GEORGE N. HODGDON, OF NASHUA, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
RAIL-JOINT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,626, dated October 3], 1882.
(No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE N. HODGDON, of Nashua, Hillshorough county, New Hampshire, have invented a new and Improved Rail- Joint, of which the following is a specification.
Figurelrepresents a perspective view of my improved rail-joint support, and Fig. 2 a side view of the same.
The object of my invention is to provide an efi'ectual support for the joint-tie, that it may not settle, and consequently the expenses of repairs of road-bed, battered and broken rails, and wear and tear of rolling-stock be diminished.
The invention consists in placing thejointtie in a truss, the ends of which rest on and are supported by the first ties on each side thereof.
In the drawings, a represents the joint-tie, and b b represent the side ties, across which is laid a bar of metal or wood, 0, over or from which is suspended a strap of metal, (I, which,
passing under the joint-tie a, forms a truss. The support thus given thejoint-tie effectually prevents that settling of the joints which is the prolific cause of battered and broken rails, and that incidentally effects the destruction of rolling-stock by derailment and otherwise.
My invention relates, not to making the railjoint self-supporting, but to furnishing a support to the tie on' which the connecting ends of rails rest.
Having thus described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent In the construction of a railroad-bed, the combination of the rail-joint-supporting tie a, the side ties, b b, the bar 0, and the strap (7, arranged and constructed essentially as described.
GEORGE N. HODGDON.
