1. WILLIAM EDWARD KENWAY General Manager of the Birmingham and Midland
Tramways Limited of 34 Summer Row Birmingham in the County of Warwick do
hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
My Invention has for its object to provide cheap and efficient points for Tramways
which are simple in construction and not liable to get out of order and can be renewed
or repaired without removing part of the roadway and give easy travelling of the
vehicles thereover.
:-
As applied to a spring point I construct the point according to my Invention as
follows The moveable tongue of the point is made of the usual wedge shape
preferably with its bearing part beneath not continuous but of a waved figure or with
passages between it and the casting in which it moves so as to reduce friction and
allow dirt to pass through to the dirt boxes at the sides. Bolts preferably of Phosphor
Bronze are employed to guide the tongue and keep it in its place. In the stationary
casting of the point 1 mount a bolt with a rounded front part in such a position that
it is situated in longitudinal line with or in front of the extreme end or point of the
tongue a spring or its equivalent pressing this bolt outwards but its rounded end
allowing the tongue to pass it from either side to the other the said bolt preventing
the tongue remaining partly open by accident so that a vehicle is not thereby liable to
be thrown off the rails. The position of the spring bolt is very favourable to its not
becoming inoperative by dirt or ice. The butt end of the point is held firmly between
projections or in a recess in the stationary casting between which projections or into
which recess it fits so that it can be readily put into or removed from its position.
In order to convert the point from a moveable point to a spring point a wedge or
filling piece inserted on either side of the tongue and fits into a dovetailed recess in
the hollow of the stationary casting of the point near the root or butt end of the
tongue. The spring bolt at the end of tongue is withdrawn when the wedge is used.
The wedge may be housed when out of use in one of the dirt boxes in which pro-
jections may be cast to receive it. The covers of the dirt boxes may have downwardly

page_text: projecting flanges to cover the heads of the guide bolts to keep them in place and the
spring bolt may be similarly retained so that when the dirt box covers are removed
the bolts may be readily withdrawn and replaced.
When dealing with stationary points I make upon or fix to the inside of the tread
of the tramway rail a swell in such a position and so curved as to direct the wheels of
the vehicles travelling thereover onto the rails on which it is to travel. The said swell
is so rounded or curved that the strain on the wheels when passing in contact with it
is very slight and the wheels are directed so as not to strike the end or weakest part
of the point onto which the wheels are directed. To prevent jarring when the wheels
run into the tongue the groove of the rail near the point of the tongue may be
gradually reduced in depth or I may make a gentle swell upon the tread of the rails
at the part just before the point proper is reached.
wears away.
When I use removeable pieces at this part I may make the swells in duplicate so
that the removeable piece may be reversed to bring the second swell into position at
the inner side of the tread of the rail. The swells may be applied to points that have
been made with renewable fillets in them for renewing the "drop off" piece which
I chip off the thin lip that is on the main casting and I put in the piece
provided with the swell or swells as described dispensing with the "drop off." These
inay he held in position by lugs secured to the casting by pins or screws. The
removeable wearing parts may be connected to the casting so that they can be
removed without removing any part of the roadway by fixing screw nuts in the
casting (they may be inserted from the side of the casting) and screwing down bolts
from above through the renewable piece into the said nuts. In order to enable the
vehicles to be run onto the track upon which they do not normally run I
make a

recess in the bottom of the groove of the point at the part close to the point of the
tongue and in this I insert a guiding piece or moveable point piece against which the
flanges of the vehicles bear to guide them into the said track upon which they do not
normally run.

