UNITED STATES PATENT Erice.
JOHN MAEIE, or NEw'roEK, N. Y.
IMPROVED CAR-REPLACEPL.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 45,2254., dated November 29, 1864.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN MARIE, of No. 1S() Broadway, in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Device for Placing Railroad'Cars on the Track; and I do hereby declare that the following` is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a plan or top view of my invention; Fig. 2, a perspective view of one part of the same; Fig. 3, a transverse section of one part ofthe same, taken in the line w w, Fig. l.
Similar letters of refeience indicate like parts.
rIhis invention relates to a new and improved apparatus or device for placing railroad-cars on the track in case of the former ruiming ott' from the latter while traveling.
The object of the invention is to obtain a simple and economical device for the purpose, which may be carried on the tender ofthe locomotive, so as te be always ready when required i'or use, and which may be very readily applied to the rails. y
A A represent two blocks, which may be constructed of hard wood or metal, and having one part, a, inclined, the other part, b, being horizontal. It' wood be used for these blocks, their upper surfaces have a metal plate, B, attached to them, extending their whole length. The parts of these plates which are on the inclined portions @ofthe blocks gradually increase in width from their upper to their lower ends, while the parts which are on the upper horizontal surfaces, b,ot' said blocks are about of equal width throughout and on a level with or restupon the upper surfaces of the rails. The blocks A A are provided with hooked lips or iianges G C, for the purpose oi attaching them to the rails D D, said lips or flanges lapping over the rails. These lips or flanges may be attached to the plates B or to the blocks A, and the edges of the plates .D at one side are provided with upright iianges E, which extend their whole length, while the opposite ri les otl the upper horizontal parts ofthe plates are provided each with atlange, F.
In case of a car running oftl from the track, the blocks A A are applied to the rails with their lower inclined ends in contact with the wheels which are oft' from the rails, or placed as near to them as possible. The car is then moved so that the wheels will pass up the blocks or up the plates B thereon, the flan ges (l C serving as guides for the wheels and bringing them toward the rails, while the iianges F prevent the wheels from running ott' the opposite sides of the rails and cause them to pass directly upon the latter.
rI he device, it will be seen, is extremely simple and eiiicient, and will be the means of avoiding much delay which now most generally attends the displacement of cars from the In case the blocks A be of metal, the lian ges E F may be cast with them andthe lips C attached in any proper way.
I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The blocks A A, provided with iianges E F and with hooked lips C, and either with or without the plates B, all arranged substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
JOHN Manin.
