To aZZwhom itmag concern: 7 1
Be it known that we, JA'Mns Mom and H RVEY P. MOFARLAND, citlzens of the United States of America, residing at Bur lington, 1n the county of Des Molnesand btate of Iowa, have invented certain new and usei'ul Improvementsin a Combination Tie-Plate and Anticreeper, of which the following is a specification, reference being had for wedging the rail in firm engagement with the tie plate so as to prevent the rail from being accidentally detached from the rail plate.
With these and other objects in view, this invention consists of certain novel combinations, constructions, and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of one end of a rail road tie, showing the rail attached to the rail plate. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view through the rail, the tie plate also being shown in'section. Fi 3 is a top plan view of the tie plate. Fig. dis a section taken on line 1% of Fig. 3'. Fig. 5 is a section taken on line 55 of Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of a portion of the tie plate, showing the depending tie engaging lip formed thereon. Fig. 7 is a detailed per.- spective of the wedge plate used in connection with the present invention.
' Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals it will be seen that 1 designates the tie plate which is provided near one end thereof with an integral upstanding rail engaging jaw 2. The plate 1 is also provlded near the opposite end with an aur iliary jaw 3, arranged in spaced relation wlth respect to the jaw 2. The jaw 2 is provided with an inclined under face 4: having a pluralityof ribs 5 formed upon the under face thereof,
.which ribs extend from the outer edge 6 of j the jaw 2 to the inner wall 7 thereof, as clearly illustrated in Figs. 2 and 4 of the drawings. These ribs 5 are substantially V- shaped cross section, as clearly-illustrated i in Fig.5 of thedrawings so as to have a biting; action upon the base 8 of the rail 9 and therebyhold the rail against longitudinal movement with respect to the plate 1.
It shouldbe understood that the plate l, as clearly illustrated in Figs. 4: and 6, is pro-' vided with a depending lip-1Q which is adapted to abut against the side of the tie '11 and hold 'the vplate '1 against transverse movement with respect to the tie'll. These 1 rice...
lips 10 are preferably placed so as to engage the rearface of the tie with respect to the direction oftravel upon therails supported upon the tie'plates.
The auxiliary jaw?) is provided with a tapering pocket 12, within which tapering pocket '12 is placed a wedge 13, which wedge is provided with a cut-out portion 14 for fitting snugly over the top and side edge of the base 8 of the rail 9. This wedge plate 13 is provided with a longitudinally extending slot 15 near one end thereof for producing a narrow tongue 16, which narrow tongue '16 is adapted to-be, bent back at an angleto the same against accidental creeping aswell as removal from engagement with the tie.
It should also be understood that a very simple and eflicient means has been produced for connecting the rail to the rail or tie plate. The tie plate 1 may of course be secured tothe tie 11 by means of the spikes 17 which pass through the apertures 18 formed in the plate 1. \Vhat we claimis 2-.-
1. A tie plate and anti-creeper comprising a base, means for holding the same in engagement with a tie, a primary jaw carried by said plate and provided with a plurality of rail gripping ribs formed upon the under face of said jaw and adapted to firmly bite into the upper face of thebase of a rail, said body provided with an auxiliary jaw, and a wedging plate fitting under said auxiliary jaw and adapted to engage the base of a rail for firmly clamping the rail between said jaws and causing said biting ribs to firmly engage the upper face of the base of a rail.
2. A tie plate and anti-ereeperoomprising a base, means for holding the same in engagement with a tie, a primary jaw carried by said plate and provided with a plurality of rail gripping ribs formed upon the under face of said jaw and adapted to firmly bite; into the upper face of thebase of a rail, said body provided with an auxiliary jaw, a wedging plate fitting under said auxiliary jaw and adapted to engage the base of a rail for firmly clamping the rail between said jaws and causing said biting ribs. to firmly engage the upper face, of the base, of a rail, a tongue, carried, by said wedge plate and adapted to be bent backwardly upon said auxiliary jaw for holding said w'edging plate against accidental removal from said auxiliary jaw,
3. A ti'e plate and anti-creeper comprising a base, means for holding the same, in engagement with a tie, a primary jaw carried by o said plate and provided with a plurality of rail gripping ribs formed upon the under face of said jaw and adapted to firmly bite into the upper face of the base of a rail, said body provided with an auxiliary jaw, a wedging plate fitting under said auxiliary jaw and adapted to engage the base of a rail for firmly clamping the rail between said jaws and causing said biting ribs to firmly engage the upper face of the base of a rail, a tongue carried by said wedging plate and adapted to be bent backwardly upon said auxiliary jaw for holding said wedging plate against accidental removal from said auxiliary jaw, and said wedging plate provided with a cut-out portion upon one side thereof for fitting snugly over the base of a rail.
In testimony whereof we hereunto afiix our signatures.