page_text: Improvements in or Connected with Points for Tramways.
I WILLIAM EDWARD KENWAY General Manager of the Birmingham and Midland
Tramways Limited of 34 Summer Row Birmingham in the County of Warwick 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:-
My Invention has for its object to provide cheap and efficient points for trainways
which are simple in construction and not liable to get out of order and can be removed
or repaired without removing part of the roadway and give easy travelling of the
vehicles thereover.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings of which
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section Figure 2 a plan and Figures 3 and 4 transverse
sections (taken respectively on the line 1. 2 and 3. 4 of Figure 2) illustrating my
invention with reference to movable and spring points. Figure 5 is a plan, Figure 6
a side elevation and Figure 7 a transverse section (taken on the line 5. 6. Figure 5)
illustrating my improvements in stationary points and Figures 8 and 9 are respectively
a plan and transverse section (taken on the line 7. 8. Figure 8) shewing a modification
according to iny Invention.
Referring to Figures 1 to 4 A is the movable tongue of the point which tongue is
made of the usual wedge shape but has its bearing part beneath not (as is usual)
continuous but of a waved or equivalent figure (as shewn clearly in Figure 1) so as
to form passages B between it and the casting C. in which it moves to reduce
friction and allow dirt to pass through to the dirt boxes D at the sides. Bolts E
(preferably of phosphor bronze) are employed to guide the tongue A and keep it in
its place. In the stationary casting C. of the point I mount a bolt F (preferably of
phosphor bronze) having a rounded or V shaped front part and situated in longitu-
dinal line with and in front of the extreme end or point a of the tongue A a spring f
or its equivalent pressing this bolt outwards but the end of the said bolt allowing the
point a of the tongue lo pass from either side to the other the said bolt F preventing
the tongue remaining half open by accident so that when the said bolt F is used a
vehicle is not liable to be thrown off the rails. The position of the spring bolt is very
favourable to its not becoming inoperative by dirt or ice. The butt end a² of the
tongue A is held firmly between projections or in a recess in the stationary casting
between which projections or into which recess it fits so that it can be readily put into
or removed from its position.
In order to convert the point from a moveable point to a spring point the spring
bolt F is removed and a wedge or filling piece is inserted as shewn by dotted lines
at 62 in one or other (as required) of the two dovetailed recesses c in the hollow of the
stationary casting (. of the point the said recesses being on opposite sides and near
the root or butt end a³ of the tongue. When the wedge 62 is inserted in one or other
of the recesses c the end a of the tongue will normally press against the opposite side

page_text: of the groove in which the tongue works. The wedge 62 may be housed when out of
use in one of the dirt boxes B in which projections may be cast to receive it. The
covers d of the dirt boxes have downwardly projecting lugs or flinges d² which when
in position on the dirt boxes as shewn bear against the heads of the guide bolts E and
keep the said bolts in place. The spring bolt F is similarly retained in position by
the projection on the cover d hearing against a projection on the bolt passing
through an opening in the casting into the dirt box Das shewn in Figure 2ª which is
a horizontal section on the line X X Fig. 1. When the dirt box covers are removed
the bolts E and F may be readily withdrawn and replaced as required.
My improvements in stationary points consist in forming on or fixing to the inside
of the tread or on the opposite side of the groove of the tramway rail near the point
of the tongue A a swell G as shewn in figures 5 and 7 so curved as to direct the
wheels of the vehicles travelling thereover onto the rails on which they are required to
travel. The said swell is curved gradually from the side of the groove in the rail so
that the strain on the wheels when passing in contact with it is very slight and the
wheels are directed so as not to strike the end a of the tongue which is the weakest
part of the point on to which the wheels are directed. To prevent jarring when the
wheels run on to the tongue A. the groove of the rail near the end a of the tongue
may be reduced in depth or a swell may be formed in the bottom of the groove as
shewn by dotted line at g¹ Figure 6 for the flanges of the wheels to run on or I make
a gentle swell upon the tread of the rails as shewn at g at the part just before the
end a is reached so that when the wheels are entering the point they will be gently
raised and then lowered onto the tongue A without concussions. These parts may be
in one casting with the point or the parts subject to wear may be removeable as
illustrated in the drawings.
When I use removeable pieces I may make the swells G in duplicate one on each.
side of the removeable piece as shewn at G and G2 Figures 8 and 9 so that the
removeable piece H may be reversed to bring the second swell G2 into position at the
inner side of the tread of the rail when the swell G becomes worn.
By the use of the swell G the usual drop off may be dispensed with and in cases
where the drop off is formed on a removeable fillet piece the fillet piece may be
removed and a fillet piece provided with the swell G be readily substituted therefore.
The removeable wearing parts may be connected to the casting so that they can be
removed without removing any part of the roadway by fixing screw nuts I in the
casting inserted from the side of the casting and screwing down into them from above
bolts K (preferably of phosphor bronze) the said bolts passing through the renewable
piece H into the said nuts I. In order to enable the vehicles to be run on to the
track upon which they do not normally run I may make a recess h (Figure 9) in the
bottom of the groove of either point at the part close to the end a of the tongue A
and in this recess I insert a removable guiding or point piece L (Figures 8 and 9)
against which the flanges of the vehicles bear to guide them into the track upon
which they do not normally run for example when a car runs in the direction of the
arrow (Figure 8) its wheels would normally run in the groove k but when the piece L
is placed in the recess h the wheels are diverted thereby into the groove l.
Although I have described and represented in Figures 1, 2, 2 and 4 a spring
bolt for preventing the movable tongue A remaining at half distance in the groove
of the points yet I wish it to be understood that I make no special claim to
such bolt.
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
First. In moveable-points for tramways a spring bolt situated in longitudinal line
with and in front of the end of the moveable tongue and having a rounded or
V-shaped end to admit of the end of the tongue-pussing from either side to the other
prevent i it from remaining at half-distance-or-in-centre-of-groove substantially as
and for the purpose hereinbefore described with reference to Figures 1 and 2 of the
necompanying drawings.

