. concrete or metal ties.
It is a further object of my invention to provide a novel combination and arrangement of parts, as more fully hereinafter set forthand claimed.
One of the principal objects of my invention is to prevent the creeping of rails.
I attain the objects of my invention bythe mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an end view of my rail fastener, with the rail shown in cross section; Fig. 2 is a top plan Fig. 3 is a section through the tie on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, the rail fastenerbeing shown'in side elevation; and Fig. 4 is a section through the fastener, on line 44 of Fig. 2, the tie being shown in elevation.
Like characters of reference designate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the accompanying drawings,
the tie is designated by 1, and the rail by 2.-
The tie may be of wood, concrete or metal, my fastener being adapted for use with any suitable tie. I provide plate members 3 and 4, having overlapping flanges 19 and 20, respectively, as illustrated in Figs.- 2 .and 4.
Plate 3 is provided with a rail engaging gaging flange 18, overlapping the base flanges of rail 2, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and has a downwardly extending and provided. with lugs 7 positioned to engage in suitable recesses 9 in tie 1. Plate 4 has a downwardly extending flange 6 extending down the side of the tie opposite member 5. Flange 6 is provided with lugs a similar rail en-.
. 8 positioned to engage in suitable recesses 10 in tie 1, as illustrated in Fig. 3. Plate 3 is provided with a rail engaging end portion 11 having a slotted portion 12, into which the outwardly curved end or tongue 13 of plate 4 projects to lock the triangular plate members together at that side of the rail. Diagonally opposite locking members 11, 12 and 13 above described, I provide on plate 3, a=suitable ,orificed portion 14, and
on plate 4 a corresponding suitable orificed' of the rail. Rail engaging portions 17 of plate 3 and16 and 11 of plate 4 engage over opposite base flanges of' rail 1 to lock the same in place. Plates 3 and. 4 are locked together by the projection of the tongue or end 13 through the slotted portion 12 of member 4, said end being outwardly curved as illustrated to prevent disengagement.
The locking engagement may be further.
stiffened by the insertion of a suitable steel wedge (not illustrated) in the slotted portion 12 to bear against the tongue or end 13, if the engagement otherwise is not sufiiciently rigid. Such a wedge prevents any movement of the parts in any direction. At the diagonally opposite portion of the fastening device;orificed portions 15 Particular attention is directed to the fact that the device is adapted for use with wooden, concrete or metal ties, it being necessary merely to have the recesses in the sides of the tie to receive the lugs which lock the fastener to the tie. Attention is also directed to the fact that except for the fastening of plate 4 and 14 of'plate 3 are secured together by -the insertion of a suitable fastening bolt bolt, the fastener consists of but two nonintegral members.
The device operates to prevent the creeping of rails, the lock taking the place of a rail plate and rail brace.
What I claim is:
l. A rail fastener consisting of triangular plate members abutting one against the other and having overlapping portions engaging opposite base flanges of the rail, and having means for engaging in recesses at opposite sides of the tie to lock the fastener to the tie, and means disposedat diagonally opposed portions of the fastener to lock the triangular plate members in rigid engage ment, substantially as described.
52. In a rail fastener a triangular plate member extending under the base of the rail and having a flange adapted to overlap the base flange of the rail, and a downwardly extending portion adapted to extend down the side of the tie, and lugs project.- ing from said portion and adapted to engage in corresponding recesses in the tie.
3. In a rail fastener, triangular plate members extending under the rail, one of the members having a slotted portion and the abutting member having an outwardly curved end tongue adapted to lock in sair slotted portion, adjoining orificed portions at the diagonally opposed corner of the fastening device, and a fastening bolt for locking the fastener in engagement with the rails. v
4. In a rail fastener, means for engaging the base flanges of a rail, means for locking the aforesaid means in engagement with the basal flanges of a rail, said locking means being disposed at diagonally opposed corners, and downwardly extended side flanges extending down opposite sides of I said side flanges, said lugs being adapted to lock the rail fastener in engagement with recesses in the tie positioned to receive the lugs, whereby the rail mav be rigidly fastened by the device to ties of wood, concrete or metal.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
