Description
ttuqitml gaat @magi ZEBINA EASTMAN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
Letters Manilva. 89,210, dem Aprila), 1869.
IMPROVEMENT IN THE GONSTRUCTION OF STREET-RAILWAYS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ZEBINA EASTMAN, of Chicago, in the State of Illinois, at present residing abroad as the United States consul at Bristol, England, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Iron Rails lfor Cars Running in vStreets of Cities, which invention was patented in the United States Patent Office, dated September 3, 1867, No. 68,421; and whereas, I have since discoverednew and important improvements in the form and construction of the rails, to be used in conjunction with the said patent, and with the rails therein described, I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact dcscriptionof the nature, construction, and operation of the improvement I have made, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, whichv are made part of this specification, which are as follows Figure 1 is a plan view of a full size No. 1 rail, of the particular form and construction of my rail.
A is a vertical or transverse section of the same rail, showing its shape as seen from the end.
B is atop view, or the rail as seen in the street when laid in position.
B2 is the same rail, with a change in the shape of the notches. References l 1, (the white spaces,) are the raised parts between the notches, on the edges of the rails which are left flush, or full to the surface when the rail is rolled.
2 2 are the depressed parts, shaded, or notched between the raised parts l, which by their form, present open places, in which the tires, or rims of' the wheels will catch when coming out of the groove.
They also furnish a foothold on which the shoe or hoof of thelhorse may catch, and not slip, when he happens to strike the surface of the rail.
These notches are made in different forms, asseen in I3 and B2, s o as to be better adapted to the use that may bc required of them.`
Figure 2 is a view of the same rail on a scale of onefourth to one inch, with an accompanying perforated flange, or supporting piece, and a chair A is a sectional or end view of the same.
B Bl are side views of the parts of the rail above the supporting iange or Stringer, which is laid Within the paving.
In A, c is the wedged-shaped flange or supporting used as a substitute for a tie, turned square at eachend, and sharpened and laid across from the chair of, one rail to the other, and driven like a spike throughVV a hole in the chair into the ground.
I This will hold the chair and the rail in position until supported and made rm by the paving being laid under and into the rail and its supporting cast-iron flange.
7i. h are openings left in the cast-iron piece, through which parts of the paving-stones may pass, in order to hold the rail down, and make it a part of and iucorporate it with the paving.
When the paving-stones are pitched or leaned in theirposition, the holes are made correspondingly pitching, or inclined, so as to receive apart of the paving, or some of the courses `of the blocks.
The design in this arrangement is to make the supporting part of the rail broad enough to reach to the depth of the paving, there heldin a chair beneath the stones, and the support resting on a'series of dat stones laid along the line of the rails, the endsl of the pavingstones lying upon this course, and under the edge of the rail.
In this way the paving will be kept from sinking down along the side of the rail, and be enabled to dispense with stringers, sleepers, and ties.
. I claim as original and new, for which I desire protection and a patent- The formation of a wrought-iron ange of the rail, or a cast-iron attachment to the under part of it, with openings square or inclined, as the case may require, into which, or through which to pass the paving-stone for the support of the rail, and so designed as to furnish a substitutefor wooden stringers and ties.
ZEBINA EASTMAN.
