A. A. BILLINGSLEA.
RAILWAY RAIL JOINT.
Patented Jan. 4, 1887.
V U ITED STATES PATENT OE ICE.
ASA A. BILLINGSLEA, OF CHERRY GROVE, ARKANSAS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- HALF TO HARRY O. GRAVES AND WILLIAM V. BRATTON, BOTH OF PLACE.
RAILWAY-RAIL JOINT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 355,500, dated January 4, 1887.
Application filed August 26, 1886.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, As A. BILLINesLEA,a citizen of the United States, residing at Cherry Grove, in the county of Grant and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railway-Rail Ties; and I do declare the following to be a full, c1ear,and exactdescription of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,an d to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. I
My invention is a new railway-rail tie; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts, as-hereinafter set forth and described in the specification and claims.
Figure 1 is a face view of the outside face of therailway-rail with my tie attached thereto. Fig. 2 is an inside view of the railway-rails, showing the ends of bolts and the ties that come through the rails. Figs. 3, 4:, 5,and 6 are detailed views of the same.
My invention may be attached to the railway-rails now in use;
It consists in the novel construction of its parts, and is described as follows:
There is a plate secured to each end of the rail by means of bolts. I make a plate, A, the inner face,2, of which fits in the depression 3 of the rail A. From the inner face, 2,0i' this plate A extend two bolts, 5, which may or may not have their outer ends, 6, turned down at an angle of ninety degrees. The outer end, 7, of this plate A is turned out at an angleol' ninety degrees,form'ing a flange, 8. From the outer face of this'flange 8extends a flat neck, 9, terminating in a circular head, 10.
To the outer face of the abutting rail B is secured a plate, B. From the inner face,2, of which extend arms 5, similar to the arms 5 on plate A, the outer en'ds,6, of which may or may not be turned down at an angle ofninety degrees. The outer end, 7, of said plate Bis turned out at an angle of ninety degrees, forniing a flange,8. In the outer edge of this flange 8 is cut a mouth, 11, which widens into a circle, 12, which circle is larger than the said Serial No. 211.881. (No model.)
The plates being firmly secured to the outer face of the rails, as above described, it will be seen that the plates A, having the necks 9, are secured to one rail, one on either endyand the plates B are secured to one rail,
.one on either end, and the rails are bolted down to the stringers or crosspieces D by bolts ordinarily used.
When we wish to take out a rail-for example', rail Bwe withdraw the bolts from the inner edge of the said rail B, and then we can turn the inside face of the rail up,which brings 'the mouth 11 of the plates B immediately I over flat necks 9 of the plates A, and we can then lift the rail out of position, the flat necks 9 passing through the mouths 11. Thus it will be seen that this rail B can be removed and replaced by a new one without disturbing 0 the plates A A on the rails A and 0. (See turn the inner face of the rail out and up. This brings the flat necks 9 round,so that they will slip out of the mouths l1, and the rail can be removed without disturbing the plate B or the other rails. The rail is replaced in the same manner as described for rail B. Thus it will be seen that any rail on the entire track may be removed without disturbing the abutting rails or the plates on the abutting rails.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination, with the rails A, B, andO, of plate A, having its inner face, 2, adapted to fit in the depression of said rails, and having bolts 5 extending from its inner face, the flange8standing perpendicular to the face of said plate, flat necks 9 extending from the outer face of said flange 8, and having the circular head 10, and plates B, having bolts 5 extending from the inner face, 2, of said plate, flange standing perpendicular to the face of said p1ate,and having in its outer edge mouths 11 widening into acircle, 12, all substantially as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.
2. In combination with the rails A and plate A, plate B,having the flange 8, months a AS A A BILLINGSLE A.
