' T0-aZZ whom it may concern;
Belt known that I, JOHN OROY, a. citizen State of Michigan-have invented new anduseful Improvements. in ExpansiomCulverts, of which the followin is a specification,
object-of the invention being to provide an expansion culvert, or in other words a culvert madeu ofa' lurahtyof sect-1ons-hav-' ing a jointe inter ock ediand movable con- "ne'ction'with each other in order to adapt the culvert as aiwhole to readily. accommodate itself to'changes' temperature. v --W ith the above general object invi'ew, the
invention consists in the novel construction, combination.- and arrangement herein fullydescribed, illustrated and claimed.
bodyingthe present invention Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a' portion of the same. Fig.
3' is'a horizontal section taken on the line "33 of Fig. i lookingiizqnvard.

The side sectfonsZ and 3' are arched .as shown in Fig. 1 and constructed so as to overlap eachother at the top, one of the sections being rabbeted as shown at'6 toreceive the I end ofthe opposite-sidejsection to admit of This invention rel ates to' culverts the accompanying drawings "-Figurel is an end view of an expansion culvert'ernself be composed. of any'fdesirednumber ofsections according to the ng-th of the culvert.

thereby forming a thoroughly braced. con-' ,nec'tion between said sections at the .top of J the culvert. i I I Each of'the side sections 2 and 3 s provvided at its bottom edge Witha cylindrical ness of thebody of the side section while'the width of said slot isless than. the Width or diameter of the cylindrical bead- 8.. This permits the sections 2 or 3 to rock relatively to the bottom section while preventing any l h s n-' terlock rock joint is established between the sidesections of the culvert and the bottom possibility of the-two. sectionsbecomi-n'g disconnected one. from the other.

V Under the preferred" embodiment of 1 the. The culvert contemplated in this inven-.
invention, the sections of the culvert are proculvert as a page' By means scribed, .a-very desirable form of sectional culvert is provided, which does away with all rejections upon the interior of the culvert iiabie to catch and hold refuse, theinterior of the culvert being practically. smooth and un broken. 1 I r Having described.the-invention,I claim "as new:-''
A culvert comprising provided with knuckles havingslotsand side sections provided with cylindrical beads removably fitted in the knuckles, the slots of the knuckleshaving awidthin excess of the thickness of the side sections endless than the diameter of the cylindrical beads.
