Description

No. 826,045. PATENTED JULY 17, 1906.,

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented. July 17, 1906.
Application filed May 14, 1906. Serial. No. 316,896-
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, LLOYD M. MENGLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at West Hamburg, in the county of Berks and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railway-Rail Joints, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in railway-rail joints; and the object of my invention is to provide a rail-joint in which the rails do not require to be provided with the usual bolt-holes and one in which the joint is made secure, while the removal of a section of the rail may be easily accomplished.
The invention is more fully described in the following specification and clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a sectional view of myrail-joint, and Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof.
The numeral 1 designates a rail of ordinary construction, differing only in the fact that it is not provided with the usual bolt-holes.
The numeral 2 designates a bed-plate upon which the rail rests. This bed-plate is secured to the cross-ties by means of spikes in the same manner that the rail-base is usually secured thereto. This base-plate has formed integral therewith five equidistant angled clamping members 3. This plate is also pro vided with an internally screw threaded opening 6 directly opposite each of these members 3.
The numeral 4 designates a series of removable clamping-plates equal in number to the members 3. These members 4 are formed each with an opening 7, adapted to register with the openings 6 in the base-plate.
The numeral 5 designates the bolts which pass through the openings 7 and into the openings 6 in the base-plate and by means of which the members 4 are secured thereto.
The base-plate is secured to the cross-ties by means of spikes 10 in the same manner that the rail-base is usually secured thereto. The rail end is placed in position against the members 8, and the removable members 4 are then placed in position and the bolts 5 screwed into them and into the bed-plate,
thus securely clamping the rail ends together and to said bed-plate. To replace a rail-section, the members 4 need only be removed and the rail may be withdrawn and replaced by another.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a railway-rail joint the combination of a rail having a solid web, with a perforated bedplate lying beneath saidrail and extending beyond the line of the rail-base, five equidis tant an led clamping members formed integral wit said bed-plate on one side thereof, each member being directly opposite one of said perforations in the bed-plate, removable, perforated clamping members adapted to be secured to said bed-plate directly opposite said stationary members and bolts adapted to pass through the perforations in said removable members and to enter the screwthreaded openings in said bed-plate, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
