UNHED STATES PATENT OEEicEe JAMES J. PUROELIAOF BOSTON, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO WILLIAM HENRY OROSSON, OF MIDDLEBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS.
SIGNALING APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 497,128, dated May 9, 1893.
Application tiednovemter 3.1892. sain No. 460,852. (No man.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern,.-
Be it known that I, J AMES J. PURCELL, of Boston, in the county of Suiolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Signaling Apparatus for Brakemen, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure l is a front view ot' my apparatus; Fig. 2 a side View of the same, and Fig.`3 a section illustrating three tubes, each With a signal in it.
The signals needed by a brakeman are such as to attract the attention ot' the engineer of a train, and are nonT commonly a light in a colored shade, and simple reworks, consisting either of a composition in a tube, which when ignited burns and gives a proper light commonly called fusees or an explosive compound which is in a case capable of being attached to the rails and when so attached exploded by the Wheels, commonly called torpedoes; and my invention is a holder for these and like signals, and consists in a frame, with a base upon which it can stand,` tubes attached on opposite sides of the frame and a handle, by which the article can be carried as will now be more fully described.
In the drawings the base B and the frame b3 support the tubes a, each of which has a conical lower end, with a hole a4 through it, in order that the spikes a3 usually used with the fusees may project. The handle b4 completes the article, but in addition cross Wires JAMES J. PUROELL.
