PATENT OEEICE.
CATTLE-GUARD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 761,074, dated May 31, 1904.
Application iled July 27, 1903.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLARD HoUGHToN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Northbend, in the county of King and AState of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cattle-Guards, of which the following is a specification., reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to an improved cattlc-guard, and has for its object to provide an eiiicient cattle-barrier of simple and economical construction capable of being conveniently swung down by a moving locomotive or train of cars to allow their unobstructed passage thereover.
The invention consists of the novel construction, adaptation, and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly set forth in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, wherein similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views, Figurel is a side elevation of my improved cattleguard shown in place upon a railway-track. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same, showing the track-rails in cross-section.
A represents the track-rails and the ties thereof. Secured totheties longitudinally of the track by suitable fastenings, such as c, are bridge-frames B, provided with long slots in which are severally positioned swinging bars or poles D. The said poles are pivotally connected intermediate their lengths by bolts or pins e. rIhe upper ends d of the poles are extended sufciently high above the level of the track-bed to form an efficient and conspicuous fence, while the lower arms d are each pivotally connected by pins f to vertically-projecting lugs f', which are connected to a weight or beam F, extending transversely Serial No. 167,079. (No model.)
ings.
It may be mentioned that the poles can be operated by a train approaching from either direction and upon being struck will be swung down, as shown by broken lines in Fig. l, and immediately the train has passed the weight hung beneath asserting itself moves the car to its vertical normal position, as shown by full lines in the drawings.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A cattle-guard for railway-tracks comprising a series of bridge-frames extending longitudinally of the track and connected by their ends to the cross-ties, said frames extending above the track and being slotted, a swinging bar pivotally mounted in each of said frames and having their ends extending beyond the top and bottom of said frames, a swinging weight extending transverse of the track, and common to each ofl the bars, and a pivotal connection between the lower ends of each of the bars and the said weight.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILLARD HOUGHION.
