side of the slide F isv provided with a groove, J, t0 receive the spiral liange or worinD of the roller C. It will be seen that by operating the latter the said slide may be forced to either side, as desired. Frictionrollers may be arranged at the points of contact; but this is not essential.
The ends ofthe side plates, 13 are provid- 'ed with brackets K K, forming Vhearings for transverse rollers L, which serve to support the rail during the operation of straightening.
Power maybe applied to the roller C bythe following mechanism:
' M is a bevel-gear secured upon the end of the said roller, and engaging pinions N N, which are mounted loosely upon the powershaft O'.
I P are friction-wheels sliding upon the shaft, upon which they are feathered in the usual manner, and adapted to engage .recesses in the ends of the pinions.
The pinions may be simultaneously moved upon the shalt by means of levers Q Q, connected by a rod, R. this mechanism either pinion maybe operated, so as to revolve the gear-wheel and roller in either direction.
In Fig. of the drawings I have shown a different mechanism for operating the roller C, which consists simply of a cog-wheel, S, se- ,cured upon the end of said roller, and engaging a longitudinally'-sliding rack, T, operated by hydraulicpower. By either of these means the movement of the roller may be readilyr reversed and the motion may be. easily controlled. I donot, however, wish to be understood as limiting myself to either of these applications of power, as modiiications might be made in this respect without departing from the spi-rit of my invention.
The operation of my invention will be readily understood from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed. The rail to be straightened is run in upon the rollers L between the blocks G G and I I, and is held securely against lateral displacement by the end blocks, I I, while-the slide carrying the blocks G G is moved in either direction by the described mechanism.
I claim as my invention and desire to sevIn a machine for straightening rails, .the combination ofthe sides rhavin g fixed holdingblocks, the transversely-movable slide having suitable holding-blocks ou its upper side, a spirally-flanged roller arranged under the said slide and engaging a groove in its underside, and mechanism for revolving the said roller in either direction, substantially as set forth.
In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
