RAIL-JOINT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 14, 1908.
Application led June 10, 1907. Serial No. 378,237.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, CHESTER A. DYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Coalton, in the county of Jackson and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rail-Joints, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to improvements in rail-joints, and the object of my invention is to provide a rail-joint which will possess the maximum of security, be simple in construction and prove most efficient in operation.
In the drawings illustrating the principle of my invention and the best mode now known to me of applying that principle, Figure l is aside elevation of my new rail-joint; Fig. 2 is a perspective, the end being shown in section on line A-A of Fig. l Fig. 3 is a section on line B-B of Fig. l 3 and Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate a modification.
One side a of the base-plate or chair b is curved inwardly and extends without interruption the whole length of the chair; While the opposite side is formed with lugs c between which extend outwardly the toes d of the plate e. The toes d are spiked to the tie By means of bolts g and nuts h the upper part of the plate e is secured to the web 7l of the rail In assembling the structure, the rail is placed in the chair as shown by the dotted line position in Fig. 3, the plate c having been previously secured to the web t' of the rail j. The rail is then allowed to rotate downwardly around the edge 7c as a pivot and the toes d enter between the lugs c. The inside walls of the latter are curved slightly so that the edge m of the base of the rail will rub against ghe wall, as is indicated by the dotted line in 4ig. 3. I
Fig. 4 shows a modified form in side eleva tion, while Fig. 5 is a perspective view the end being a section on the line C-C of Fig. 4. In this modified form, two plates are used, the plate n being on the opposite side of the web c' from the plate c. The two plates are secured by bolts which run alternately from opposite sides of the web, as is best shown in Fig. 5.
I claim:
1. In a rail-joint, the combination of a chair, one side of which is formed with an upwardly turned flange which extends uninterruptedly the length of the chair, and the other side of which is formed with upwardly turned lugs rails the abutting ends of which rest upon said chair arailway tie upon which said chair is supported; and a plate secured to said rails and provided with toes which extend outwardly between said lugs; said toes being secured to said railway tie.
2. In a rail-joint, the combination of a railway tie; a chair su ported thereby, said chair being formed with an upwardly turned flange on one side, and with upwardly turned lugs upon the other side; rails the abutting ends of which rest upon said chair; a plate secured to one side of said rail, the lower edge of said plate engaging between the base of said rails and said flange; and a second plate secured to the other side of said rails, the last named plate being formed with toes which extend outwardly between said lugs and are secured to said railway tie.-
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand at said Coalton this 4 day of May, A. D., 1907, in the presence of the two undersigned witnesses.
CHESTER A. DYER.
Witnesses:
H. N. ScHoENBEReER, 'A. M. SCOTT.
