-To ALL WHCM rr MAY CoNeneN;
Be it known that we, WLIIIAM LEWIS, JO'HN PRICE, and FRANCIS NAYLCR, all of Danville, in the county of- Monteur, and State of Pennsylvania, have in'vent'ed'a new and'useful improvement inPiles for Rolling Railroad Rails; and tre do hereby declare that the following is a full, clem-and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilledin the art to fullyunderstand and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingv drawing, forming a part of this specification. Suid drawing represents aside elevation of our improvement,
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
Our invention relates toa method of forming piles or fagots (preparatory to Welding and 1e-1'olling`)0f` short har iron, as well as pieces Cf oldjrails, and of top pieces, or of top and bottom pieces, of steel or other similar metal` having corrugati'ons or projections and grooves on their inner faces, substantially as hereinafter set forth.
In lthe re-rolling of railroad rails or the rolling of bar 'iron from old railroad rails, considerable trouble and inconveniencel have always been experienced in forming, combining, andkeeping together theshort lengths ol' the old rails in suitable V piles` or fagots While undergoing the process of"rcheating in the'reverberatory furnace. This difliculty has been due to the peculiar irregular formoflhe rails, which issuch that the shortbars .thereof cannot be piled or fagotcd like rectangular bars, and are therefore liable to fall apart when submitted to the action of the furnace and the disturbance of charging the same during the Aheating operation.
One of the objects of our invention is to construct a fagot with a top piece o r top and bottom pieces of steel or similar metal, corrugated or so formed that when rolled into a railroad rail the corrugations of the ltop'or top and bottom pieces Will projectiuto and interlock the iron body of the rail.
Another of the objects of-our invention is to obviate the above-mentioned diieulty, and we succeed in combi-ning thesaid short bars of old rails into compact piles or fagots in the following manner:
We iirst provide a bottom plate or layer, A, of corrugated form, as' shown, made of old rails, puddled iron,. or rte-heated puddled iron or steel, and upon the bottom plate A welay in sidewise position the rail bars'B B, the `projections a a in plate A fitting into the necks of the rails and the heads of the rails ttting into'the depressions of the plate A, as shown. Upon the upper sides of the bars B B we now lay in sidewise position two other rail bars, C C, the bases of whiclrabut against each other, and their heads iitinto the necks of the rails B B, I i
underneath them. AUpon the bars C C are now placed two more'rail bars, D D, with their, heads turned inward and fitted into the necks of the bars C C, underneath them, as shown, und upon the top of the bars DD ive now place a' corrugated top plate, A', of,\vhich vthe-,end projections aa' fit into the necks of the rails D D, and the heads of the rails D D fit into the depressions Z1' b' of plate A, as shown. The several projections and depressions of the plates A A', with the rails laid upon them and upon each other, as shown, interlock ,with
each, so as to form a lirm, eot'npaet pile, which cannot easily be broken apart by the charging or other disturbonces during the heating operation, and which is easy tomove and place in the rolls, andl it is not liable to laminat'e, owing to the close interlocking of the 4several bars and theincreased Welding surface. y Bar iron may also be piled and interlock in like manner with said steel or Asimilar metal cap, and be held firm vin its place bysaid grooves and projections. The topplate A', which is to form the' head or upper surface of the bar or rail, maybe made of peculiar metal or rnetal dierent from the body, if desirable. The said plate A' is or may be composed of-re-heated iron or steel, or. above the plate. A' there may be'pla'lced st ill another plate composed of steel, or a metal plate haring' such qualities as it may be desired to impart to the upper surface of the rolled bar or rail.
We do not confine ourselves to the use of any particular size of .corrugated plates A A', nor to' any. particular number of interlocking rails or bars for fagots for railroad rails.
1. We claim the corrugated steel slabs or form pieces A A' for fagots for railroad rails. v 2. We also claim forming the piles for themanufacture of steel-faced rails by the combination of iron bars with facing slabs of cast steel, provided -with intermediateprojeetions on their inner'surfuces for the purpose of facilitating the welding of the-steel to the iron, substantially 'as set forth.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto subscribed our naines.
