Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
D. HUESTIS, OF COLD SPRING, NEW YORK.
IMPRovED PAVEMENT.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 56,563, dated July 24, 1866.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, D. HUEs'rIs, of Gold Spring, Putnam county, State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Pavement; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, Which-will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawingt, forming part of this specification, in Which- Figure 1 represents a transverse vertical section of this invention. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
This invention consists in the use ot'V iron boxes with or Without dovetailed composition or metal faces, and the interior filled With cement or any suitable hard material in such a manner that the composition or metal face, together with the outer portion ot' the iron box with intersecting grooves, constitutes the traveling-surface. The composition or metal face is dovetailed into the interior of the box and combined with the cement or other material, so that the pressure arisingfrom the weight imposed upon any part of the box Will not cause an elevation or depression of 'any portion thereof.
A represents a box made of cast-iron or other suitable material, and divided by partitions a into four (more or less) compartments, l), as clearly shown in the drawings. The sides and partitions of the box are provided with bottom anges, c, and their upper edges are grooved to give a firm hold to the feet of horses or other draft-animals, and said edges are flaring at one side and provided with projecting lips l at the opposite ends, as shown in Fig. 2. By this shape of the edges each box is enabled to lock between the adjoining boxes, and a displacement of the same is avoided; and, furthermore, dovetailed spaces d are formed to receive the composition or metal face C. Each compartment of the boxes A is provided with such a face, and the interior of said boxes is lled with cement of any suitable nature or description, or with any other suitable lnaterial. Y
lproposc to use, by preference, cement mixed with pebbles, so as to form a solid mass Which is capable of supporting the composition or metal faces. The traveling-surface is formed by said faces and by the upper edge of the boxes, Which are grooved and may be arranged to form a railroad-track, which will not interfere with the travel of ordinary vehicles.
I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The grooved street-pavement herein de scribed, the same consisting of the boxes A, with bottom flanges, o, and dovetail spaces d, with suitable filling, the upper edges being beveled and forming grooves when the boxes are combined, and give hold to the feet of the animals, and adapted for a railway-track, as specified and shown.
The above specification of my invention signed by me this 6th day of February, 1866.
D. HUESTIS.
