RAILWAY SPLICE-BAR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 729,388, dated May 26, 1903. Application filed November 28, 1902. Serial No, 132,999. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known thatLIsAAc O. MOCLASKEY, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Millvale, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have .invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railway Splice-Bars and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
The object of my invention is a splice-bar for railway-rail joints, being of that class requiring no bolts, nuts, &c.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation of arailway-rail, showing my device aflixed thereto at the junction of two rails.
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of my device, taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of my invention as applied at the junction of two rails, the said rails being shown by dotted lines. Fig.4 is a detached perspective view of one of the clench-bars used by me in my invention. Fig. -5 is a perspectiveview of the base-wedge used in my device.
In the drawings the numeral 1 represents a railway-rail. 3 is the tread of the rail. 4 is the web of the rail, and 5 is the base. 6 is a wedge-bar or plate formed to fit in between the lower ends of the two clench-bars and'the full length of the same. 7 7 are the two clench-bars, made in shape as seen in Fig. 2 and in length about nine inches. These bars 7 and wedge 6 will be of the same length. 8 is the base-plate, made in length to correspond with the bars 7 g and wedge 6. lower ends of the bars 7 will be slightly sloped, so as to correspond with the sloping sides of the wedge 6. g
' The base-plate has the raised side portions 11. (Seen in Fig. 2.) These sides should be The made very strong, so as to resist the lateral pressure they will be subjected to when in position -onthe rail." On the inner sides of these side portions 11 I form the concave surface. (Also seen in Fig. 1.) This concavity is to receive the convex side of the clenchbars 7, and when the said bars are in position the upper ends will engage with the web of the rail and the lower ends will engage the wedge 6. It will therefore be seen that on forcing the wedge fidownward against the lower ends of the two bars'at 1O 10 the operation will force the bars in the concavity of the sides 11 and against the web of the rail, so that the greater the weight on the wedge 6 the greater will be the pressure at the point where the upper ends of the bars 7 press against the web of the rail. In this way my plan of connecting railway-rails at the-ends by the means shown will dispense with nuts and bolts altogether.
9 9 are bolt or spike holes for fastening the base-plate 8 to the ties.
Having thus described and shown my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
1. In a railway splice-bar for connecting theends of two rails, the wedge 6 in combination with the clench-bars 7, and the baseplate Shaving the parts 11; substantially as described and shown.
2. In a railway splice-bar for connecting the ends of two rails, the wedge 6 the base plate 8 having theparts 11; splice-bars 7 and the rails to be connected, substantially as described and shown.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto af= fixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
