Granted: 1900-03-03
Abstract: 9829. Buck, W. May 10. Points and switches, railway, safety and locking bars for. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the bar b is worked only when the plunger c unlocks the points, while in Fig. 6 it is worked both on locking and unlocking. In Fig. 1 the rod a is connected to the toggles d, d<1>, of which d<1> works the plunger c and d works the bell crank f, which in turn is connected by a link or pusher g to the slotted T-lever h, which works the safety &c. bar b. On one stroke, the pusher g moves the T-lever h, and on the return stroke it slides along the slot, this motion being assisted by a spring m with a fixed pivot n and link connections o, p, or a spring-pressed cam bar may replace this arrangement. Instead of the toggles d, d' and rod a, the dotted cranks &c. y and rod z may be used. Stops s prevent the pusher g from moving along the slot of the T-lever except at the ends of its stroke, and a trip lever t on the rod a catches a stop u on the bar b, and stops the stroke if the bar has not lifted. In Fig. 6, the rod a is connected by a link f to the two pairs of toggles c c', e e<1> which work the lever d connected to the bar b and to the plunger p directly or by the arm j, shown in dotted lines, and stops h on the plate carrying the fixed pivots of the toggles to limit their motion. The toggle gear may be placed between or outside the rails, and may work inside or outside bars, and in some cases the locking- plungers are omitted and only bars such as clearance &c. bars are worked.
