Specification o! Letters Patent.
Patented May 1B, 1909.
' Application tiled December 5, 1908. Serial No. 466,129.
.To all whom it 'only concern:
Be it known that we, RALPH Iemso and Donoxuu Harn, said Rim-n Psmso being a subject of Italy and .said Douoxicn SACK a citizen of the United States, residing at Yandel-griff; I'leights, in the county of W'estmorelnnd and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rail-Joints, ot' which the following is a specification.
Our invention relatesto an improvement in rail-joints, and is designed, and intended, to be applicable for the purpose of uniting the shutting ends of two rai! sections without the. use ot' nuts or bolts.
The principal feature which We consider as new in our invention consists in the novel construction of the splice-bars, as shown, and the manner of interlocking them in engragement with the abutting rail sections.
In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a perspective View of two rail sect-ions haring one of the splice-bars in position.
Fig. 2 is nplan and part sectional view shon'lnv both spl1ce-bars 1n position and interlored wit-h the rail sections.v Fi". 3 shows-z a detached View of one of the sp icel'iars, and Fig. l is a cross sectional View taken onthe line lV--IV of F ig. 9..
Throughout the drawing the numeral 1 lesivnates the rail sections, the base fla-n es of wxich, beginning at a pre-determined 1stance from each end of the rail, are constructed somewhat wider in cross section than the remainino' portion of said flax Ges, being designated liv the numeral 2. his feature provides aroad base for the meeting ends of the rai-1 sections. and by so doing lessons the possibility of the rails heine: forced outof their track alinenlent, or of turning over when subjected, especially on curves, to the grinding pressure of the car wheels. This particular construction is likewise. beneficial as affording a sutticiency of metal at this point. to allow for the unching of holes 3, and also to afford an a equate seat for the splice-bars 4. These latter members are constructed similar in configuration to those now in common use, where bolts and nuts are used, with the exception that the portion which engages with the base flange of the rail sect-ion is enlarged, and corresponds in .width to the widened outportion 2 of said rail sections, n plurality of apertures 5 being unched in said licelmrs, which are inten ed to register wit the aforesaid a ertures 3 formed 1n the base of the rail. he inner face of each splice-bar has formed thereon a plurality ofprojecting hooks or L-sha-ped ugs 6, which are designed to enter through slots T formed in the web of the rail sections. These lugs are so positioned on the splice-bars that when said bars are in their respect-ive seats, and engaging the rail sections at both sides. of the joint, said lugs 6 on one of the bars will enter the corres )ondingly spaced slots 7 formed in the we of both m11 sections, all the locki fr lugs pointing in one direction, while the ugs on the o posite bar will enter correspondingly spa slots in the rail web, but will point in the opposite direction.
The particular relative formation of the lugs 6, which consists in disposing the same in alternate opposite directions when ln Ee sition, insures an interlocking feature tween the rails and s lice-bars, and constitutes the fundamenta idea involved in our invention.
As will be seen, by reference to Fig. 3, the inner face of each locking lug 6 has a tapered portion S, and this tapered surface contacts with the side of the rail web adjacent to the slots 7, and, after said lugs-have been inserted through said slots, the bars are driven forward, until the limitof movement is reached, which will be when the edge of the opening 7 contacts Wit-h the straight inner face 9 of the locking lugs, and be wedged tivhtly in position; after which spikes, or ot ier fastening means, are. introduced through the registering apertures formed in the bars and base flange of the rails, thereby preventing said bars from moving away from their locked posit-ions, and a-tthe same time providing` a reliable splice for uniting the rail sections.
Having thus shown and described our invention what we claim as new, and desire to secure bv Let-ters Patent, is:
In a rai -joint, the combination with the rails having slot-s formed in the web thereof adjacentl each end, of splice-bars adapted to engage the ruil sections on each side of the web, said splice-bars having formed thereon hook shaped and tapered lugs which enter through the slots formed iu the ruil web,
und, when Suid splice-huis are moved longi- 'ing means passing throuh regsterlzg apbase tudinally with the ruil sections, engage the I In testimony whereof wc uix our signurul web adjacent each slot, said lugs being i tures in presence of two witnesses.
positioned 1n alternate oxosite dnfections l thus forming an interloc `ng feature between t-he ralls and spllce-bars; and fastenertures formed in thel sp oebars a flange of the rail sections. 1
