Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 24, 1911.
Application filed July 6, 1910. Serial No. 570,587.
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, FRANK S. JAMES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grass Valley, in the county of Nevada and State of California, have invented new anduseful Improvements in Tie-Plates, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to tie plates for railway rails and ties, and the object of the invention is to provide an improved device of this class with which is connected means for securing and holding the spikes in place.
With the above, and other objects in view, which will appear as the description progresses, the invention resides in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a section of a railway rail and tie, showing my improvement. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a tie and a section of the rail, also showing the improved tie plate. Fig. 3 isa plan view of the tie plate.
In the practice of my improvement I provide a tie plate 1, which is preferably of the form shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings and which is provided with longitudinally eX- tending spaced slits 3 adjacent its opposite ends. The plate 1 is preferably oblong and rectangular in formation and is composed of steel, wrought iron or other preferred material, and the spaced slit portions adjacent one end of the tie are arranged in pairs so as to form the spike retaining members or tongues 4 and 5. The slit portion adjacent the opposite end of the plate is preferably positioned central thereof or intermediate of the tie securing members 4: upon the opposite end of the plate. The slit central portion is adapted to have its metal bentupwardly and at an angle to provide a spike retaining member 6.
The numeral 7 designates the tie upon which the plate is adapted to be positioned. The openings formed by the slit portions of the spike retaining members are adapted to serve as recesses whereby headed spikes S are inserted within the said tie 7 and are adapted to contact the opposite sides of the base flange 9 of a rail 10. The slits may be of any preferred or desired length, so that the metal formed by the said spaced slits may be bent upwardly at any desired portion thereof so as to snugly engage the outer faces of the spikes and to have its upper portion bent directly over the head of the spike, thus preventing either the lateral or upward movement of the said spikes.
The tongues or retaining members are stamped out of the plate 1 so as to extend transverse to the rail and to snugly engage the outer or back faces of the spikes, against which they are curved and then curved over the heads. In this way the tongues prevent the spikes from spreading apart and hold said spikes against vertical movement, while the edges of the plate openings formed by cutting the tongues or retaining members prevent sidewise movement of the spikes. By stamping the tongues out of the plate 1 and bending said tongues into spike retaining positions, openings are formed in the plate which are adapted to receive spikes for engagement with rails of various widths, whereby the spikes can be held in snug engagement with the side edges of the rail bases.
From the above description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that I combine a tie plate and a locking device for the spikes, and that my invention is extremely simple in construction and operation and perfectly adapted to accomplish the results for which it is intended.
Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new is A spike retaining plate adapted to be inserted between a tie and a rail and formed with tongues constituting spike retaining members stamped therefrom, said tongues being disposed transverse to the rail and be ing bent upwardly to snugly engage the outer faces of the spikes and then over the heads of said spikes, thereby holding said spikes from spreading apart and from vertical movement, the edges of the openings formed by said tongues engaging the spikes to hold the same against sidewise movement, said openings being adapted to receive spikes for engagement with the side edges of rail bases of various widths.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
FRANK S. JAMES.
