B represents strips of metal set on edge and connected together by rods D, which pass through holes in the strips B, and which pass through short sleeves O, lying between the strips, whereby the thin metal strips B are firmly bound together into a substantial structure. The strips B may be run across the track, as shown in Fig. 1, or parallel with the rail, as shown in Fig. 4. The rod D may be fastened at its end by having a head at one end and a nut at the other, as shown in Fig. 3, or in any other suitable way. The strips B may be serrated on their upper edge or not, at will.
. A represents a piece of angle-iron secured to the ties at each end of the cattle-guard, to protect the metal strips B from anything which might hang down from a car and drag along the track.
I make my improved cattle-guard in three sections, one to fit between the rails and two for the outsides of the rails, as shown in Fig. 1.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A cattle-guard consisting of thin strips of perforated metal placed on edge and tied together by rodsfastened through said strips and through sleeves interposed between the strips, substantially as shown and described.
2. A cattle-guard consisting of metal strips B, having perforations, sleeves 0 between said strips, and rods D, passing through said sleeves and strips, all combined substantially as described.
