Definitions

  • This invention has as its objective permitting the use of rails in simple sections, as in the conventional system, and the complete elimination of wheel clatter on the joints between sections, without the difficulties that arise from welding the rails.
  • the facing ends of the rails terminate in a lateral notch arranged in a suitable position so that the gap is divided in two'sections starting from the two center faces which coincide with the longitudinal axis plane of the rail.
  • FIG. 1 shows an elevational view of two rails joined by means of a joint made according to this invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows an overhead view of the same joint.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section through IIIIII of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show in perspective the arrangement of the two ends of the rails suitably cut to form the joint according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 ajoint'is shown between the rails (1 and 2) made according to the invention, for. which, employing the most suitable means, the ends of the two rails are proceeded to be cut so they form in each one a notch formed by two perpendicular surfaces between themselves, of which one is coincident with the plane Also, on the running surfaces 3 and5 corresponding to each projecting part of the end of each section and on the part corresponding to the edge of the tranverse surface bevel cuts are made 7 as can be appreciated with more clarity in FIG. 4.
  • bevel cuts 7 are included.
  • a rail joint comprising a pair of juxtaposed rail ends each having an upper running surface and an outer side face, a cutout extending from an end face of each rail into the latter and being defined by a face parallel to .a longitudinal plane of symmetry of the rail, and a second face transverse thereto, said first faces of the pair of rail ends abut against each other, said second faces being parallel and spaced apart, and further .com-
  • prising plane triangular shaped truncations respectively extending from said end face and said second face of each rail obliquely along a line parallel to the longitudinal axis of said rail, and tapering to substantially a point ,on the intersection of the running surface with the outer side face of the respective rail.
  • a rail joint as defined in claim 1 further comprising fish plates with openings therein to receive bolts, attached to at least a portion of the outer side faces and serving to hold said first faces in contact with each other.
