CATTLE-G UARD FOR RAI LWAYS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 462,649, dated November 3, 1891.
Application filed October 30,1890.
To all whom it may CON/0677b.
Be it known that I, FREDERICK G. Bors- FORD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cattle-Guards for Railways, of which the following is a detail specification.
This invention relates to cattle-guards for railways; and it consists in securing together two sets of corrugated cross-bars, the apices of one set extending above the other for presenting an obstruction to prevent cattle walkin g over.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a railway having my guard attached. Fig. 2 is a crosssection of same. Fig. 3 is aperspective view of the guard detached.
In Fig. 1 the railroad and line fence shown are of the common construction.
B represents the guards placed on each side of the rails A Aand between them. To form this guard I take bars of iron, bend them, and
join them together crosswise, as shown, form- Serial No. 369,762. (No model.)
ing a network of raised corrugations having small flat apices. The corrugations in the bars running across the track are made lower than those in the bars running lengthwise or 0 vice versa, for the purpose of forming apices at two different levels, so as to render the foot hold more uncertain and be liable to cause a foot to turn over and throw an animal in endeavoring to step, yet not let the foot 'go 35 for securing the sections to the railway-ties. 40
Having described my invention, I claim The herein-descri bed cattle-guard for railways, consisting of two sets of corrugated cross-bars secured together at theirdepressed portions, the apices of the bars of one set be- 5 ing 011 a higher level than those of the bars which cross them, substantially as described.
FREDERICK G. BOTS FORD.