I WILLIAM EDWARD KENWAY General Manager of the Birmingham and Midland
Tramways Limited of 34 Summer Row Birmingham in the County of Warwick 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:-
My Invention has for its object to provide cheap and efficient points for tramway's
which are simple in construction and not liable to get out of order and can be removed
or repaired without removing part of the roadway and give casy travelling of the
vehicles thereover.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings of which
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section Figure 2 a plan and Figures 3 and 4 transverse
sections (taken respectively on the line 1. 2 and 3. 4 of Figure 2) illustrating my
invention with reference to movable and spring points. Figure 5 is a plan, Figure 6
a side elevation and Figure 7 a transverse section (taken on the line 5. 6. Figure 5)
illustrating my improvements in stationary points and Figures 8 and 9 are respectively
a plan and transverse section (taken on the line 7. 8. Figure 8) shewing a modification
according to my Invention.
Referring to Figures 1 to 4 A is the movable tongue of the point which tongue is
made of the usual wedge shape but has its bearing part beneath not (as is usual)
continuous but of a waved or equivalent figure (as shewn clearly in Figure 1) so as
to form passages B between it and the casting (. in which it moves to reduce

dinal line with and in front of the extreme end or point a of the tongue A a spring f
or its equivalent pressing this bolt outwards but the end of the said bolt allowing the
point a of the tongue to pass from either side to the other the said bolt F preventing
the tongue remaining half open by accident so that when the said bolt F is used a
vehicle is not liable to be thrown off the rails. The position of the spring bolt is very
favourable to its not becoming inoperative by dirt or ice. The butt end a² of the
tongue A is held firmly between projections bor in a recess in the stationary casting
between which projections or into which recess it fits so that it can be readily put into
or removed from its position.
In order to convert the point from a moveable point to a spring point the spring
bolt F is removed and a wedge or filling piece is inserted as shewn by dotted lines
at 62 in one or other (as required) of the two dovetailed recesses c in the hollow of the
stationary casting C. of the point the said recesses being on opposite sides and near
the root or butt end a² of the tongue. When the wedge 2 is inserted in one or other
of the recesses c the end a of the tongue will normally press against the opposite side

page_text: of the groove in which the tongue works. The wedge & may be housed when out of

covers d of the dirt boxes have downwardly projecting lugs or flanges which when
in position on the dirt boxes as shewn bear against the heads of the guide bolts E and
keep the said bolts in place. The spring bolt F is similarly retained in position by
the projection d² on the cover bearing against a projection f³ on the bolt passing
through an opening in the casting into the dirt box D as shewn in Figure 2" which is
a horizontal section on the line X X Fig. 1. When the dirt box covers are removed
the bolts E and F may be readily withdrawn and replaced as required.
My improvements in stationary points consist in forming on or fixing to the inside
of the tread or on the opposite side of the groove of the tramway rail near the point
of the tongue A a swell G as shewn in figures 5 and 7 so curved as to direct the
wheels of the vehicles travelling thercover onto the rails on which they are required to

wheels run on to the tongue A. the groove of the rail near the end a of the tongue
may be reduced in depth or a swell may be formed in the bottom of the groove as
shewn by dotted line at g' Figure 6 for the flanges of the wheels to run on or I make
a gentle swell upon the tread of the rails as shewn at y at the part just before the
end a is reached so that when the wheels are entering the point they will be gently
raised and then lowered onto the tongue A without concussions. These parts may be
in one casting with the point or the parts subject to wear may be removeable as
illustrated in the drawings.
When I use removeable pieces I may make the swells G in duplicate one on each
side of the removeable piece as shewn at G and G Figures 8 and 9 so that the
removeable piece H may be reversed to bring the second swell G2 into position at the
inner side of the tread of the rail when the swell G becomes worn.
By the use of the swell G the usual drop off may be dispensed with and in cases
where the drop off is formed on a removeable fillet piece the fillet piece may be

which they do not normally run for example when a car runs in the direction of the
arrow (Figure 8) its wheels would normally run in the groove but when the piece L
