Application filed December 80, 1889- Serial No. 335,361. 1\ o model.)
To all whom it inay concern.- I C G are arched cross braces or trusses, which Be it known that I, CONRAD J. KILIAN, of may be conveniently formed of gas 4 pipe, Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and angle or T rails, which are inserted at the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new ends in mortises formed for their reception in 5 5 5 and useful Improvements in Guards and Stays the upper ends of the posts A A, or in blocks for Electric-Railway WVires; and I do hereby a an attached thereto for the purpose. declare that the following is a full, clear, and D D are depending wires or hangers atexact description of the invention, which will tached at their upper ends to the arched enable others skilled in the art to which it braces C C and at their lower ends to the 1o pertains to make and use the same, refercross-wires B B, and provided with suitable ence being had to the accompanying drawinsulation. ings, and to the letters of reference marked E E are the transmission-wires, which serve thereon, which form a part of this specificato conduct the electric current from the gention. erator to the electric motors on the cars. [5 The main objects of my invention are to They are attached to and suitably insulated avoid the danger resulting from broken or from the cross-Wires B B, preferably adjacent crossed wires, to more effectually support the to the attachment of the hangers D D thereto. transmission-wires, and to strengthen and FFare supportingandguard wires stretched stiiten the supports foroverhead electric-railover the transmission-wires E E and attached 7o 20 way wires. to the trusses C O, which they cross, thereby It consists, essentially, of a guardwire bracing the same laterally and the posts to stretched over the transmission-wire, of dewhich they are attached. pending'wires connecting the same with the f f are hangers connecting the transmissiontransmission-wire at suitable intervals, of Wires E E with the supporting-wires F F at 2 5 guard-wires stretched parallel with the transintervals between the several trusses C O, as mission-Wires at one side thereof, so as to shown in Fig. 3. They are provided with prevent broken Wires falling across the same suitable insulation to prevent the current from comingin contact with the transmissionfrom being diverted through the same into wires, and of certain other peculiarities of the supporting-wires F F. The wires F F 0 construction and arrangement hereinafter deserve not only to stay the trusses O O, to which scribed, and pointed out in the claims. they are attached, but also to prevent falling In the accompanying drawings, like letters cross-wires from coming in contact with the designate the same parts in the several figtransmission-wires, and the hangers ff serve ures. not only to sustain the transmission-wires in 35 Figure 1 represents a pair of the supportthe proper position between the cross-wires ing-posts onopposite sides of the railway the B B, but also to prevent the ends of the cross-wire, and the arched brace or truss contransmission-wires falling to the ground in necting the upper ends of said posts with their case of breaks at intermediate points between connections. Fig. 2 is a cross-section, on an the cross-wires B B, thereby greatly reducing o 40 enlarged scale, of the transmission-wires, the the danger resulting from broken wires to supporting and guard wires, and their 0011- persons and animals passing under the same. nections at a point between the posts; and G G are guard-wires stretched parallel with Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the same. the transmission-Wires at the outer sides A A are the supporting-posts, formed of thereof and a short distance therefrom, being 5 45 joints or single pieces of iron pipe or other attached to and supported by the cross-wires suitable material possessing the requisite B B. At intermediate points they are held strength, and setin pairs-one on each side of at the proper distance from the transmissionthe railwayas shown in Fig. 1. wires E E by arms g g, attached to the hang- B is a cross wire or cable connecting the ers f f, as shown in Fig.2. These wires, with 50 upper ends of each pair of opposite posts, and the overhead guard and supporting wires F F, provided with suitable insulation. prevent other wires falling across them from coming in contact with and taking the cnrrent from the transmission-wires E E, thereby avoiding a very great source of danger to life and property.
I claim- 1. In an electric railway, the combination, with the supporting-posts and transmittingwire, of cross-wires connecting the upper ends of opposite posts, cross-braces between said posts, and a guard-wire stretched over the transmitting-wire and attached to said crossbraees, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. In an electric railway, the combination, with the supporting-posts and transmittingwire, of crossavires connecting the npperends of opposite posts, cross-braces between said posts, a guard-wire stretched over the transmitt ing-wire and attached to said crossbraces, and hangers connecting said transmittingwire with said guard-wire at intervals between said braces, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
In an electric railway, the combination, with an overhead transmitting wire, of a guard-wire stretched over and along the same and a guard-wire stretched along at the side of said transm itting-wire, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
4. In an electric railway, the combination, with an overhead transmitting wire, of a guard-wire stretched over the same, hangers connecting the transmitting-wire at intervals with said guard-wire, a guard-wire running at the side of and parallel with the transmitting-wire, and arms interposed between said hangers and said side guard-wire, whereby the latter is held at the proper distance from the transmitting-wire, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
5. In an electric railway, the combination,
with overhead transmitting-wires, their supporting-posts, cross-wires stretched between opposite posts and supporting said transmitting-wires, arched braces placed between said posts over said cross-wires, hangers connecting said cross-wires with said braces, supporting and guard wires stretched oversaidtranslTllttlllg-\llGS and attached to said braces, which they cross, and hangers connecting the transmitting-W1 res with said supporting-wires at intervals, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
6. In an electric railway, the combination, with overhead transmitting-wires, snpportin posts placed in pairs on opposite sides of the railway, cross-wires with which said transmitting-wires are connected stretched between the upper ends of said posts, arched braces interposed between said posts above said cross-wires and connected therewith byhangers, supporting-wires stretched over the transmitting-wires and attached to said braces, hangers connecting the transmitting-wires with said supporting-wires at intervals be tween the braces, guard-wires stretehedatthe outer sides of the transmitting-wires parallel therewith and connected with the cross supporting-wires, and arms interposed between said guard-wires and the hangers atintervals between the cross supporting-wires, whereby said guard-wires are held at the proper distance from said transmitting-wircs, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own Ial'fix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
