Specification of Letters Patent.
lr'atented @ct. 13, 1914s..
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CARL PETER, a citizen of Germany, residing at Medaryville, in the county of Pulaski, State of Indiana, have in- 5 vented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad-Ties; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements railway rail ties and fastenings.
I The principal object of the invention is to 1)IOid6 a substantial tie which will efiectively support rails from sliding or sagging.
Another object is to provide simple and novel rail holding means in connection with the tie.
' Other objects and advantages will be ap- ,20 parent from the following description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings. 7 In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a tie showing a pair of rails mounted thereon, the rails being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view through the center of the tie, at one end.
Referring particularly to the accompany 3O ing drawings, the tie includes a molded plastic body 10 in which are secured .the centrally disposed and longitudinally ex trading angle members 11. Disposed. between these angle members and bolted to the depending portions thereof are metal blocks 12 so spaced apart to receive a pair ol": rails 1 thereon. Formed vertically through web of the blocks are elongated openings 14. these openings being disposed at oppo- 40 site sides of the base of the rail. Secured -to the angle members 11 and depending therefrom are wire reinforcing elements 15, these elements being embedded in the concrete body. Arranged to be driven downwardly through the'openings 14 are the spikes 17,
site edge face of the spike, is a leaf spring 20, this spring bearmg against the oppo site end wall of the opening 14 so as to force the spike against the base of the rail. The opposite end wall, that is the wall nearest the rail, is formed with a vertical series of shoulders 52']. formed in opposite directions to the shoulders of the spike, and coiiperating with the spike shoulders to prevent the spike moving upwardly when it is once driven in.
It will thus be seen that Ihave provided an effective locking device for the railway spikes which will prevent their upward movement, and such a spike as will firmly hold the rail on the tie.
What is claimed is:
A railway tie con'iprising a body of concrete, longitudinal angle members secured in the body and disposed in parallel relation, blocks secured between the angle members and secured thereto at distances equal to the distance between the railway rails, said blocks having vertical openings formed therethrough, one end wall of each of the openings being formed with a vertical series of shoulders, and spike members arranged to be driven through the openings, said spike n'iembers having oppositely (lSPUSCtl shoulders for coiiperation with the shoulders of the walls of the openings, and resilient elements carried by the spike members for forcing the spike members into interlocking engagement with the shoulders of the openings.
in testimony whereof, I allix my signature, in the presence ol two witnesses.
