G. A. WEBER. ROLLER AND ROLLER BEARING.
No. 487,884. Patented D88. 13, 1892.
- WITNESSE I INVENTOR HISATTORNEY' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE A. WEBER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO ANNIE H. WEBER, OF SAME PLACE.
ROLLER AND ROLLER-BEARING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 487,884, dated December 13,1892. Application filed February 1 8, 1892- Serial No. 421,971. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE A. WEBER, of New York, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Protectors for Rollers and Roller-Bearings, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to devices for protecting rollers and roller-bearings from the weather and to serve as a guard to prevent the detachment of an operating-rod from the roller.
This improvement is designed more particularly for use in connection with rollers and an operating-rod movable longitudinally over the rollers for operating a semaphore or similar railway-signals.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of a device embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section. Fig. 3 is a top View. Fig. 4 is an end view on an enlarged scale.
Fig. 5 is a side view on an enlarged scale.
Referring by letter to the drawings, A designates a grooved roller, and A is an operating-rod resting and movable in the groove of the roller. In practice there are a number of these rollers A arranged at desired distances apart between a signal-station and the signal. The roller has its trunnions a supported on and movable along bearing-tracks A having stops at at the ends to limit the movementof the rollerlongitudinallyof thetracks.
B designates a guard or cover extending from the bearings A over the operating-rod A and the roller. This guard or cover is shown as rounded in cross-section at its top and having its bottom edges engaged with lateral projections b of the bearing-rails. This guard or cover is preferably of pressed steel, and I have shown it as connected to the.
projections 19 by having its lower edges formed into loops 1), which engage around the said projections, as shown, and having portions b punched into depressions in the projections b.
The guard or cover B has one or more transverse inwardly-extending ribs b in its upper portion. The ribs extend nearly to the upper surface of the operating-rod A and form a reduced surface, against which the bar A bearing, and means extending over the roller for operating a signal, the guard or cover supported by the bearing and extending over said roller, and signal-operating means, substantially as specified.
2. The combination, with a roller, the bearings therefor, and the operating-rod, of the guard or cover secured to lateral projections of the bearings and extended over the roller and operating-rod, substantially as specified.
3. The combination,with a roller, the bear- 7o ings therefor, and the operating-rod, of the guard or cover having the transverse inwardly-projecting rib or ribs, substantially as specifled.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEO. A. WEBER.
