Description
W. JOHNSTON. RAILWAY RAIL JOINT.
N0. 94,607. Patented Sept. 7, 1869.
,Q tetw fitnited 1mm omit,
WILLIAM JOHNSTON, OF HAVELOGK, PENNSYLIVANIA.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM J ()HNSTON, of Havelock, in the county of Washington, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Railroad-Rails and Joints; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptiont-bereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in connecting the joints of railroad-rai1s with a steel cap, in such a manner as to hold said joints securely without rattling, present a smooth, continuous surface to the wheels, and prevent flattening of the ends of the rails; also in furnishing a means whereby old rails, the ends of which have become flattened, may be used again, by slightly altering them.
To enable those skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
In the drawings- A A represent two ordinary railroad-rails, and
B, a steel cap, the outside of which corresponds with the form of the rails.
The ends of the rails have tongues a formed on them, by cutting away a portion of the top, and the Letters Patent No. 94,607, dated September 7-, 1869. v
IMPROVED RAILWAY-RAIL JOINT.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
cap B is formed with a groove, 1), which fits said tongues when the ends of the rails are together.
The cap B is secured to the rails bybolts epassing transversely through them and held by nuts.
The cap and rails are secured to the ties by spikes (l passing through their flanges and into the ties.
The holes in the rails through which the bolts and spikes pass, are elongated, so as to allow for expansion and contraction of the rails.
\Vhen the ends of the rails are placed together and the cap secured in place, the joints are held securely, and present a, smooth, continuous surface to the wheels.
'When old rails have become flattened at the ends, by constant use, they may be cut away at the ends, so as to form tongues, as shown at a, and may be used in connection with the caps B.
Having thus described in invention,
\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The steel cap B, in combination with the rails A A, when constructed and arranged as herein shown and described.
WM. JOHNSTON.
