RAILROAD-GATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,147, dated October 3, 1883,
Application filed January 5, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, DAVID MONEELY and JAMES A. DRAKE, of Princeton, in the county of Gibson and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Railroad- Gates, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawing, forming part of this specification.
This invention relates to gates for railroadcrossings; and the invention consists of the novel construction hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawing is shown a perspective view of our improved railroad-gate.
A indicates a part of a railwaytrack, under which isjournaled a shaft, B, having two up right arms, 0 O, on each side of the track. In a suitable supporting-frame, D, on each side the track, is pivoted a gate, E, which reaches across one of the rails, nearly to the center of the track, and is supported upon said rail when down in closing position. A chain, F, connected to the outer arm, 0, and to the upper part of the gate, at or near the center thereof, is supported in a swinging pulley, G, which is attached to a pendent arm, H, on the frame D. To the two inner arms, 0, are pivoted two bars, I, which are extended along the track in opposite directions, and pivoted at their farthest ends to upright arms J on shafts K, which are journaled under the track, in the manner of the shaft B. The bars I are located on opposite sides of the track from each other, and the two shaft-s K are provided at their centers-that is, between the rails with upright arms L, against one of which the engine will strike when coming from either the wheels against their ends, which would result if the bars were deflected entirely by the wheels. The bars are held down by the wheels until the train has passed.
As the gates are moved through an are when lifted, they cannot bemade to fit close together at the center of the track but a space is left between them, which is closed byka spring-bar, M, secured to the shaft B. The supporting- :frames of the gates are provided with stopupright arms at each side of the track, the
supplemental shafts arranged on opposite sides of said shaft, and connected thereto by bars, and having upright arms at their centers, and the gates pivoted in supporting-frames, and
connected by chains to the outer arms of the central shaft, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination of the shaft having upright arms at each side of the track, the gates pivoted in supporting-frames, and connected by chains to the arms of the said shaft, the upright bar secured to the center of the shaft, to close the space between the gates, and means for oscillating the shaft, substantially as shown and described.
