BRIDLE ROD FOR RAILROADS.
No. 518,348. Patented Apr. 17, 1894.
FIG. I.
wi-lmeoow I M HERCULES A. MORIN, OF SAN LEANDRO, CALIFORNIA.
'B'RlDLE-ROD FOR RAILROA DS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 518,348, dated April 17,1894.
Application filed October 23,1893.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HERCULES A. MORIN, of" San Leandro, in the county of Alameda and State of Oalifornia,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bridle-Rods for Railroads; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptron of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention contemplates certain new and useful improvements in bridle-rods and braces, for railroad rails, and it has for its object theproduction of a simple and inexpensive bridle-rod for securely holding the railroad rails in fixed ,relation to each other to prevent any spreading or deflection thereof, and which can be quickly and easily placed in or removed from its position in the track independently of the other rods.
The invention consists of the construction and arrangement of the several parts which will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings:Figure 1 is a plan view showing my improved bridlerod connecting two rails. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view thereof on linens-00, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view of one of the sections of the rod detached.
, Referring to the drawings, A designates my improved bridle-rod which is composed of two parts or sections a, a. Each of these parts or sections is bent at one end to form a hook at for overlapping the outer portion of the base or flange b of a rail B, and itis extended horizontally inward a short distance and then bent or curved, as at i), into a vertical portion b and is again bent or curved, as at b and has a free extended horizontal, end 6 which is designed to overlap and bear upon the inner portion of the base or flange of the rail of a track. These two parts or sections as thus formed are placed together in such Seria1No.4=88,939. on model.)
prevent any deflection thereof from a truly 7 parallel position.
The advantages of my invention are apparent to those skilled in the art to which it appertains, and it will be specially observed that each bridle-rod is independent of the others and can be readily and easily applied to the rails or removed therefrom without disturbing any of the other bridle-rods. Hence in the event of any damage to either of the parts of the bridle-rod such part can be readily. re moved and another substituted, the nutted bolts permitting of the ready separation and binding of said parts together.
Abridle-rod constructed as herein-described is simple and inexpensive and not liable to readily get out of order or be deranged.
I claim as my invention- The herein-described improved bridle-rod,
consisting of two parts or sections, provided" each with an outer hooked end, acentral vertical portion and a free extended end, and nutted bolts uniting said parts or sections, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
HERCULES A. MORIN.
