improvements in Rests Of Chairs for Kanway Foints and working
Points on all Railways Worked from a Signal Box or otherwise.
JOHN WORTHINGTON of 10 Foxhall Road Blackpool in the County of Lancaster
Plumber Glazier and Painter do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN RESTS OR CHAIRS FOR RAILWAY POINTS AND WORKING POINTS
ON ALL RAILWAYS to be as follows:
--
A Box or tank fixed on (sleepers) wood or other suitable material below the
Railway lines in which contain rollers that revolve in oil or other greasy substance
over which is placed a cover that rests on the rollers. When the cover is moved the
rollers revolve and push the cover backwards and forwards as desired by the
Pointsman. On the top of the above mentioned cover of the Box or tank the Railway
metal or Point is fixed. The Box or tank containing oil, greases, oils the rollers and
the rollers grease the underside of the cover when in motion. The method of opening
the Box or tank is to disconnect the Railway metal or point that rests on the cover of
Box when the lid can be removed to examine or repair anything which may be
required. On the top or through it there is a hole with cover through where the
oil is poured to feed the rollers in the Box or tank. The Box or tank may be made
of Iron or other suitable material. By this Invention there is a good supply of oil
and a trifling amount of friction and less labour in keeping the points oiled and
clean compared with the present method of oiling the iron chairs on which the point
or Railway line is moved. I claim as my Invention a Box or tank with revolving
rollers and oil or grease, inside with a moveable cover on which is fixed the Point
or Railway Metal.

I, JOHN WORTHINGTON of 10 Foxhall Road Blackpool in the County of Lancaster
Plumber Glazier and Painter do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:
This Invention of improvements in apparatus for rests or chairs for working
Railway Points and working Points on all Railways worked from a signal Box or
otherwise I arrange as follows. A Box or tank A to be fixed on a Railway sleeper B
fastened with nails or bolts through holes H to sleepers B which are fixed below the
Railway Metal or Line. In the centre of Box A is formed a Tank D for the
reception of Steel, Iron or other suitable revolving rollers C which revolve between
suitable formed projections in the tank D and for oil or other greasy substances. The
rollers C may be made the same diameter at each end or a little larger in diameter at
one end than at the other. Also the Box or tank A may be made streight or in a
curve to suit the radius in which the Railway Point is required to work in. Over
the Box or tank A is placed a moveable cover E that rests on the revolving roller C
in Tank D. In the centre and top portion of cover E it is made thicker as denoted
by letter K and on the flat surface Jis a bracket I forming a portion of cover E with
hole pierced through for bolt N to connect the Railway Point F to the bracket I and
point F and the main line or metal O being all on one level. The space L formed
under the main line O is for the cover E to slide back and forwards under the main
line O and to allow any dirt or paper that may fall down between the main line and
where the Point F joins the main line O to pass under and to prevent an accumulation
of dirt between the Railway Point and the main line. The usual tie rod M. which
connect the two Railway Points, together, when moved draws the cover E on which
rests the Point F fastened to bracket I backwards and forwards over or on the
revolving rollers, contained in the tank D. Through the top of cover E is a hole in
which is placed a screw or plug G for the purpose of feeding the tank D with oil or
grease without disconnecting the railway Point. The Box or Tank with cover and
rollers may be made of Iron or other suitable material. By this Invention there is a
good supply of oil, with little friction and little attention to keep the Railway Points
in working order.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
A Box or Tank in which is contained revolving rollers and oil or greasy substance
with a moveable lid or cover resting on the revolving rollers in the Box or tank on
which is placed a moveable Railway Point and Improvements in rests or chairs for
Railway Points and working Points on all Railways worked from a Signal Box or
otherwise substantially as herein before described and illustrated.
