RAILWAY-TIE PLATE.

Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented J une 25, 1912.
Application ledDecember 20, 1910. Serial No. 598,327.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES S'. FOX, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Jackson, in the county of Jackson and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Railway-Tie Plates, of which the following is a specification.
rlhis invention relates to railway tie plates and the object of the invention is the provision of a simple, cheaply constructed and eflicient tie plate which is provided with means to engage the tie and to prevent lateral displacement thereof and of the rail which is seated thereupon.
A further object of the invention is the provision of means for preventing lateral displacement of the rail upon the tie plate and for producing said means in such a manner as to form a guide-way for a rail plate upon which the rail rests and which covers and protects the tie plate from the elements.
Further objects of the invention will appear as the following specific description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this application and in which:
Figure l is a perspective view of the tie plate. Fig. 2 is a similar view looking at the bottom thereof. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the rail plate. Fig. 4; is a sectional view through the rail showing the tie plate and other parts in end elevation.
Referring more particularly to the draw# ing 1 represents the tie plate, 2 the rail plate, 3 the rail and t the spikes which hold the rail in position upon t-he tie plate and assistl the same in preventing lateral displacement of the rail. The tie plate comprises a single sheet of material having its edges notched at 5 and turned over as at 6 to form retaining flanges 7 which are arranged parallel with the plate and have the edges of the separate flanges separated suficiently to permit the rail base to properly enter between the same. These flanges form grooves 8 in which is seated a rail plate 2 having apertures 10 formed therein adapted to register with the notches 5 so as to permit the passage of the spikes 4. The intermediate portion of the plate l is formed with a pair of downwardly project-ing ribs 11 and l2- which are produced by striking up the metal out of the plate in such a form that angular projections are produced which may be readily pressed into the tie 12. These ribs form apertures in the plate which have their rear ends in register wit-h the apertures l() in the plate 2 and with the notches 5 in the flanges 7. The rail plate is of course reversibly mounted and therefore may be turned end for end or transferred from one side of the track to the other so as to accommodate any wear upon one side of the curve.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is l. A device of the class described comprising a tie plate having downwardly projecting ribs punched out of the plate and forming apertures, means formed on the tie plate for preventing lateral movement of the rail, said means forming grooves, and a rail wear plate removably mounted in said grooves and having spike receiving openings adapted to register with the apertures.
2. A device of the class described comprising an integral wear plate, angular extending parallel flanges formed upon said plate and having notches therein, downwardlyT projecting tie engaging ribs struck up from the plate and forming apertures registering with the notches in the flanges, said ilanges forming grooves, and an apertured wear plate reversibly mounted in the grooves and having apertures to register with the apertures in the tie plate and with the notches in the flanges thereof, together with spikes passing through said notches and apertures to hold a rail seated upon the wear plate between the inner edges of the flanges.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JAMES S. FOX.
