ferred embodiment of my invention in order
to impart a full, clear, and exact understand-
ing of the said embodiment. I do not desire,
however, to be understood as confining my-
5 self to such specific construction and relative
arrangement of parts, as such changes or
modifications may be made in practice as
fairly fall within the scope of my invention
as claimed.
to While I have described a set-screw, which
is the preferred means for engaging a wheel
on the rail at the opposite side of the wheel
with reference to the side of the rail engaged
by the body of my novel device, I desire it
15 distinctly understood that any suitable means
may be employed for the first-mentioned pur-
pose without involving departure from the
scope of my invention.
Having described my invention, what I
20 claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
is-
1. A device for the purpose described, pro-
vided with means arranged to engage a rail at
one side thereof, and means arranged to en-
25 gage the lower portion of the rim of a wheel
on the rail at the opposite side of the wheel,
with reference to the side of the rail engaged'
by the first-mentioned means.
2. A device for the purpose described, com-
30 prising a body having means for engaging a
rail at one side thereof, and means carried by
and adjustable with respect to the body and
arranged to be set against a wheel on the rail
at the opposite side of the wheel, with refer-
35 ence to the side of the rail engaged by the
means on the body.3. A device for the purpose described, com-
prising a body having arms arranged to en--
gage a rail at one side thereof, and means car-
ried by and adjustable with respect to the 40
body and arranged to be set against a wheel
on the rail at the opposite side of the wheel,
with reference to the side of the rail engaged
by the arms of the body.
4. A device for the purpose described, com- 45
prising a body having a threaded-aperture and
arms arranged to engage a rail at one side
thereof, and a set-screw bearing in the thread-
ed aperture of the body and arranged to be
turned against a wheel on the rail at the op- 50
posite side of the wheel, with reference to
the side of the rail engaged by the arms of the
body.
5. A device for the purpose described, com-
prising a body having a threaded aperture and 55
also having angular arms at its ends and
hooks at the terminals of said arms, and a
set-screw bearing in the threaded aperture of
the body.
6. The combination of a railway-rail, a 6o
wheel thereon, and a device engaging one
side of the head of the rail and also engaging
the lower part of the rim of the wheel at the
opposite side of the wheel, with reference to
the.engaged side of the rail-head. 65
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my hand in presence of two subscribing wit-
nesses.
