JOHN F. GOODING AND ARCHIE E. ACKERSON, OF BUENA VISTA, COLORADO.
RAIL-JOINT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 644,010, dated February 20, 1900.
Application filed May 11, 1899.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that We,JOHN F. GOODING and ARCHIE E. AOKERSON, citizens of the United States, and residents of Buena Vista, county of Ohaftee, and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rail-Joints, of which the following is 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Ourinvention relates to a class of rail-joints that will obviate the usual noise and the eX- cessive jarring so destructive to the rollingstock caused by the wheels crossing the joints, as when our improved joint is used it forms a continuous rail.
Our invention consists in the construction and combination of the diiferent parts hereinafter fully described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure l is a perspective view of a rail-joint embodying our invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of same. Fig; 3 is a view of the double bolt. Fig. 4: is a view of the joint plate. Fig. 5 is a cross-section along line a a of Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is an end view of Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a View of the screw.
. A and 13 represent ordinary T railroad-rails, one of which is constructed with the end as an acute angle or arrow-head and the other as a right-angled bevel. These rails are laid upon ordinary ties F F.
0 represents the joint-plate, provided with upturned flanges designed to fit over the lower extension-flanges of the rails. The j oint-plate has semicircular apertures C out into the sides of the rounded edge, designed to receive Serial No. 716,415. (No model.)
the screw E, which is provided with a circular beveled flange E, which bears upon the lower extension-flange of the rail. The rail can also be cut in an oval or elliptical manner, similar to the cut in the joint-plate, and as the screw E will fit into said out it will have a tendency to prevent any creeping of the rails.
D represents a long bolt having threaded ends turned at right angles and same provided with nuts D and D. This bolt is designed to be used instead of fish-plates. As the j ointplate 0 engages the abutting ends of the rails A and B, it is firmly held in place and is rigid in every manner.
It is now obvious that when rail-joints have been provided according to the description herein given the rail will be continuous, as the car-wheel will be on the next adjacent rail before it leaves the end of the rail over which it has just traveled.
Having thus described the nature and objects of our invention, with the manner of constructing and applying the same, what we claim as new,'and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a rail-joint, of the class described, the combination, comprising the joint, the jointplate having upturned flanges, the double bolt to be used instead of fish-plates and the screw E,having a circular flange E, substantially as specified.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we hereunto subscribe our names in the presence of two witnesses.
JOHN F. GOODING. ARCHIE E. AOKERSON.

J. A. MARKS, IDA O. GOODING.
