RAIL-JOINT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 20, 1906.
Application filed September 13, 1906. Serial No. 334,493.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, ROBERT M. LYNN, a
citizen of the United States of America, re- 1 siding at Wilkinsburg, in the county of Al 3 legheny and State of Pennsylvania, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Rail-Joints, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad. therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to rail-joints; and its object is to provide a simple, effective, and durable joint without the employment of the usual bolts and. nuts.
The construction of the improvement will be fully described hereinafter in connection with the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and its novel features will be clearly defined in the appended claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view'in perspective of the meeting ends of two railwayrails constructed in accordance with my in vention, the rails being shown separated; and Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section showing the two rails joined.
The reference-numeral 1. designates the tread of one of the rails, the end of which is cut away, a portion of the web 2 at the end of the rail being also removed. The meeting rail 3 has the lower portion of the web a cut away for a distance equal to the length of the projecting cut-away web 2 of the opposite rail.
The rail 3 is provided on either side with integral oppositely-disposed splice-bars 5 and l 6, the web portions 7 of which are adapted to fit under the tread of the adjacent rail, while the base portions 8 of said spliced bars overlap the base of the adjoining rail.
, As shown in Fig. 2, the web 2- fits below j the web 4. of the rail j posing end faces 9 of the two rails together. j The improvement constructed as above l described affords an effective and durable l joint and adapts the rails to be readily, con nected without the use of bolts and nuts and l permits them also to be readily disconnected when necessary. l Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat- 1 ent, is
1. The combination with a railway-rail having its web and tread cut away at one end, of a meeting rail having integral splicej bars overlapping the web and base of the other rail and having its web cut away to j receive the web of the adjacent rail.
2. In a rail-joint, the combination with a rail having its tread. and a portion of its web cut away at one end, of a meeting rail having its web cut away to receive the web of the other rail, and oppositely-disposed splicebars formed integral with said meeting rail to overlap the web and base of the other rail.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
ROBERT M. LYNN.
