EDGAR P. I-IUNTERAND HARRY O. HUNTER, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYL- VANIA.
RAIL-JOINT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 702,215, dated June 10, 1902.
' Application filed February 26, 1902. Serial No. 95,777. (No model.)
'To ctZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, EDGAR P. HUNTER and HARRY O. HUNTER, citizens of the United.
' from when desired; furthermore, to provide a device that will be extremely simple in construction, strong, durable, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, and highly eflicient in its use.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel construe.-
tion, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
In describing the invention in detail refer ence is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,and wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views,in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved rail-joint. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof, taken on-the line 1 1 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the meeting ends of the rails with the rail-joint removed therefrom. Fig. 4 is an end view.
In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 represents the rails, having formed in the web thereofthesemicircularopening2. Openings 3 3 are also formed in the web of the rails.
Fish-plates i carry the base-plate 5, which extend over the base of the rails. These fishplates are also provided with a central opening 6, which corresponds with the opening 2. The ends of the fish-plates carry outwardlyextending lugs 7, which are formed integral therewith and are apertured, as shown at 8.
we provide a locking-bolt 12, which extends through the opening 2 and through the central opening 6 to receive the nut 14 upon the opposite side.
The manner of securelylocking the rails together, 'as well as the many advantages obtained by our invention, will be readily apparent from the foregoing description taken "in connection with the accompanying drawings.
It will be noted that various changesmay be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of our invention.
Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a rail-joint, the combination with the rails having openings formed therein, bars extending through said openings, fish-plates carrying an integral base, lugs extending from said fish-plates, screw-threaded rods extending through said lugs and bars, and means to fasten said screw-threaded rods, substantially as described.
2. In a rail-joint, the combination with the rails having openings. formed therein, bars extending through said openings, fish-plates carryingau integral base, lugs extending from said fish-plates, screw-threaded rods extending through said lugs and bars, means to fasten said screw-threaded rods, and a central bolt and nut to secure said fish-plates together, substantially as described, and for the pure pose set forth.
In testimony whereof we affix oursignatures in the presence of two witnesses.
EDGAR P. HUNTER. HARRY c. HUNTER.
