RAILWAY BUMPING rosr.
No. 322,812. Patente d'July' 21, 1885..
NITED STATES PATENT OFFICEO ELISHA WV. ELLIS, OF LAKE, ILLINOIS.
RAILWAY BUMPlNG-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,812, dated July 21, 1885.
Application filed J une 1, 1585.
To all wh am, it may concern:
Be it known that I, ELISHA W. ELLIS, of Lake, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have inventedanew and useful Improvement in Railway Bumping-Posts, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists in an improvement in railway bumping-posts, whereby the post is tied to and supported by the track, and is hereinafter fully pointed out in the claims.
Figure 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 is a plan View.
A represents the sleepers or ties of a railway-track. E E represent the rails of a railway-track. H represents the bumping-post, set in the ground and anchored there. F represents a wooden shield faced with iron, L, bolted to the post, as shown, and adapted to receive the impact of acar-bumper. Irepresents an iron casting or wooden projection secured to the rear of the post by the bolts which hold shield F thereto, and its rear end rests upon the top of a post or column, K, set
.in the ground in rear of post H. The ends of the rails E E are bent inward and upward, as shown in the drawings, and pass on each side (No model.)
of the post H along the sides of the casting I, and are there secured together by one or more bolts, which pass through the two rails and said casting, as clearly shown in the drawings. The effect is that the post is supported by the track which is held in position by its own weight and the weight of the car or cars upon it, and a very firm and unyielding structure is thus obtained.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In combination with a railway bumpingpost, the end rails of the railway-track bent upward and inward, and secured either di-' rectly or indirectly to the bumping-post, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination of the bumping-post H, the part I, secured to the rear of said post H, the post or column K, adapted to support part I, and the rails E E of the track, bent upward and inward and bolted together in rear of the post H, substantially as shown and described.
ELISHA W. ELLIS.
