in/0mm FRANK HOLIK, 0F PRAGUE, OKLAHOMA.
RAILWAY-RAIL TIE AND FASTENER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed July 25, 1913.
Patented Dec. 16, 1913.
Serial No. 781,238.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK HoLIK, citizen of the United States, residing at Prague, in the county of Lincoln and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railway-Rail Ties and Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in railway ties and rail fastenings, and has for one of its objects to provide a simply constructed device whereby the rail may be securely held in position and tightened in event of becoming loose.
Another object of the invention is to provide a simply constructed tie formed of a combination of concrete and metal and with a novel means for securing the rails to the tie.
lVith these and other objects in View the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claim, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
Figurel is a side elevation partly in section of one of the improved devices and the rail fastener. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the structure shown in Fig. 1.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
The improved tie is represented as a whole at 10, and is formed with a concrete body of the usual size and proportions, which is generally about 8 ft. long, 6 in. thick and 8 in. wide, but these dimensions may be varied as required, and it is not desired therefore to limit the invention to any specific construction of the body portion of the tie.
Embedded in the upper face of the tie is a metal plate 11 which extends beyond the point where the rails engage the tie and with clown-turned ends 12 extending for a distance into the material of the tie. The rails, indicated at 13, are supported by the plate 11, and the latter is provided with threaded apertures 14 at each side of the rail to receive threaded pins 15. The body of the tie is provided with openings 20 extending entirely therethrough and registering respectively with the threaded apertures of the plates 11 and 1S and into which the pins 15 extend. The apertures 20 thus provide means for the escape of any foreign matter which may pass through the apertures of the bearing plates. Each of the members 15 is provided with an enlargement 16 at the upper end which forms a flange for engaging over the outer edges of the flanges of the rails as shown in Fig. 1. Each of the studs is provided with a wrench receiving projection 17 at its upper end whereby the studs may be actuated.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
The combination with a railway tie having a concrete body, of a plate embedded in the upper face of the tie and with downturned terminals engaging in the material of the body, said plate having threaded apertures and said tie body having recesses registering with the apertures of the plate, and threaded pins engaging in said threaded apertures of the plate and in the recesses of the tie and formed with laterally enlarged heads adapted to bear over the flanges of railway rail when disposed upon the plate and the tie.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
FRANK HOLE [n s] lVitnesses:
FRANK KUBICEK, Jr., FRANK KUBIOEK.
