RAIL BREAKING DEVICE. APPLICATION IILED'M AR. 19, 1909.
969,256, Patented Sept. 6,1910.
A TTORNE 15a UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES DURIE, 0F TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JAMES DUSTY, OF TORONTO, CANADA.
RAIL-BREAKING- DEVICE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES DURIE, of the city of Toronto, Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rail-Breaking Devices, of which the following is a specification.
My object is to devise means by the aid of which rails may be broken at points close to the ends by the use of the jim crow or other similar rail breaking apparatus.
Briefly described my device comprises a socket piece shaped to receive a rail end and provided with an arm or extension preferably of the same cross section as a rail.
Figure l is a plan View illustrating the method of using my device. Fig. 2 is a per spective View of the device itself. Fig. 3 is a front end elevation of the device. Fig. 4 is a rear end elevation of the device. Fig. 5 is a sectional plan View of the device.
In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.
A is a socket piece preferably of heavy solid construction in which is formed a socket of substantially the same cross section as the rails on which it is to be employed. Formed with or secured to this socket piece is an arm B. This arm is preferably in axial alinement with the socket.
The device is used as follows: In Fig. 1 will be seen a representation of the jim crow used in rail breaking. This device comprises the curved frame 0 adapted at its ends D to hook over a rail and is provided with a screw E movable by means of a nut F to press against the side of the rail. The rail having been nicked or partly cut at the point engaged by the screw F may be snapped by the pressure of the screw. As the jim crow to secure sufficient leverage on the rail must be about 20 or 22 inches from jaw to aw, it is evident that the jim crow cannot be used to break a rail less Specification of Letters Patent.

than about 12 inches from its end, whereas very frequently lengths as short as three inches need to be taken off. Such short lengths hitherto have been removed by more tedious and time consuming means. With my apparatus when short lengths are to be broken off the socket piece is slipped over the end of the rail leaving exposed, of course, the point at which the break is to be made which is previously nicked or partly cut. The jim crow is then applied, one end D being engaged with the rail and the other end D with the arm B. As the arm B is of the same cross section as and in alinement with the socket, the jim crow fits the arm B as readily and accurately as it does the rail, and the pressure of the screw E may be applied to break the rail as readily as if the jim crow were being applied to the rail in the ordinary manner.
From the above description it will be seen that I have devised effective means for carrying out the objects of my invention. It follows, therefore, that with my apparatus the expense and labor of breaking off short ends will be Very considerably reduced.
hat I claim as my invention is:
1. A device for use in breaking rail ends comprising a socket piece adapted to receive a rail end, and an arm on said socket of the same cross section as the interior of the socket.
2. A device for use in breaking rail ends comprising a socket piece adapted to receive a rail end, and an arm on said socket of same cross section as the interior of the socket and in axial alinement with said socket.
Toronto, this 10 day of March 1909.
JAMES DURIE.
