Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 24:, 1911-.
Application filed July 3, 1911. Serial No. 636,765.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLns WV. SMITH,
a citizen of the United States, residing at North Balt1more, in the county of W odd and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad- Ties; 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 which it appertains to This invention relates to ties for use in sists in the novel Construction and combination'of' the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure l is a side view of a tie constructed according to this invention, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the tie. Fig. 3 1s a cross-section through the tie.' a
-A is a trough-shaped bar of thin sheet metal, the bottom. 2 of which rests on the ground. Two trough-shaped brackets 3 arearranged inside the bar A in a relatively inverted position, and their flat topst are arranged below the tops of the flanges of the said bar. The brackets 3 are secured to the flanges of the bar A by rivets 5.
Buffer-blocks 6 of hard wood or other relatively soft material are arranged on top of the brackets 3, and the tops of these blocks project-above the level of the tops is arranged onthe bufler blocks 6, and 10 are bolts which pass through holes in the blocks 6, bar 7 and through retaining washer-plates 8. These washer-plates 8 have notches 9 which engage with the flanges of the track rails. The bolts 8 are inserted from below, and operate to secure the track rails to the bar 7 and the butterblocks. The buffer-blocks (leaden the jar of a train passing over the track rails, said rails being held clear of the flanges of the' bar A' by the buffer-blocks.
This tie is manufactured at a small cost and is practically indestructible.
What I claim is:
A railroad tie, comprising a troughshaped metallic bar, trough-shaped brackets secured to the flanges of the said bar in a relatively inverted 7 position bufi'er-blocks resting on the tops of the brackets and projecting above the flanges of the bar. a flat of the flanges, of the'bar A. A flat-bar 7
