COMBINED TIE-PLATE AND RAIL-FASTENER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 11, 1911.
Patented Nov. 21, 1911.
Serial No. 613,693.
of a road bed in such a manner as to secure the flanges of railway rails thereto.
It is an object of the invention, among other things to provide a railway rail fastener or.chair which is providedwith an adjustable securing portion adapted to accommodate itself to different widths of rails and to be set closely against the flanges of the rails no matter what their width may be.
In the accompanying drawing forming a 'part of this specification Figure 1 is aperspectlve v1ew of the lmproved ra1l securing tie plate, a portion of the rail being shown as seated therein and a portion of the support of the supporting tie being illustrated below the plate. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view through the tie plate or rail fastener.
The features of the invention will nowbe more fully described in detail reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in Which 1 indicates a base or chair plate, 2 an overhanging rail engaging flange formed integral therewith. The base plate 1 is made of ample width to oifer a firm support to a railway rail and near one edge is provided with spike receiving apertures 3, while near the other edge, the said base plate is formed with elongated spike receiving apertures 4, the said apertures being elongated transversely with respect to said plate. The plate 1 is also provided upon one of its edges with a curved recess as 5 extending longitudinally of the plate and being concave in shape. Fitting in this con cave recess or depression 5 is an adjustable securing plate 6 having its under surface provided with a convex curvature as at 7 extending longitudinally of the securing plate. The said plate 6 is also formed with spike receiving apertures 8 which register with the elongated apertures 4. An overhanging rail engaging flange 9 is formed upon the inner edge of the said plate 6. The curved seating of the said plate 6 permits of the same being rocked in the concaved recess or depression 5 to be made to fit closely the flange of the railroad rail as 10.
It will be observed that when the rail is narrow the plate 6 can be rocked inwardly until its'inner abutting edge 11 rests against the flange of the rail 10 and the elongated aperture 4 permits of the spikes for securing the rail 6, being driven so as to hold the said plate 6 tightly against the edge of the rail flange. Vith a wider rail, the plate 6 cannot be rocked inwardly so far but will accommodate itself perfectly to thedimensions of the said rail.
In employing the rail fastener or chair the rail is inserted beneath thefiXed flange 2 upon one side, and allowed to rest flatly upon the upper surface of the said base plate 1. The adjustable securing plate upon the other side is then put in place and pushed snugly forward against the edge of the rail flange after which the spikes are driven therein to hold the parts in place. The operation is substantially the same in using either form of the device illustrated.
What we claim is 1- A railway securing device for rails com prising a chair plate having a rail engaging flange formed thereon, one edge of said plate being provided with a curved depression, and having elongated spike apertures formed therein, and a flange engaging securing plate provided with spike apertures and having a curved under surface adapted to adjustably fit upon the curved depression of the chair plate.
In witness that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto subscribed our names this 6th day of March, 1911.
