M ETALLIC 'RAI LWAY-TIE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 7 05,l5 2,'dated July 22, 1902. Application filed November 19, 1901. Serial No. 82,941. (No model.)
it consists of the novel construction, combina-- tion, and arrangement of parts hereinafter shown, described, and claimed.
Figure l is a perspective View of the complete tie with the rail mounted thereon. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the part of the tie, showing the clamp which is secured on each side of the base of the rail on each tie.
The tie consists of a hollow rectangular casting, consisting of the bottom l, which rests upon the earth or-ballast, and the parallel top 2, which is connected to the said bottom by means of the integral vertical sides 3. The ends of the tie are open, as shown, and the interior of the tie is unobstructed throughout its length, so that access may be readily had to any part of the inside of the tie.
It is intended that the rails rest directly upon the upper surface of the tie, as shown,
and through the bases of the rails on each side and form openings, and corresponding openings are formed through the top 2 of the tie, so that the bolts at may be readily passed through said openings to hold the rails in position. bolt, the upper surface of which is flat or horizontal and the lower surface of which is beveled and rests upon the inclined upper surface with the base of the rail. The purpose of this is' .to provide a flat bearing-surface for the head of the bolt at or nut, which rests upon the said washer.
6 indicates a metallic clampwhich is provided withan integral tongue or extension 7, which projects into an opening 8, formed in the top 2 of the tie. There is one of the openings near each end of the tie, so that one of said clamps may be provided for each rail.
of the tie, as shown.
I make use of a washer 5 on each The purpose of the tongue 7 is to prevent the clamp from being turned or otherwise displaced or dislocated when in position. The inner end of the under side of the clamp is cut out, as may be seen in Fig. 2, corresponding to the outer side of the base of therail, which rests in the said cut-out portion, whi1e the outer portion of the clamp rests upon the top 2 An opening is formed through the said clamp adjacent to the edge of the base of the rail, and a corresponding openingis formed-through the top of the tie to receive a bolt 9, which is passed, through said openings and is made rigid therein in any de- 1 sired orknown manner. This will prevent the displacement of the clamp, which may be drawn securely over the base of the rail to hold the latter in position.
A tie constructed as described forms a lasting support for the rails, and the sides of the tie being formed vertical and connected byintegral base or bottom 1 are very firm and do not readily yield to any force or lateral pressure. I
In some instances I may place the clamps on both sides of the rail, thereby rigidly supporting the rail and preventing it from shifting or becoming displaced.
I claim- A railway-tie consisting of the hollow rectangular casting having the bottom 1, and the parallel top 2-connected to the bottom by means of the integral'vertical sides 3, 3, said casting being open at theends; the clamp 6,
in presence oftwo witnesses.
