'DANIEL GIBBON S, OF WEST TROY, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JAMES FORSYTII, OF SAME PLACE.
NUT-LOCK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 558,799, dated April 21, 1896. Application filed October 8, 1895. Serial No. 565,006. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DANIEL GIBBoNs, of West Troy, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nut-Locks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description 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 nut-locks, being specially designed for use in connection with rail-joint iish-plates.
The object of the invention is to produce a simple-and efficient locking device for the nuts on the locking-bolts of a fish-plate, which locking device can be readily and easily placed in position and will effectively prevent the turning of said nuts under any circumstances.
A further object is to provide a locking device for said nuts which can be quickly removed in the event of the breaking of one of the securing-bolts of the fish-plate, whereby the injured bolt can be quickly replaced.
The invention will be hereinafter fully set forth,l and particularly pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view in side elevation illustrating my improved nut-lock. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view on the line a: m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line y y, Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the locking-plates.
Referring to the drawings, A A designate two rails, the meeting ends of which are designed to be united by fish-plates d a', the webs of said rails being provided, as customary, with holes or openings through which and coincident holes or openings in said fishplates are passed the locking-bolts c2. These bolts are provided with threaded ends a3, on which work nuts a4, adapted to bear against the outer face of fish-plate d', the heads of said bolts bearing against the outer face of the opposite fish-plate. In the ends of the iish-plate are formed recesses co5, which extend inward a short distance.
B B designate the locking-plates, each of which is provided with holes or openings b, equal in number to and corresponding in shape with the securing-nuts a4. Each of the locking-plates is provided with a shoulder b at its outer end, said shoulders being adapted to it around the ends of the fish-plate a'. From each shoulder h projects a hook h3, which extends on a line with the inner face of each plate. These hooks are designedV to extend over the ends of the fish-plate and fit snugly in the correspondingly-shaped recesses co5 in the ends of said iish-plate.
The locking-plates B B are each provided on their inner faces with transverse ribs O, which rest against the fish-plate, so that said locking-plates do not comein contact with said fish-plate, but engage the nuts at about their centers. The plate B is provided with an offset d, having a projecting lug or ear d, which extends through a hole or opening of plate B', and through ahole or opening therein is inserted a spring locking-key D.
In practice the hooked ends of the lockingplates are iirst caused to engage the ends of the sh-plate, and after the plate B is positioned the other plate Bis closed down, so that their inner ends will overlap and the lug or ear of the former will project through the hole of the latter. The key is then inserted and the two parts locked together.
The advantages of my invention are apparent to those skilled in the art to which it appertains.
It will be seen that I have produced a simf ple and inexpensive locking device which can be quickly and readily applied or placed in position and which will serve as an efficient lock when so positioned.
I claim as my invention- The combination with the sh-plate having recesses in its ends, and nutted bolts, of lockingnplates having hooks at their outer ends for iitting in said recesses and having openings to accommodate said nuts, said plates at their inner ends overlapping and provided one with a lug or ear, and the other with a hole for said lug or ear, a locking-key in said ear or lug, and a series of transverse ribs on the inner faces of said plates between said openings, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
DANIEL GIBBONS.
