Description
NEED STATES:
JOHN C. SEGER, OF GREENBRIER, ALABAMA.
NUT-LOCK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 51 1,465, dated December 26, 1893. Application filed June 26, 1893- Serial No; 478.887- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN G. SEGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Greenbrier, in the county of Limestone and State of Alabama, have invented a newand useful Nut-Lock, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in nut-locking devices especially adapted for railroad rails at the joints between contiguous rails, and the objects in view are to provide simple and efficient means which can be readily detached and applied to facilitateadjustment, repair, &c.
Further objects and advantages of my invention will appear in the following description and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective View of a nut-locking device embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is asimilar view showing the locking plate elevated to release the nuts. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 designates the meeting ends of two railroad rails, 2-2 the usual fish-plates which are arranged upon opposite sides of. the joint, 3 the transverse bolts by which the fish-plates and rails are connected, and 4 the nuts which are threaded upon the-extremities of such bolts.
5 represents a pivotal locking plate, which is pivoted at one end to swing in a vertical plane, and is provided at its free end with fastening devices hereinafter explained and is further provided with a series of rectangular notches 6 which are spaced to agree. with the positions of the bolts and nuts and are designed to fit over the latter when the looking plate is in its normal or horizontal position.
In order to reduce as much as possible the weight of the locking plate to facilitate its manipulation and also to save material and therefore reduce the cost of manufacture, I prefer to make the locking plate of a width which exceeds only slightly the width of the It is the common practice to use washer plates in connection with looking devices of Various kinds, such washer plates being perforated to receive the bolts and being held in place by the nuts, and in my device it is necessary to employ a stationary plate to which one end of the locking plate may be pivoted and also to employ suitable means for receiving and securing the free end of such locking plate when in its normal or operative position, but in order to reduce the weight and expense of manufacture I avoid the use of a continuous washer plate and employ a pivot plate 9 and a catch plate 10 which are independent of each other and may be arranged at any desired interval, to suit the. The pivot plate length of the locking plate. 9, to one end of which is pivotally connected the locking plate, is provided at the opposite end with a perforation to receive one of the terminal bolts, or the bolt at one end of the series and is secured in position by means of the nut with which such bolt is provided. The catch plate is similarly perforated to receivethe bolt at the opposite end of the series and is held in place by the attached nut, such catch plate being provided with a catch 11, consisting of a tongue provided at its free end with a flange or lip 12 to engage a shoulder 13 of the locking plate. The free end of the locking plate is beveled to enable it to readily enter the catch.
Having described my invention, what I claim is I In a device of the class described, the combination with bolts and nuts, of a pivotal locking platearranged to swing in a plane parallel with that of the nuts, and a. spring: catch arranged to engage the free end. jofthe my own I have hereto aifixed my signature in looking plate when the latter is in its operthe presence of two witnesses.
ative position, said plate being provided with O SEGER' Witnesses:
J N0. B. FLOYD,
JAMES P. ASHFeRD, Sr.
5 spaced notches to receive the nuts substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
