LOUIS LEGE, OF HANOVER, GERMANY.
THAGMMBLEANING DEVICE FOR STREET-TRAMWAYS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 595,183, dated December 7, 1897.
Application filed October 7, 1896.
To all whom. it may concern:
Be it known that I, LOUIS LEGE, of 9 Braunstrasse, IIanover, in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented new and useful Improvements in Street Tramways, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The object of this invention is to provide a superior track-cleaning device of that class in which an instrument runs along the rail and has a part bearing thereon to scrape the accumulated matter from the rail.
The invention will be fully described hereinafter and defined in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of my invention, showing` it applied to a car; and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the cleaner proper.
The cleaner is attached to the under side of the car-floor by means of a post p, the upper end of which has an annular groove p2, receiving a flange from a plate p', bolted to the car. The post p is by these means mounted to turn freely on a vertical axis, but is held from other movement independent of the car.
Supported by the post p is the cleaner proper, which has a sheet-metal bottom plate a, carrying the longitudinal sides a', which rise from the edges of the bottom plate and are curved inward at their front ends. The rear ends of the sides a', respectively, run diagonally outward and rearward in conformity with the rearward arms o2 of the bottom plate c. The edges of the arms o2 opposite the edges having the sides a are provided with sides a2, extending upwardly, similar to the sides a. The central front portion of the bottom plate d is formed with a recess l), while the forward portion of the cleaner is beveled, as at Z22, so that when the cleaner occupies the inclined position shown in Fig. l the beveled portion will run along the tread of the rail. Secured to the under side of the bottom plate a and running longitudinally from the rear portion thereof to a point forward of the body portion is a scraper-tongue o', which is located directly beneath the recess b of the bottom plate c, so that when the scraper is in the Serial No. 608,174. (No model.)
l position shown in Fig. l the tongue o will project into the groove of the rail. Attached to the sides a' is a transverse bar g, by which the cleaner proper is pivotally connected to the lower end of the post p. It is thus that the cleaner proper is mounted to swing either to the operating position shown by full lines in Fig. l or to the inoperative position shown by dotted lines in the same figure.
Formed on a bar t, secured to the bottom of the car, is a bell-crank lever t2, to one end of which a connection t3 is attached and to the opposite end of which a link t is attached. The link projects downwardly and is secured to the middle portion of the side a2. By these means the cleaner may be raised to the position shown in Fig. l. The manner in which the cleaner is mounted is such that the rear portion of the cleaner will have a preponderance, tending to throw the cleaner to the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. l. Consequently when the tension on the connection t3 is relaxed the cleaner will automatically assume an inoperative position.
The cleaner is shown here in connection with a rail having a central groove and a tread on each side of the groove. It is clear, however, that the invention may be used in oonnection with other forms of rails which have a groove receiving the ange of the wheel.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentn l. A track cleaner having a receptacle adapted to receive material from the track, the receptacle having two rearwardly and out wardly extending branches for delivering the said material, the branches running oppositely to each other and delivering the material respectively on the sides of the track, and a tongue carried by the receptacle and pro jecting forwardly thereof, the tongue being capable of running in the groove of the rail so as to deliver material from said groove to the receptacle, substantially as described.
2. A track-cleaner having a receptacle formed of a bottom with rearwardly and oppositely extended delivering branches projected respectively on opposite sides of the track, the front portion of the bottom `having a recess, a tongue secured to the bottom and projecting past said'recess so as to deliver IOO material into the receptacle through the relaterally therefrom, and a tongue 1projecting cess, and ysides secured to the edges of the forward yf rointhe reeeptaeleor-bodyportion bottom and arising therefrom, substantially and eapableof runningvn thegrooveof a rail as described. to remove material therefrom and oarry the I5 5 3. The combination of a plate having a material to the receptacle or body portion.
