UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM N. GORDON, OF COREY, PENNSYLVANIA.
RAIL-JOINT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 18, 1906.
Application filed December 18,1905. Serial No. 292,197.
T0 all whom it may concern:
clear, and exact description of the invention,
such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to railroad-tracks, and more particularly to rail-joints, and has for its object to provide a joint by means of which alining rails may be securely held together against lateral separation and which will also be arranged to prevent sinking of the ends of the rails.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description.
In the drawin s forming a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar arts in the several views, Figure 1 is a side e evation. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section just below the treads of the rails. Fig.3 is a transverse section.
Referring now to the drawings, the present invention comprises a casting 5, including a horizontal base-plate 6, having an upwardlyextending flange 7 at one edge and extending longitudinally thereof. At the opposite side of the baselate the casting extends upwardly, as shown at 8, and then inwardly, as shown at 9, to form a recess 10 for the reception of one base-flange. of a rail, and at its inner edge the portion 9 has an upwardly-extending vertical wall 11, formed integral therewith.
A removable member is provided and consists of a web portion 13, having a longitudinally-extending depending flange 14 at one edge and an upwardly-extending wall 15 at its other edge. This member is dis osed upon the base-plate 6 inwardly of the ange 7 and with its web portion 13 extending upwardly and inwardly to form a recess 16 between it and the base-plate, the flange 14 resting, against the base-plate and against the flange 7.
A plurality of alining pairs of openings 17 are formed through the base-plate, the flange 14, and the web 13 and receive confiningbolts 18.
The recesses 10 and 16, as will be seen, re-
" ceive the base-flanges of rails, and the walls 11 and 15, which are in reality fish-plates, rest againstthe sides of the rail-webs. Inwardly-extending ribs 20 are formed upon these walls and bite into the webs of the rails. Confining-bolts 21 are engaged in these walls and in the rails.
Upon the under face of the base-plate 6 of the casting there is a longitudinally-extending arcuate rib 22, directed downwardly, and this rib acts to prevent sagging of the casting at its center.
What is claimed is- In a rail-j oint, the combination with a casting including a base-plate, having one side portion extended upwardly and inwardly thereover to form a recess between it and the base-plate, said inwardly-extending portion having an upwardly-extending longitudinal wall at its inner edge, a removable member including a web portion having an upwardlyextending wall at one edge disposed in arallel relation to the first-named wall, an having a depending flange at its opposite edge resting against the inner face of t e flange of the base-plate and against the base-plate, said flange of the removable member and the base-plate having alining openings therein, and bolts engaged in the openings, the parallel walls of the casting and movable member, having inwardly-directed ribs and having alining openings therein.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM N. GORDON.
