RAIL JOINT.

UNITED STATES PATENT Prion.
CHARLES WRIGHT DAVISON, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, ASSIGNOR TO FREEMAN P. LANE, OF SAME PLACE.
RAIL-JOINT.
SPECIFICATION forming part f Letters Patent N 0. 581,341, dated April 27, 1897.
Application tiled August 21, 1896. Serial No. 603,509. (No model.)
T0 all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES WRIGHT DA- VIsON, of the city of Minneapolis, county of Hennepin, State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railported and secures the same firmly to the rails, and also holds the rails from lateral movement and prevents them from leaving the bed-plate at any joint.
The invention consists generally in the constructions and combinations hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a plan View of a rail-joint embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side View of the same. Fig. 3 is a view looking at the opposite side. Figs. 4 and 5 are sections. Fig. 6 is a detail.
In the drawings, 2 2 represent the meeting ends of the rails, which are of the usual construction.
3 represents a tie which is arranged directly beneath the meeting ends of the rails.
5 is an angle-plate comprising an integral bed-plate and angle-bar that passes beneath the rails and extends up over one flange thereof and up by the side of the web of the rail, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. This plate is smooth on its undersurface and rests centrally beneath the meeting ends of the rails and over the tie 3. Upon the opposite side of the rails is placed an ordinaryiish-plate 7. The bolts 9, having nuts 11,are passed through the rails and through the angle-plate 5 and sh-plate 7 at points substantially over the tie At the outer ends of the angle-plate 5 I arrange bolts 13. These bolts have their ends connected to the edges of the angle-plate 5 either by having their heads 15 engage slots 17 in the edge of said angle-plate, as shownV in Figs. 1 and 4, or by having their bolts provided with heads 15 in the form of hooks that hook under said plate, as shown in Fig. 5. In both instances the bolts pass through the fish-plate 7, the web of the rail, and the angle-plate 5 and are provided upon their ends with nuts 19. y
It will be seen that by means of the bolts 13 supports are formed at points distant from the tie for the ends of the angle-plate 5, and that said plate is secured firmly to the rails and the rails are held from lateral motion or from rising from the plate. The lower part of the bolt above the bed-plate comes in contact with the flange of the rail, and the rail is held between the bolt on one side and theangle of the plate 5 on the other. The downward pressure upon the bolt 13 will also create a sufficient pressure upon one side of the nut 19 to effectually lock said nut in position. The opposite side of the plate, it will be seen, is supported by the part of the plate that eX- tends above the flange of the rails. Hence in my device both ends of the plate are supported, and the joint is rendered very rigid and firm.
I may secure the angle-plate in position by means of a spike 21, which passes through said plate and into the tie and engages the iiange of the rail, as shown in Fig. 1. Upon the opposite side of the angle-plate I may arrange one or more spikes 23. These may be placed close against the angle of the plate, or said plate may be slotted and the spikes placed in such slots, as shown in Fig. 6. In the latter case these spikes and the spikes 21 prevent any longitudinal movement of the plate uponthe tie 3.
I do not conne myself to any particular form of the bolt 13, as any bolt that-will engage and support the angle-plate 5 and will pass through the fish-plate 7, the web of the rail, and an gle-plate may be used for this purpose.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The combination, with the meeting ends of the rails, of the bed-plate whereon the rails rest, said bed-plate having an integral anglebarengaging the side of the rail, and bolts fastened in said an gle-bar and passing through the rails to the opposite side thereof, and thence bent downwardly and engaged with the rail-flange and the bed-plate, whereby lateral i movement of the rail or rails is prevented,
substantially as described.
2. The combination, in a rail-joint, of the bed-plate, forming a support for the rails, and having an integral anglebar adapted to engage the side of the rails and bolts fastened in said angle-bars and extending thence across the top of said bed-plate and thence downwardly with the heads of the bolts in engagement with the bottom of the bed-plate, substantially as described.
3. In a rail-j oint, the combination, with the bed-plate having the integral angle-bar and also having notches or holes in the edge opposite said angle-bar, and the right-angled bolts arranged in said notches or holes and having their opposite ends secured in said or against the bed-plate, substantially as described.
5. The combination, with the meeting ends of the rails, of the bed-plate whereon the rails rest, said bed-plate having an integral anglebar engaging the sides of the rails and also having notches or holes in its edge opposite said angle bar, and bolts passing through the said angle-bar and the rails and engaging said angle-bar, the edge of the rail-flange and the bottom of the bed-plate, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 17th day of August, A. D. 1896.
CHARLES WRIGHT DAVISON.
In presence of- RICHARD PAUL, M. E. GooLnY.
