SWITCH FOR STORE-SERVICE RAILWAYS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 429,616, dated June 10, 1890.
readily transferred to the return-track without lifting the carrier from the track.
To this end a horizontally-swinging track is employed in connection with the dispatchtraok and return -traek of a storeservice railway, whereby a carrier may be received from the dispatchtrack and transferred or switched to the return-track without lifting the carrier off of one track and placing it on the other.
The invention consists in a switching-shelf for store-service railways constructed and ar ranged as hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying,
drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the ends of the dispatch and return tracks of a storeservic-e railway with a switching-shelf constructed in accordance with this invention, and Fig. 2 is a plan View thereof.
In carrying out this invention a horizontally-swinging track 1 is located adjacent to the terminus of the dispatch-track 2 and the end" of the return-track 3 of a store-service railway, the track-shelf 1 being mounted in any suitable manner to swing horizontally, so as to bring it into alignment with either the dispatch-track 2 or the return-track 3. As here shown, the switching-track shelf 1, having double-track rails 4 corresponding with the double-track rails 5 of the dispatch-track Application filed August 15, 1889. Serial No. 320,826. (No model.)
rod or hanger 7 by means of the cross-bar 8,
connecting the track-rails 4, and is supported at its other end by a hanger consisting of'an inverted-U-shaped frame 9, secured at its lower end to the rails 4, and provided at its upper end with grooved friction-rollers 10, resting on and adapted to travel overa curved rail 11, mounted 011 hangers 12, and extending over the end of the dispatch-track 2.
In operation, the shelf 1 beingin alignment with the dispatch-track 2, upon a carrier being received onto the shelf 1 it may be transferred or switched onto the return-track 3 by swinging the shelf 1 by hand or other suitable means out of alignment with the track 2 and into alignment with the track 3. In this way a carrier may be readily switched from the terminus of the dispatch-track to the end of the return-track,
While I have described a specific construction of parts, I do not desire to limit myself thereto, as the construct-ion of parts may be Varied without departing from the essential features of the invention.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination, with the dispatch-track 2, with a curved rail 11 suspended above it, and the return-track 3 of a store-service railway, of the horizontally-swin gin g switch-shelf 1, pivotedto the hanger 7 at one end and suspended at its other end by the hanger 9, having friction-rollers 1O resting on the rail 11, the shelf 1 being movable into alignment with the dispatch-track 2 or returntrack 3, substantially as shown and described.
