GEORGE ANSON CASE, OF JOPLIN, MISSOURI.
RAILWAY-RAIL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 727,288, dated May 5, 1903.
Application filed October 9, 1902.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE ANSON CASE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Joplin,in the county of Jasper and State of Missouri, have invented a new and Improved Railway-Rail, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a sectional rail; and it constitutes an improvement over the constructioncovered in my prior patent, No.
(592,115, dated January 28, 1902.
The present invention is directly concerned with the base or main section ofthe rail; and the object is to construct this section tubular, so that compressed air or fluids of any sort may be transmitted through the rail without interfering with the use of the rail in its ordinary capacity.
This specification is an exact description of one example of my invention, while the claims define the actual scope of the invention.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding'parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the invention. Figs. 2, 3, andare respectively crosssections on the lines 2 2, 3 8, and 4:4: of Fig. 1; and Fig. 5 is a detail view of the detachable cap or ball section of the rail.
The base or main section of the rail cornprises a base proper, a-,a web a, and a ball a 19 indicates the removable ball or cap, having the side flanges or skirts b, and 0 indicates the fish-plates, with the tongues-c interengaged with the cap I) in the manner described in my previous patent above referred to. The main part of the rail is constructed tubular of pressed or rolled steel, either with a welded joint or of seamless tubing, as may be desired. The bolts d, which fasten the fishplates 0 in place pass through the web a of the main portion of the rail, and in order to prevent leakage at these points the web a is swaged in, asindicated at a and these swaged portions are welded or otherwise hermetically fastened together. Such swaged portions are indicated in Fig. 4 and by the dotted Serial No. 126.463. (F0 model.)
lines in Fig. 1. It will be seen from this that the bolts 01 may be placed in position without any means of packing with which to prevent leakage, since owing to the swaged and welded parts a the compressed air, liquid, or other fluid will not reach the orifices in the rail Various changes in the form, proportions, and minor details of my invention may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. Hence I consider myself entitled to all such Variations as may lie within the intent of my claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A tubular rail, havinga transverse opening therein, said rail being hermetically closed around the sides of said opening to prevent leakage therethrough. r
2. A tubular rail for the purpose specified,
said rail having parts swaged inward and hermetically connected together, and the rail also {having a transverse opening formed therein at said swaged portion.
3. A tubular rail for the purpose specified, said rail having its side portions at the web swaged inward toward each other and welded together, and the rail also having a transverse opening passed through said swaged portions.
ft. The combination of a tubular main railsection having parts of its side portions swaged inward and hermetically connected together and also having an opening passing through said swaged portions, fish-plates lying'against the sides of the main rail-section, a bolt passing through the fish-plates and through said opening in the main railsection, and a removable ball or cap placed on the main rail-section and engagedwith the fish-plates.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEORGE ANSON CASE.-
