Jian-Prnt;nA
may-concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN W. KNunIoir, a4 citizen of the United States, residing at Chif' cago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and, use-1 ful Improvements in Tie-Plates, of which` the following is a specication.
The object of my invention is to provide means for fastening railway track vrails to 5 the ties in such a manner that the larger part of thework may be performed in the,V preparation of the ties and before the ties are shipped to 4the location where the track; is to be laid. In the preliminary prepara-L tionof the -ties according to my invention,- the parts attachedto the ties are adjusted to the gageI of the track, thusfurther de-l place wherethe track is laid.. vOther and further objects of my invention .will appear from the following description accompanying drawings, in whichi Figure 1 is a sectional view through thef fastening devices and tie plate, the sectionV lying in line parallel to the track rail. Fig.; 2 is a perspective `view of a clip' forming part of the fastening device.v Fig. 3 is aj one end of the tieplate. Fig. 4 is a view of the entire device assembled,uthe view showing a section transverse`to the track rail. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the entire device assembled, and showing its relation to a? track rail. Fig, 6 is a sectional view', of a? modification. v
In the application of my improved device, separate means are provided Afor attaching; the tie plate to the tie, and for attaching the-g rail to .the tie plate, the former operation; being preferably performed at the time the;
tie is prepared for use, leaving only theoperation of attaching the rail to the tie plate to be performed at the place where'- the Itrack is being laid. The tieplate 1` is adapted, as usual, to lie uponA the upper surface of the tie beneath the track rail. hAd-g jacent the ends, the tie plate is provided@ with spike holes 2, whereby the tiel plate:l may be secured to the tie before the latter; is shipped t0 the lace where the track 1s being laid. It will e obvious, however, that after the shipment of the ties. A Adjacent each end the tie plate 1s pro-z -vided with an upwardly projecting boss 3,;

surface of the boss 3. Each Patented Dec.
'said boss forming a recess in the bottom of the tie plate. These `bosses may be consid# ered a'sbeing formed by ,defiecting the body of the tie plate 1 upwardly vertically at 4, thus raising the upper horizontal wall of the boss 3 above the remainder of the base ofthe tie plate. The boss` `3 extends in wardly from the end of the tieplate, and its upper wall is provided with a slot 5 vwhich extends inwardly from the end of the tie plate. The height of the boss 3 and the width of the slot 5 arel suiicient to permit a bolt 6 to be adjusted, as shown in Figs. 1, 4 and 5, the head 7 of the bolt lyingvbetween theupper wall ofthe boss and the tie, and
the stem of the bolt passing through the slot 5. "The inner ends 8 of the bosses 3 are spaced apart sufiiciently toalford `a bearing for the base ofthe rail 9, and the two tie plates affixed to the ends of the tie are spaced apart a distance equal to the gage of the track.
In order to secure the rails in place, clips l0 are provided. The form of these clips is clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 4, each of them being provided with downturned ends 11 and 12, the end 11 being designed to rest upon the top of the boss upon the tie plate, and the end 12 to rest upon the upper surface of the base of the rail. The projections 11 and 12 are so arranged that the central part of the clip is spaced from the upper of the clips 10 is provided vwith 'a bolt hole 13.
In the operation of tracklaying, the ties 14, with the tie plates 1 secured to them,
preferably by means of screw spikes 15, are
laid upon the road-bed, and. the rails laid in position upon tie plates. The tie plates having been properly positioned upon the ties, the correct gage will be secured merely by placing the rails in the spaces provide for them between the bosses on the tie plates. The clips l0, with the bolts 6 alreadylin place, and held in place by their nuts 16, are then used for the purpose of holding the railsin position. The clips 10, with their bolts `6 and nuts 16 -assembled,1nay be placed in position, as illustrated 'in Figs. 1, 4 and 5, without removing the nuts 16 from the bolts 6. If the nut be turned up adjacent the upper end of the bolt, thuspermittingthe bolt to project a considerable distance below the clips 10, the stem ofthe bolt 6 can be slipped into the slot 5in the upper wall of theboss 3 with,the head -7.of the bolt lying beneath said wall. After the clip with its bolt is slipped in position in this manner,
the nut 16 may be tightened, this completproviding the bolts with square `or other non-circular heads which enga e the innerv surface 17 of the sidewalls o the bosses. If the bolt heads 7 be Amade square, as indicated upon the drawing, they may b e slipped into place with t eir shortest dimension crosswise of the groove formed by the interior of the boss. Their longer d1- mension, the diagonal of the square h ead of the bolt, being greater than the distance between the side Jwalls 17, rotation of the bolts, whenthe nuts 16 are turned will be prevented.
In the modified form of construction which I have illustrated in Fig. 6, instead of using a nut with the bolt 6, I have made it with aslot 22 and a tapered key 20 may be driven into'this slot to fasten the parts together. In-this case the bolt is made with va square section and the key 20 is made malleable so that its end 21 can be hammered down as shown in the drawings to keep it from loosening orl becoming withdrawn.
