( 11, ,4 TTOHNEY ATEN OFIQQ MEANS FOR SUPPORTING RAILROAD-RAILS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 18, 1913.
Patented J an. 6,1914.
Serial No. 755,096.
To all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, BENJAMIN F. vVisn, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Means for Supporting Railroad-Rails, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to means for supporting the rails of railroads, and the obj ect of the invention is to provide such means which will. necessitate the use of a smaller number than heretofore of wooden cross ties, and which will be of great resiliency and durability.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of a railway constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail plan view thereof; Fig. 3 is a vertical cross sectional view thereof.
Referring to the drawing, 1 indicates the rails, of usual form and size, supported upon fillers which may be of wood, as shown at 2, or of concrete, as shown at 5, and contained within somewhat deep channel-irons 3, either close together or spaced any distance apart. The length of the channel-irons is a fraction of the length of the rails, being here shown as one-third of said length. Said channelirons are supported upon plates l, resting on cross ties 6, and secured to said cross ties by bolts 7. The channel-irons are secured in place on said plates by being received in recesses 8 in walls 9 formed integral with the plates. The rails are secured a ainstdis placement by means of fish plates 11 having flanges 12 secured to the sides of the channel-irons by bolts 13.
The above described construction is very advantageous, for, since the rails are not supported on, and secured to, the cross ties directly, but through the medium of the channel irons, a small number of cross ties, only three in the present instance, is required for each rail. Moreover, the rails being supported along their whole length by the fillers, which in turn are secured in the channelirons, such support is very firm and yet resilient.
I claim 1. In means for supporting railway rails, cross ties therefor, plates secured upon said cross ties, each having at both ends integral recessed walls and channel irons in said recesses to receive the respective rails.
2. In means for supporting railway rails, cross ties therefor, plates secured upon said cross ties, each having at both ends integral recessed walls, channel irons in said recesses to receive the respective rails, and fillers in said channel irons upon which the rails are adapted to rest.
3. In means for supporting railway rails, cross ties therefor, plates secured upon said cross ties and having integral recessed walls, channel-irons in said recesses, fillers in said channel-irons upon which the rails are adapted to rest, and fish plates for securing said rails to said channel-irons.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
BENJAMIN I IVISE.
