UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN DOYLE AND JOHN VILLIAMSON, OF IONIA, MICHIGAN.
RAIL-DRILL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 403,040, dated May 7, 1889.
Application filed February 2, 1889. Serial No. 298,421. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be itknown that We, JOHN DOYLE and JOHN WILLIAMSON, citizens of the United States, residing at Ionia, in the county of Ionia and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rail-Drills, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in rail-drills; and the invention consists in the peculiar construction of the rail clamp or holder, whereby rails laid on the track may be conveniently drilled at any place without removing or changing the position of the rails, all as more fully hereinafter described, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the rail-clamp, and Fig. 2 a cross-section of the same as arranged for operation with a ratchetdrill.
A is the shank of the stationary part of the clamp, provided at one end with the jaw B, adapted to embrace one side of the foot of the rail and terminating in the upwardly-extending lip 0, provided with the central notch, D, the lip being adapted to fit against the web of the rail.
E is a rail-shackle slidingly embracing the bar A and provided with the tongue F, adapted to embrace the opposite portion of the foot of a rail placed between it and the shackle B, as shown in Fig. 2.
G is a feed-screw threaded through the upturned end H of the bar A, and this feed-screw is provided with a suitable lever, I, loosely secured in a diametrical hole through the head of the feed-screw.
In practice, if a rail on the track is to be drilled through at any desired place, the earth underneath the rail is sufficiently removed to admit of the jaw B of the clamp being pushed underneath the rail and engaged with the op posite side of the foot of the rail, as shown in Fig. 2. The sliding shackle is then pushed against the opposite side of the rail until the same is firmly embraced. By placing the ratchet-drill between the point of the rail to be drilled and centering it on the feed-screw, it may be operated in the usual manner for drilling holes by gradually feeding the drillstock with the feed-screw.
It will be seen that great power can be brought to feed the drill Without any possibility of displacing the parts, and if the lip C on the jaw bears against the web of the flange on both sides of the direction in which the drill is working no lateral movement of the clamp can take place while the drill is worked.
By providing the lip with the central notch, D, a clean hole can be bored through the Web without any danger of injury to the drill.
Our device is easily portable, so that one man can without difficulty carry it to any place on the track and operate it with the greatest facility, and the advantages of our device as a handy and ready tool for the purpose for which it is designed will readily be acknowledged.
\Vhat we claim as'our invention is- 1. In a rail-drill, a rail-clamp consisting of the stationary j aw provided with the laterallyextending shank and with the upwardlynotched lip fitting against the web of the rail, the movable jaw slidingly secured 011 the lateral shank, and the feed-screw on the end of the shank, the parts being constructed to operate in connection with a ratchet-drill, substantially as described.
2. In a rail-drill, a rail-clamp consisting of the stationary jaw B, plJVlClGCl with the laterally-extending shank A and with the upwardly-extending notched lip 0, parallel with and fitting against the web of the rail, the movable jaw E, slidingly embracing the shank A and provided with the tongue F and the feed-screw G, carried in the upturned end of the shank, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures, in presence of two witnesses, this 13th day of December, 1888.
JOHN DOYLE. JOHN WILLIAMSON.

BENJAMIN F. CALVIN, WILLIAM K. CHRISTIE.
