SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 561,022, dated May 26, 1896. Application filed April 11, 1895. Serial No. 545,388. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern: on the axle I), on which the toothed wheels (l Be it known that I, JACOB Y. MCCONNELL, are secured. 50 a citizen of the United States, and a resident The axle D is provided in Jthe present inof Darby, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, stance with flanged carrying-wheels d2, which 5 have invented certain Improvements in Comrest upon the rails of the track and act to bination-Locomotives, of which the following steady the axleand its toothed Wheels. is a specification. 3 is the steam-chest for the cylinder ft2, and 5 5 My invention relates to that class of locoi* is the steam-chest for the compound cylinmotives in which are combined the adhesion ders, as illustrated by dotted lines in Fig. 2. 1o driving-gear and the rack driving-gear. I have not shown the valve mechanism for The object of my invention is to so combine either section of the engine, as any mechanthese two features inalocomotive that asingle ism may be used without departing from my 6o frame at each side may be used and the cylinvention. It will also be understood that inders for the rack mechanism may be arwhile I have shown the axle D provided with I5 ranged on the outside of the framework. two toothed wheels dd a single wheelmay be In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is usedin connection with a plain rack, as shown a side view of sufficient of a locomotive tov in Fig. 4c. 65 illustrate my invention. Fig. 2 is a trans- It will be seen by the above description that verse sectional view. Figs. 3 and 4 are views I dispense entirely with the secondary frame zo of a modication of the arrangement of the usually employed in locomotives of this class, mechanism. as I mount the rack mechanism on the side Referring to Figs. l and 2, A A are the side frames. Furthermore, I so construct the lo- 7o frames of the locomotive, shaped to accomcomotive that the cylinders for the rack mechmodate the boxes of the axles B B of the drivanism are on the outside of the frames within 25 ing-wheels B', and also adapted to receive the easy access in case of repairs, and While I have boxes of the axle D, carrying the toothed shown the rack mechanism mounted in adwheels cl d, which mesh with the racks c c on vance of the adhesion drivers it may be 75 the central rack-bar O. mounted between the drivers and arranged B2 are the pilot-wheels.
