UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSEPH CHAMBERS, IR, OF HILLMAN, MAINE.
RAIL rm AND BRAGE.
Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed August 5, 1909. Serial No. 511,444
Patented Aug. 15, 1911.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH CHAMBERS, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Hillman, in the county of Aroostook, State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rail Ties and Braces; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whicli it appertains to make and use the same.
The invention relates to a rail brace and tie.
The'primary object of the invention is the provision of a device of this class in which railway .rails will be securely supported along a track bed and prevented against displacement and spreading.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a rail brace and tie in which the railway rails will be properly supported throughout a track bed and the treads of which will be. reinforced at intervals so as to overcome the possibility of the same splitting while in use.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a deviceof this character which is simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and efficient in operation and inexpensive in the manufacture.
With these and other objects in'view the invention consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as Will be hereinafter more fully described, illustratcd in the accompanying drawings, which disclose the preferred form of embodiment of the invention, and as pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.
In the drawings :Figure 1 is a top plan view of a rail brace and tie constructed in accordance with the invention showing rails supported thereby. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary side elevation. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view.
Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawings.
In the drawings, the numeral 5 designates railway rails of the ordinary construction having bases 6, web portions 7, and treads 8, and the bases of these rails are mounted upon a metallic plate 9, which may be disposed directly upon the track bed although in this instance it. is shown superimposed blocks receive upon a wooden cross tie 10, which is of the usual construction. The plate 9', near opposite ends thereof has rising therefrom brace blocks 11, the same being formed int gral with said plate. Each of said brace blocks is formed with a recess 12;, in its inner face to receive the outside portion of the base 6, of the rail and to permit the brace block to lie contiguous to the web portion of the rail.
At the top of the brace blocks 11, are lugs.
13, which are disposed a distance removed from the inner faces of the blocks to form seats 14 for the outermost edges of the treads 8 of the rail. These bearing seats 14, of the the outside .portion of the tread 8, to prevent the same from splitting which excessively loaded cars travel on the 1'31 s.
The plate 9 is formed near'its outerehd with a downwardly outwardly inclined projection 18 which is driven into the tie on which the plateis placed and acts not only to secure the plate on the tie but to also brace the plateand prevent it from being moved outwardly under the stress of passing train-s. Securing spikes 17 are also employ'cd to secure the plate on the tie, as .shown.
Therails 5 are prevented from outward spreading by the brace blocks 11-, and the treads of said rails are reinforced and pre-- vented from splitting by the lugs 13, formed atthe tops of the brace blocks.
What is claimed 'iS':--
The herein described brace comprising'a plate having a brace-block extending up wardly therefrom, the inner face of which conforms. to the rail below the ball thereof, a lug forming an integral part of the bracebloclc and contacting with the ball of the rail. said block having a bearing portion extending beyond the rail bearing portion of said plate, an inclined spike forming an integral part of the plate adjacent to the outer end thereof and beyond the said brace-'
