it SPIKE.
Application filed May 15, 1914. Serial No. 838,782 e To aZZ whom it may concern:
jBe'it known that I, ARTHUR E. a citizen of the United States, residing at Vayne, in the county of Wayne and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSpikes, of whlch the following is a specification. This invention relates to an improved spike and the principal object of the invention is to provide an improved means for locking the spike ina tie, the spike be ng provided with a tapered pin receiving pocket in which a pin may be placed to spread the arms of the spike and lock the spike.
Another object of the invention is to so construct the pocket that the securing pin may be easily driven into place after the spike has been driven into the tie. p This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 HALLADA before the securing pin is inserted; Fig. 2 is a view simliar to Fig. 1 with the securing pin inserted; Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through the spike taken along the line 33 in Fig. 2 with the securing pin in place and shown in elevation; and Fig. {1, isa transverse sectional view taken along the line 1-4 of Fig. 1. I
' The spike 10-is split longitudinally to 11 which are provided with teeth 12 and have their lower end portions 13 tapered to form a penetrating point for the spike. Grooves are formed in the arms 11 thus forming a pocket 14: which tapers toward the penetrating endof the spike. It should be noted that by providing a groove instead of a slot a wall will be provided at the inner end ofthe pocket.
After the spikehas been driven into the tie to such an extent that the head 15 engages the rail base, the spreading finger or 16 is inserted in the pocket 14: and
driven k 11 will bes'pread to the position shown. in Fig. 2. It should'be notedthat the lower end 17 of this wedge is rounded so that the wedge may be incline and then easily ing longitudinally ofthe arms is a rear elevation of the spike down into the same so that the arms placed in the pocket at an driven downwardly to the position shown in Fig. 3. Ahead -18 s provided to permit the wedge to be s ecificat on of Letters Patent. t t dD 15,1914,
easily driven into place. i It should'be noted that byhaving the spike formed of resilient mater1al that a binding action "is caused which w1ll holdthe wedge; in place and prevent the lower end ofthewedge from slipping out offthe pocket 14. when. driving the wedge downwardly. If'it is desired to remove the-spike, the head 18. may be engaged by! a suitable. moving tool and the. wedge ,withdrawn'from thepocket. The-spike can then be ren' ovedby a suitable moving tool.
- What is claimed, is
1. A spik provided with alongitudinally extending slot forming armsfhaving their trating point andalso provided with griplower end portions tapered to form a peneping teeth, said arms having their adjoining edge portions provided with grooves extenda tapered pocket terminating short of the and forming.
penetratingpointand head of the spike, and e a spreading. wedgefittinginto said pocket and having its lower end portions curved to form a guiding surface: and its upper end portion provided with a head. o 2. A spike provided with a longitudinally extending slot forming arms, said arms having their rear facescut out to form a tapered pocket in said spike having an inner wall,"and a spreading wedge for fitting in said pocket and spreading said arms, one end of said wedge being rounded and the opposite end being provided with a head.
3. A spike provided with longitudinally extending arms out out to forma longitudinally extending pocket leading from one face.
of the spike, and a spreading wedge for fit ting in said pocket to spread said arms, the
inner wall of saidpocket adapted to guide the movement of said wedge when passing into the pocket.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
