To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM Klinrnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a "certain new and useful Improvements in Crossings, of which the. following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in crossings, and more particularly to an improved device for securing the boards or timbers between the rails, so asto prevent any possibility of the timbers being drawn upwardly by the suction of a passing train.
A further object is to provide improvements of this character which are simple and inexpensive in construction, but strong and durable in use. i a
With these and othertobjects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
. In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view illustrating my improvements. Fig. 2 is a view in longitudinal section on the line 2-2'of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is a view in cross section on the line 33 of Fig. '1. r
1,-1, represent the rails and 2are the timbers or planks secured to the ties 3 by nails or spikes 4:. At one end of the timbers, namely at the end thereof =whidh is first reached bythe train, my improved device is located, and consists of 'a'metal plate 5 which is secured at one edge over the timbers 2 by means of nails or spikes 4. The
other edge of "plate 5 is bent downwardly and confined between "1 al strips 6 and 7, the former having its ends positioned over the base flanges of the rails .1, 'an-ifihe latter extended under the rails, so that any suction ,of the train cannot possibly pull the timbers 2 away from the tieswhen the parts are secured together. Strips 6 and 7 and plate 5 have registering openings for the reception of bolts 8 .Whlch are secured in place by nuts 9 to-effectually clamp the parts together, yet permit a ready assemblage of the strips above and below the plate 5 and in proper engagement with the base flanges of the rails. Philadelphia, in the county-of Philadelphia When the crossing is of a. length to require more than one section of plank or timher, 2', the adjacent ends of thetimbers or is to. be understood that the overlying tongues will be upon'the sections nearest plate 5, so that the suction of the 'train will lie-resisted by the overlapping or overlying connection.
' Various slight changes might be'made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself tothe precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as "fairly fall withinthe spirit andscope of the appended claims.
planks are 'rabbeted as shown at 10, and it Having thus described my invention,- what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A crossing comprising timbers positioned between the rails, a plate secured at oneedge upon the said timbers, and a strip secured to said plate and at ita ends projected under the rails,- sub'stantially as described.
2. A crossing comprising a plurality of timbers secured to the ties between the rails,
a metal plate having one edge positioned upon and secured to the end of the timbers the direction of the ,trains approach, and
strips secured to the plate at its other edge and engaging respectlvely above and below the base flanges of the rails, substantially as described.
said plates having registering openings bolts in said openings, and nuts secured to said bolt and clamping the stri s and plate 3. A crossing comprisinga ,pluralitpof' together, substantially as descri ed.
r; in the direction of the trains approach, strips secured to the plate at its other edge ing tongue'and groove engagement at their 10 ends, substantially as described,
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WILLIAM KEFFER.
4. A crossing comprising a'plurality of timbers secured to the ties between the rails, a metal plate having one edge positioned. upon and secured to the end of the timbers Witnesses:
JOSEPHINE ORLEMANN, KATE ORLEMANN.
and engaging respectively above and below the base flanges of the rails, and said himi bers comprising asplurality ofsections hay-1 Copies of this patent may be obtained fafii cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of l'aie'ntsl Washington, D. C. a
