RAILROAD-SPIKE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 28, 1913.
Application filed September 12, 1911. Serial No. 648,844.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN 0. Dinner, a citizen of the United States, residing at Taylors Store, in the county of Franklin and State of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Railroad- Spikes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain novel improvements in spikes for railway rails.
In carrying out my invention it is my purpose to construct a spike, primarily intended for use upon railway rails, having an upper portion enlarged and formed with substantially V-shaped extensions arranged upon the sides of the reduced center depending portion, the said upper portion being thus rendered stronger than the dependimg portion therefore offering a greater resistanee for the withdrawal of the spike or the accidental movement thereof due to the rolling stock passing over the rails.
I also aim to provide a spike of this class having a central reduced portion extending below the enlarged portion, the sides of the enlarged port-ions being sharpened to form wedge members, and the said wedges, when driven within the tie, being adapted to force the material of the tie downwardly so as to force the said material tightly against the sides of the reduced portion so that the material centered by the wedge shaped sides of the enlarged portion of the spike will be packed around the reduced extension of F the spike to prevent the accidental withdrawal of the spike.
lVith the above recited objects, and others of a similar nature in view, the invention resides in the novel construction of spikes hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings,-Figure 1 is a side ele\'a tion of a spike constructed in accordance with the present invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the same.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, the numeral 1 designates a spike proper. The spike is provided with the usual head 2, which overlies the front face of the said spike. The upper portion of the spike, di rectly below the head, is of a width greater than that of the ordinary spikes, as is the head of the said spike. This enlarged portion, designated by the numeral 3, is, however, of a thickness corresponding with the thickness of a centrally arranged depending portion 4. The portion 4 is of course integrally formed with the spike proper, and the said depending portion adjacent its lower edge is beveled in opposite directions. as designated by the numerals 5 so as to provide an entering point for the spike. The enlarged portion 3 has its side walls formed with substantially V-shaped wedge extremities having their points terminating centrally of the sides of the extension 4-, and at a suitable distance away from the entering points 5 of the said central portion or extension.
By an arrangement as above described, it will be noted that the enlarged portion 3 being of a greater width than the extending portion 4 is of course of a greater strength than the said extension, and that the wedge shaped portion 6 of the said enlarged portion 3 divides the material within which the spike is inserted and forces the said divided material tightly against the sides of the extension 4 so as to firmly embed all of the portions of the spike within the said material, and to prevent the accidental removal of the spike.
Having thus fully described the said invention. what I claim is:
.A. spike having a substantially rectangle lar body. said body being provided with a central depending. rectangular stem which has a substantially V-shaped end, and the sides of the body at its juncture with the stem being inclined inwardly toward each other and integrally connected with the said stem.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
