Letters Patent No.- 71,737, dated .December 3, 18.67..
@its Stimme referat it in tten tter mimi :uit mating piatti tige stmt.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY COhTt'JEBNA Be it known that we, A. C. GOODMAN and HENRY'FESSLER, (assignors to ourselves and Henry Foltz,) of Canton, in the county of Stark, and in the State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gates for Railroads; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description "thereof, reference being had to tbeaccompanying drawings, andto the letters of reference marked thereon.
In the annexed drawings, making part of this speciiication, A represents a platform, across which the sills or sleepers B B are placed. I I represent the rails cfa railroad-track, which arc secured upon the ties or sleepers B B. C represents a gate, composed of-a bottom bar, with'a series of vertical teeth secured in it, which said gate is so placed that itshottom bar lies under the railsI I, being provided with suitablcbearing and caps, which allow the gate to partially rotate backward and forward, or 'rise and fall to one sideor thc other. Connected to the under side of this bar of the gate is a weight, D, which tends to keep the gate in an upright position. Lying across and beneath the track, pon each side of the gate, and a short distance from it', are t'wo crank-shafts E, which have a bar, F, running up from their centres, standing in a :vertical position in the centre of the track.V The cranks of these shafts extend down below the platform, andare connected at their ends,.by means of rods (ir G, to a projection, at kt, on the under side of the weightsD. H represents a sprin'g bar, secured at one end to'thecrankfshaft E, This bar H is providedwth a notch, at x, as seen. Y v This gate is intended to rise and fall to one side or the other, when the train approaches, to. allow it to pass 'over freely.
When a train approaches the gate, this cow-catcher strikes one of the uprghtbars F, which turns the crankA shaft E, causing the rod Gr to Operate the "gate, so that it will fall from the train. When the gate falls, the spring-bar H, with its notch,catches one ofthe teeth of the gate and-holds it down until the train passes. 'As the train passes over, a projection upon the rear end of the rear car strikes against th bar H and causes it to release the gate. As soon as the gate is released, the weight D immediately brings the gate to a vertical posi tion. It will readily be seen that, as a train approaches from either direction, the gate will fall fromthe train and rise again as soon as ithas passed over. y
'The object ofthis gate is to keep cattle and hogs, &c., from the track, while it allows trains to pass over. These gates may be used at any and all of the crossings of roads or streets upon railroad-tracks,
Having thus fully described ourinvention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, ist- A f1. The gate C, provided with a weight, D, which causes it to lassume a vertical position when not confined,
as and for the purpose set forth. 2. The arrangement of the crank-shafts E with'their bars F, connecting-rods G G, and the gate C, as and i for the purpose specified.
3. The arrangement of the spring notched b ar'H with the crank-shaft E and gate C, as and for the purpose'set forth. Y Y t In testimony we claim thc foregoing, we have 'hereunto set our hands, this 22d day of April, 1867.
y A. MC. GOODMAN,
HENRY. FESSLER.
