- UNITED STATES;
JOHN M. HARDY, or SHELRYVILLRMIssoURL RAiLRoAnQTRAom SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No'."381,130, dated April 17, 1 8-88. l i Application filed October 19, 1&887. Serial No. 253,024. (No model.) u
To all whom tim/zyconcern: y
Be it known that I, JOHN ML HARDY, a citi- `zen of the United States of America, residing at Shelbyville, in the county of Shelby and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad-Tracks, of i whichy the following is a specification, refer erice being hadthercinto the accompanying f, drawings. f A y f l This invention relates to improved materials for the constructionl of railroad-track; and it Aconsists in the -partsherein described and the novel and Vpeculiar features incident thereto, which are below set forth. Y
Figure 1 isa top plan view of a section of d track constructed with my improvements. `.-Fig. 2^is a cross-section on the line x x, Fig. l. Fig. 3. is a longitudinal section on the line yf y, Fig.' l. Fi'g.4 is a section, on a larger scale, of a modification. Fig. 5 is a cross-section showing the side bars secured to the bed- .1 pieces by screwbolts.
Inthe drawings, A A represent the rails proper, on which the wheels of the cars are to run. vUpon anV examination of the drawings 2; it will be seen that these are not of the ordi- :v' nary form. They` are fiat upon the top, the late`rally-projecting parts on the ordinary rail, constituting the tread, being. dispensed with. vThe bottom or flange portion isconsiderably wider than the to p, and the bottom surface at a is Hat. The side surfaces incline outward from the top `to the bottom and are prefera! bly concave, as shown in section in Fig; 2.
The bed materials for receiving and'holding in place the railsare constructed and arranged as follows: B B represent metal bedpieces or chairs which lie below the rails/A A andare fastened tothe ties C C. The spikes or other fastening 'devicescan' be passed directly through the central part of these beds or chairpieces B, as shown in'Fig. 3. vUpon these are arranged the parts 'which' hold therails in place laterallyfand which correspond more or less to the sh-plates used in ordinaryr'aill road-track. They'are represented by D D, each consisting of a bar of metalrolled into the shape shown in section, Fig.,2. Upon the,
inner side they are of a conformation correi sponding to that of the ksides a2 of the rails, so
that they can be tted snugly thereto? They rest upon and are rmly-bolted vtothe bede pieces B. At the ends 'they arey provided with' .Y outwardly-projecting lugs or' ears d d2, which f are formedwith perforations, so that screws .or bolts can be passed through them for the` purpose of fastening one lug 'securelyto the, f Y
adjacent one. Y These bars Drunlcontinuously along lthe track.v L y' y ,j It will be seenthatthe rails are not directly Lbolted to any of the parts, asis the case `with the ordinary railroadrails, but they are held snugly-in place bythe bed B and the side bars,
D D. They can expand or contract, as their lconditions may require, withoutstrainingfor affecting any of the otherparts ofthe track .-f s.
I prefer toso arrange the rails and the bedpiecesV that they shall vbreak joints.
Although I have shown and above described that form-ofthe device inwhich the rail is `dat upon the top and in which the Vbed-pieces B Y ,are made separately yfrom the fastening pieces, or bars D, it'will be seen that there canvbe variations in these respects, and in Fig. 4 a
kmodification is shown wherein the parts-B and 75,
lD are made integral Vand in which a raill is used having a top or tread'portion of substantially the ordinary character. What I claim is- Y f 1. In a'railroad-track, the herein-described 8c rail A-having the flat top aand the expanded bottom a,- the bed B, running continuously under the' rail, the side bars, DD, running continpously by the side of the rail and having the fastening-lugs rl' di, substantially as and for 85 the purposes set forth. j A Y v :Y 2. In a railroad-track, the continuous bed Band the sidebars, D D, running continuously l and having-the ears d2, in combination with f the rails, substantially asset forth. 9o In testimony whereof Iattx my signature in presence of two witnesses. y y f JOHN M.`HABDY.
