dui-tml i Costarica @met @twine WILLIAM DONOGIIUE AND FREDERICK L. CHARLTON, 0F PHILADELPHIA,V4 PENNSYLVANIA. f
Letters Patent No. 96,559, dated November 9, 1869.
IMPROVIEII)v HOSE-BRIDGE.
The Schedule referred to in4 these Letters Patent and making part Vof the same To all whom it may conce/rn Be it. known that we, WILLIAM DONOGHUE and FREDERICK L. CHARLTON, both of the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Bridge orHose-Jumper for' Railway-Cars; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying sheet of drawings, and to the letters of lreference'marked the horses pass'over the hose at the same elevation" i with the cars.
lOn reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, making part'of this specilication- Figure 1 is a perspective View of the bridge without the flooring;
Figure 2 is the same View with the flooring", and
-Figure 3 is a perspective view ofthe transverse tierods.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views:
A B are sides or housings, the loweredges of which are perfectly flat and level, to correspond with the rails on which they rest.
Their upper edges are composed of double inclines a b, wllichrise from the level of the track, and meet in a curve at their centres, and at any convenient height above the track. The said inclined tops or surfaces correspond in every particular with the rails on which the housings stand.
D E are any convenient number of transverse tie-` rods, the ends of which have the wedge-shaped dovetailed projections or tenons c, which take into similarly-shaped mortises d, on the inner sides of the housings A B, and when properly adjusted in place, the housings are firmly held together. The housings are set apart at a distance equal to the width of the rails.
To provide proper facilities for thehorses to pass over the bridge, a temporary movable door is provided, which is constructed in sections' G H, which are hinged together at h, to conform to the positions oi the transverse tie-rods on which they are carried, they being at different levels, to conform with the inclinations ofthe tops or rails a b.'
When not in use, the floor-pieces are folded, thetierods are`detached from the sides, and the whole is readily packed under the seat of the car or other convenient place.
When wantedfor use, it is set up and placed over the various lines of hose which cross the railway at that point, provision having been made for several lines of Ahose by providing a number of openings, K, inthe bottom of each panel.
lovkeep the bridge from shiftingV when in use, it is' proposed to use loops lo, through which pins can be driven into the pavement.
A series of transverse foot-strips, Z, are xed to theV floor-pieces, to keep the horses from slipping.
What we claim as our invention, and desire to se cure by Letters Patent, is-
The sides A B, having the hose-openings K, trans- .lverse tie-rods C D E, having the tenen-ends c, the
mortises d, on the sides A B, and the movable adjustable door F G H, carried by the transverse tie-rodsC D E, the whole combined and arranged substantially as shown and described. f
In testimony whereof, we hereunto sign our names in presence of two subscribing Witnesses. WILLIAM DONOGHUE.
FREDERICK L. CHARLTON. Witnesses:
FRANCIS D. PAsTonIUs, -ABSALOM ZEARFoss.
