BERTRAM BARNETT, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
RAIL JOINT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 694,938, dated March 11, 1902. Application filed October 16, 1901. Serial No. 78.892. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, BEBTRAM BARNETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the Stat-eof Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements in Rail-Joints, of which the following is a specification.
The nature of my invention consists of havof the base to the bottom of the top and with attached plate extending over all. V Fig. 3 is a side View of the other end of the rail, with base extending beyond the top, with web cut obliquely from the top to the base, and with attached plate extending over all on opposite side from that illustrated by Fig. 2. Fig. 2 will fit exactly into Fig. Fig. 4 illustrates the bottom View of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 illustrates the bottom view of Fig. 3. Fig. 6 illustrates the top view of Fig. 2. Fig. 7 illustrates the top View of Fig. 3. Fig. 8 will give an accu rate idea of the appearance of the two rails when joined and ready for use. Figs. 9 and 10 are sketches of the appearance of the two ends of the rail, as illustrated in the working drawings. Fig. 11 illustrates cross-sectional view of the flat-topped rail used in the construction of street-railways.
I am aware of the fact that many plans have been tried and are now in use in the joining together of steel rails, such as welding, &c. I claim that this invention willnot only clamp the rails together securely and solidly, but will relieve almost altogether the jolt and jar which is felt when crossing the joint, thus giving the impression of one continuous solid rail, a condition greatly desired, especially in the construction of street-railways, which usually are constructed with fiattoppedrails.
This invention applies and is especially adapted to the above-mentioned railways. The drawings attached are made illustrating the appearance of the T-rail, this rail be- 1 ing simplest in construction, and thus affording opportunities for clearer and more comprehensive illustration, all of which is substantially set forth in this application.
What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-e In a rail-joint the combination of the oppos ing rail ends, the top of one rail extending beyond the base of the other rail, the web portion of each rail end being cut obliquely from the junction of the web to the base, to the point where the web meets the tread or body portion of the rail, the meeting ends of the rails also having overlapping integral web.
extensions for clamping saidrails together, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribingwitnesses.
BERTRAM BARNETT.
