Description
se@ @time GEORGE rarer, or
VSALEM;New YORK.4
Letters Patent No. 87,525,1lated March 2, 1869.
IMI-Boven :Runway-Rain cnamA The ScheduleV refened to these Letters Patent` and making part o! the una.
To all whom it may concern:l
l Be'it known that 1,v GEORGE TEFFT, of Salennin the county of Washington, and State of New "York, have invented eert-ain new anduseful Improvements ih Railroad-Chairs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference beingl had to the' accompanying drawings, making part or this specicat-iou, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, like letters indicating like. parts wherever they-occur.
To enable others skilled iu the art to construct and use my inven lion, I will proceed tov describe it.
My invent-ion relates to "railroad-chairs?? It consists in certain new andnseful improvements in the manner and form of their construction, by which they serve both as a seat for the rail, as well es for tying it fast to thc cross-ties or sleepers.
In the drawingsf l Figure 1 is a perspective view of the rail in its chair;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the chair, with the rail shown in `red lines; 'and Figure 3 is a viewjlof a cross-section ou the line x-x of fig. 2.
I construct my chairof twoV parts, B and C, and arrange them as clearly shown in tig. 2. i
The part or piece B, I make with a slot,` into which l the piecey and 14.
The ends of the piece B,
or tongue' ts easily, as -shown in iigs. 1
made by cutting theslot,
` I bend over, so as to form clasps, a, giving them the i proper bevel `for receiving and holding the rails D.
The end of the tongue-C, which iits into the slot, I bend in a similar manner, so as to' form a clasp, b, for the opposite side of the rail D.
In the centre of the end of the slot in the piece B, I make a sn1allslot,`cl, suiicientlylarge, however, for a strong brad-headed wedge-shaped spike, to be driven, and in the tongue-piece, 0,1 make anotherslot, L10
cated so as to be4 partially under the outer line of the base of the rail D, vwhen'in place, and through it I drive another and similarbrad-headcd wedge-shaped spike, e. i. Y
- 'ln using my improved'chair, the two parts, B and C, are placed on the rail, as represented in the drawings, and then spiked down upon the sleeper; or, they may be placed 'on the sleeperiirst, and the rail slipped inemlwse, and ,then secured by means of' the spikes eandc.
It will be observed that when the chair is in position on the sleeper, with thelrail inserted, the parts B and C cannot be separated without I 'aisingV them ot' the lsleeper, for the reason that the inner end or shoulder ofthe piece Ostrikes against vthe extended part of the piece B, which prevents it from being drawn out, until the part-s are raised suiiciemlyto permit the inner end of C to be raisedenough toslide over the piece B, the lips a being on the opposite sides-'aud preventing their .being drawn out in anyother manner than as above' described. 4 .A
It will also-be observed that the spikes e and o' both bear against the flanges ofthe rail,and thus,ewhile they operate to draw the lips a and b up against the opposite sidesof the rail,y at the same time the spikes themselves serve to wedge the rail fast between them, the heads ofthe spikes resting over the flanges of the rail, and the parts altogether, thus serving to hold the railiu a very secure manuel'.
Having thus described my invention, f What I claim,'is v f The railroad-chair, consisting of the pieces B and C,
constructed and arranged for usein the manner herein shown and described. a
I l `GEORGE TEFFT. l
. Witnesses:
J ons J. Non, GEORGE Downs.
