JOSEPH YVILLIAM REYNOLDS AND PETER PERKINS, OF ELKTON, OHIO.
CAR-REPLACER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 446,951, dated February 2 4, 1891.
Application filed October 4, 1890. Serial No. 367,111. (No model.) i
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JOSEPH \VILLIAM REYNOLDS and PETER PERKINS, citizens of the United States, residing at Elkton, in the county of Columbiana and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CarReplacers; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
Our invention relates to an improved device for replacing derailed railway-cars on the track; and it consists in certain details of construction and combination of parts, as will be fully described hereinafter.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is' a perspective view of our improved device, showing the same in position on a railwayrail. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of that portion of the apparatus which rests on the top of the rail, showing the pivoted clamps revolved back or folded to'oecupy but little space. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the pivoted bar detached from the apparatus.
To construct an apparatus in accordance with our invention, we provide a casting a, of suitable size and form of construction and adapted to rest on the top of the rail 1) and held rigid in that position by means of two clamps c (7. One of these clamps 0 consists of a bar having a recess 0, which spans the rail b, and is held in that position by means of a wedge f, and is pivotally connected at g to the casting a, in a manner that the same may be revolved about and made to occupy but little space. The other clamp dis pivoted to the one end of the casting C6, and is also provided with a recess h and wedge f, similar to that of the forward clamp c. vide a bar 70, having a rigid pin i at one end adapted to enter an opening formed in the top of the clamp d and in line with the casting a, and thereby pivotally connect the bar 70 and casting a to form a rail. This bar 7o, when adjusted in position, will be inclined to the ground, and the point furnished with spurs Zwill prevent the same from sliding.
In operation the casting a, with its two depending clamps c d, is placed on the rail 1') in the direction of its length. The recesses e 71, overlapping the head of the rail and extending downward and the wedges f driven into position will rigidly confine thecasting a in position. The pivot z' of bar 7; is secured to the clamp 01 and the point of the bar 7.; moved in line with the wheels of a derailed car, which construction forms a temporary track to replace the same.
Having thus described our invention, we claim The herein-deseribed car-replaeer, consisting of the casting a, the two clamps 0 (Z, pivotally connected to the under side of the same and provided with wedges to secure the said clamps and casting to the rail, and the bar 7t, detachably pivoted to one of the clamps d and projecting downward, whereby a temporary track is formed for replacing derailed cars, substantially as described.
In testimony that we clainr the foregoing we hereunto affix our signatures this 25th day of August, A. D. 1890.
JOSEPH WILLIAM REYNOLDS. [L s] PETER PERKINS. LL. 8.]
