PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ramps.
We, JAMES RUSSELL of 15 Windsor Road Ealing in the County of Middlesex,
Gentleman and VICTOR ISIDORE FEET of 60 Queen Victoria Street in the City
and County of London, Consulting Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows :—
In our Specification No. 11083 dated the 13th day of June 1892, we describe the
adjusting of a ramp in position on the rail by means of certain horns or projections
on the underside of the ramp. With a view to more effectually securing or locking
the ramp in position when adjusted we form on the back end of the inner face of
the horns, projections such that when the ramp is applied with its axis in the
direction of the rail, they will pass over the head of the rail and when the ramp is
turned to either side, the projection on the near face of the horns will engage or
enter beneath the head of the rail and so lock the ramp securely in position until
its axis is again turned in the direction of the rail.
These locking projections may also be applied to ramps having saddles of suit-
able construction in place of our horns.
Dated this Twentieth day of March 1893.
