Description

UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.
NUT-LOCK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 4, v1906.
Application filed December 22, 1905. Serial N0- 293,023-
To all, whom it may concern.
Be it known that 1, JAMES L. LUSHER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Grant county, in the State of Indiana, (whose post-office address is Van Buren,) have invented a Nut-Lock, as set forth in the anneXed specification.
This invention relates to a device for locking two or more bolts associated or closely grouped togetheras, for instance, in railjoints.
The objects of the invention are to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efficient locking means for rail-joints and other apparatus where a plurality of bolts are employed, the same consisting of few parts and capable of being easily applied or removed.
With these ends in view and others, as will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the invention comprises the various novel features of construction and arrangement of parts to be more fully described hereinafter and set forth with particularity in the claims appended hereto.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate certain embodiments of which the invention is capable, Figure 1 is a side eleva tion of a rail-joint provided with the improved nut-lock. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a modified form of nut-lock. Fig. 4 is a plan view thereof with parts broken away.
Corresponding parts in the several figures are indicated throughout by similar characters of reference.
Referringto the drawings, 1 and 2 designate the adjacent ends of two rail-sections, and 3 represents fish-plates arranged on opposite sides of the web of the rails and provided with bolt-receiving openings adapted to register with the openings in the rails, so as to receive the bolts 4 in accordance with the standard practice of rail construction. The nuts of the bolts are indicated at 6, and
these are held in locked position by a locking.
bar or plate 7, provided along its bottom edge with angular openings corresponding in shape, size, and relative position to the nuts, so as to be assembled over them. When the nuts'are disposed all on one side of the rails, a single locking-bar is sufficient but when the bolts are staggered on opposite sides of the rail two plates for locking the nuts are employed, as will be readily understood. The locking-bar is held in position by bolts (indicated at 8) or any other suitable retaining means. The locking-bar and adjacent fishplate are provided with registering openings, the openingsin the fish-plate being tapped so as to receive the threads of the bolts 8. In order to prevent the bolt from working loose, rubber rings 9 or other equivalent means are arranged on the retaining-bolts and held under compression between the fish-plate and locking-bar. By this arrangement the locking-bar is securely held in position, and by simply removing the bolts 8 it can be lifted off the nuts when it is desired to break the rail-joint.
In the modification shown in Figs. 3 and 4: a diflerent form of retaining means for the locking-bar is provided. The fish-plate 10, disposed on the same side of the rail with the locking-bar 11, is preferably provided with an offset or recessed portion, (indicated at 12,)
said portion being apertured at 13 to register with an aperture 14 in the locking-bar.
Through these apertures a cotter-pin 15 is I have described the principle of operation of the invention, together with the apparatus which I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof; but I desire to have it understood that the apparatus shown is merely illustrative and that various changes may be made as are within'the scope of the inven tion.
What is claimed is 1. In a nut-locking device, the combination of a plurality of nuts, a single-piece locking member provided with slots in one of its edges for engaging the nuts, a retaining de vice for the locking member, and means on the retaining device which is held under compression by the locking member.
2. In a nut-locking device, the combination of a plurality of nuts and bolts, a locking-bar having notches in one of its longitudinal edges for engaging the nuts, a plate through which the bolts pass and against IIO which the nuts bear, a retaining device secured to the plate for holding the bar in position, and a compressible member on the retaining device Which is held under compression between and against the plate and locking-bar.
3. In a locking device, the combination of a plurality of nuts and bolts, parts to be connected, a plate connected to the said parts by the bolts and provided With an apertured recessed portion, a locking-bar provided with slots for engaging the nuts and an aperture registering With the aperture of the plate, and a cotter-pin for holdin the locking-bar in position which extends t rough the aper- 15 ture thereof and of the plate and has its ends spread apart into the recess of the plate.
