Application filed July 22, 13M. Serial No. \S3$l,902.
b all 'who/172, it may fonce/m Ee it known that l, Arran M. BROADWELL, a citiren of the llnitod States of America, residing et Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railray-'llies, of which the following is a specitication7 roter-ence being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
rthis invention relates to railway ties and means for fastening rails thereto and more pzirticularly to a metal tie structure and clamping means whereby a reasonable amount oiE resiliency is retained in the tie and the rail is lirmly held in position without the use of bolts or like members which are liable to shear.
.lhe invention consists in the matters hereinaiiter set forth and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
ln the drawings, Figure l is a plan View of the tie und railway fastening embodying features of the invention; Fig. 2 is a View in longitudinal section therethrough; Fig. 3 is a View -in detail ot' an end portion of the ties shown in Figs. l and 2.
)is herein illustrated in preferred form, a tie l is toi-med of a sheet metal plate bent between its lateral margins 2 to form a subi-:uuually rectangular hollow body, the said margins being brought closely together but not in eontact, the interval allowing the body ot the tie to yield laterally to a slight degree. il pair of openings 3 are formed in the rail face ot each tie near the `end thereof through which clamps may be placed to engage rails ei crossing the ties. ln. preferred 'torni these clamps comprise with upwardl Y extendin slots adapted to embrace the tongue 7 of the tie between the opening and the superposed base t ot the rail. ,The clamps are secured in position by bolts 9 passing therethrough ani.. through the webct the rail. As the upper faces or' the` rail web are beveled and the notches are corres ondingly shaped, the bolt in drawing the c amps together forces them upwardly against the under face'of the upper part of the tie thereby holding the rail securely in posit-ion.
plates 5f (r bossesfl having In this construction, the rail body is adapted to be firmly seated in and held by road ballast of the ordinary character while the rails are held securely in position on the bearing surface of the tull width of the tie. Furthermore the rail load is carried down the vertical walls to the inturned margins which may yield slightly thereby giving the resilient eilect of the ordinary wood tie which prevents crystallization of the rail and loosening of the parts. In this construction the rails are quickly secured in place by means which are inexpensive and effective.
Obviously, changes may be made in the construction and arrai'igement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention and l do not wish to limit myself to any particular form or arrangement of parts.
What I claim is:
A. railway tie consisting of a sheet metal plate bent between its lateral margins into a hollow open ended rectangular body with said margins in parallel spacedI relation along one side thereof and with openings through' the opposite face of the body, and clamping members for securing rails against the outer face ot' the apertured side consisting of a pair of plates adapted to bear upwardly against the under face ofthe apertured side while bridging the opening thereof, Iand bosses on the plate extending through the opening and latelall Y slotted to engage the adjacent portions o the apertuied side and the base of a track rail supported thereon with bolts for drawing the' clamping members toward the middle of an "applied rail, the clamping members perimitting limited adjustment of the rail longitudinally of the tie.
In testimony whereof I alx my signa'- ture in presence of two witnesses.
