ATENT Eric,
WILLIAM L. CASASSAR, OF BEAVERFALLS, PENNSYLVANIA.
RAIL JOINT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 681,038, dated August 20, 19011.
Application filed May 16 1901. Serial No. 60,497. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. QASASSAR, a citizen of the United States of America, re-
siding at Beaverfalls, in the county of Beaver and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rail- Joints, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in rail-joints, and more particularly to that class wherein the use of nuts and bolts is entirely dispensed with.
rable, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, and highly efficient.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings,
forming a part of this specification, and
wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which- Figure 1 is an end elevation of a rail having my improved joint connected thereto.
' ing fish-plates forming the chair.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of one of the interlock- Fig. 4 is a similar view of the other interlocking fishplate forming the chair.
In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 indicates the rail, and 2 indicates the tie, which has formed therein a wedge-shaped recess 3, forming a seat for the rail-joint.
The reference-numeral 4 represents a fishplate having formed integral therewith a section of the chair 5. This section carries an inwardly-extending base-plate 6. Upon this base-plate is formed a shoulder 7.
The reference-numeral 8 indicates a fishplate arranged on the opposite side of the rail, carrying an inwardly-extending plate 9, formed integral therewith, and a shoulder 10 under said extending plate 9. The fish-plates forming the chair are arranged together in a manner that will allow the base-plate 6 to pass under the inwardly-extending plate 9, the end of the base-plate 6 abutting against the shoulder 10 and the end of the plate 9 resting against the shoulder 7. The inner fish-plates and walls of the sections forming the chair conform with the upper face and web ofthe rail, the rail being interposed be tween the fish-plates, as shown in the drawings, the rail-joint being also secured to the ties and seated in the wedge-shaped recess. When the parts are thus secured rigidly together, the device forms a perfect joint and no lateral displacement of the rail will be al lowed.
The many advantages obtained by my con struction will be readily apparent, and it will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a rail-joint, a base-plate, a shoulder thereon, a chair carried by said base-plate, a fish-plate carried by said chair, in combination with a fish-plate, a chair carried thereby, an inwardly-extending plate carried by said chair, a shoulder beneath said plate, the said plates adapted to be arranged one above the other and engage the said shoulders, substantially as described.
2. In a rail-joint, a base-plate, a shoulder thereon, a wedge-shaped chair carried by said base-plate, a fish-plate carried by said chair, the said base-plate adapted to lie in engage ment with the tie, in combination with. a fish plate, a wedge-shaped chair carried thereby, an inwardly-extending plate carried by said chair, a shoulder beneath said plate adapted to abut against the said first-named baseplate, the second-named base-plate adapted to abut against the first-named shoulder, the said second-named base-plate adapted to engage the rail-base, and a tie having a wedgeshaped recess therein to receive said chairsections, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM L. OASASSAR.
