T0 alt whom/ it ,may oncem l Be it known tha I, FRANCIS Il'. VVRIqir'r, a citizen bf the UnitedStates, 'residing at New Decatur, in the county of--Morgan. State f Alabama, hate invented' certain new and useful 'Improvements in Metallic Railway-'- Ties; and-Ido hereby declar the'foll'owing to bea 'full, clear, andvexact description of' the invention, such as will' enable others make-.and use 'thevsame' .The presenthmvention- 1s dlrected to 1mprov'ements 1n metallic rallway ties, and has lskilled inthe art to which it apprtains to forits object to 'so construct a device of ,this
character that the 'saine will'vbe 'extremely strong, and at the saine time 'will be suiiiciently light so th `t;it'can be handled easily.
'A'further obe t of the i vention is to so .construct a'tie of this type that the tails can .be easily and quickly fastened thereto.
With these and other objects in view, this lnventlo 'resides in the novel features of const ruc ion, formation, combination and' ar 'rangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully fdescribeii, claimed `and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
iguxe 'g1 is a top-'plan view. Fig..2 isY From the foregoing description it will be si e"elevation. 'Fig'. 3 is an end view. Fig. 4 'is a sectional viewv .on line44 of Fig. 1. Fig.' 5' isa similar v iew on ine.5.-5 of Fig.
1.'v Fig. 6 is a similar view on line 6'-6of' Fi 1,. l
eferring to the drawing, the nuineral 1 designatesy the body of the tie, which is rec- Avertical partition 4 which' extends longitu-l tangular in cross section, said body' being molded hollow so as to impart the necessary lightness thereto and at the sa'me time produce .a tie which isv exceedingly durable.
.Eachyside of the body l is provided centrally lwith an opening 2 so that the Sandor similar .material used in forming the chambers 3 during the chambers 3-3. which are divided by the dinally of the body. The body member has its ends integrally formed with sections v5, said sections being formedlwith recesses G, w-hich are disposed in oblique relation so that therelwill be a recess upon each side of -each rail. The said sections 5 are further rovided with transverse cleats 7, whicl are esigned to engage the outer'edges of1 the rail anges so. as toI prevent lateral movement thereof in outward directions. These sections 5 are formed with chambers 5 with vopenings the casting may be .withdrawn from 2 through which the sand used in casting may 8 are' provided. and are driven into the recesses 6 so that the. spikes 9 may be driven 'into the blio'cks with their heads in ,engagement with' the rail .iange base,thus securely fastening the rails to the tie. u
The base of each recess is rovided .with
'an opening 10, which i's for t e purpose of permitting a. spike to be removed in case the same could not be pulled 1n the usual manner, 'it being of course obvious that to re- 'move a spike through one of the openings 10 'it will be necessary to dri-ve one ofthe same through 'the Vblock 8. The ends of the body 1 are hollowed, as' at 12', thus lightening the tie and at the, same time giving it the proper be withdrawn. Wooden` blocks length. Transverse slots 13 :.re formed. in.
theupper walls of the hollows 12 and h ve notch'es 14 formed in their Aouter wa ls, which maybe engaged -by'picks or' other tools sothat it may be pulled properly under the rails.
To prevent lateral sh'f-t'in .of the, tie in respect to the road-bed or bal ast the bottom is provided with aplurality of transverselyl disposed corrugations 15.
seen that a metallic tie has been provided which is. .constructed in such a'manner that the rails may be easily and lquickly applied' lformed therein, wooden blocks insertible in the recesses for receiving the usual spikes to hold the rails upon the tie with their outer base flanges engaging the cleats,
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in the-presence of two witnesses.
