PATENT` QFFIIGE.
ELIJAH MYRIOK, OF AYER, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN BEARING-PLATES FOR RAILWAY RAILS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 118,260, dated August 22, 1871.
To all whom it may concern: Y
Be it known that I, ELIJAH MYRICK, of Ayer, in the county7 of Middlesex and Sta-te of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metallic Bearin gfor Railroad Rails 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the saine, reference being had to the acco1npanyin g drawing forming part of this specification.
It is the object of this invention to provide means for preserving the ties or sleepers of railroads; and it consists in a metallic plate of any form disconnected entirely from the chairs and from the rail, except so far as it ai'ords the latter a bearing, as it will be hereinafter more fully described.
In the accompanying` drawing, Figure l represents a top view ofthe bearing-plate with sections of the tie and rail, both the latter being shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the bearin g-plate detached.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
In this example of my invention I show an annular plate provided with lugs or teeth, (more or less in number,) or a rib or ribs on its under side, which lugs penetrate the tie and keep the wood becomes 1n ore or less disintegrated or shiv- Y ered,77 allowing water to be not only absorbed but retained beneath the rail. This causes 0X- idation of the iron and speedy decay of the wood.
A is the plate, which is placed directly beneath the rail and on the tie, separating the latter from the wood and receiving the full bearing of the rail. By this means the ties are preserved at least double the usual period of time.
This bearingplate is adapted to various other purposes than separating the rail from the tie of railroads. It may be used for bridges and platform-timbers, and for separating cross-timbers, for the purpose of diminishing the actual bearin g-surface, and allowing `water or moisture to be absorbed by the atmosphere. A
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The plate A, having lugs on the under side thereof, applied as and for the purpose specified.v
ELIJAH MYRIGK.
