Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. d, 1917.
Application led December 30, 1916. Serial No. 139,845.
To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, WILLIM KLIMAS, a subject of the Czar of Russia, resident of Paterson, county of Passaic, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad-Ties, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in railway ties or sleepers, and has as its principal object the provision of a tie composed principally of cement or concrete, the same being molded into a desirable shape and materially strengthened or reinforced by the insertion of metallic elements.
Another'object is to provide a novel form of fastening means which may be readily engaged or disengaged within the tie and held when in an engaged position in an eiective manner.
These and other objects are attained by the novel construction and combination of parts hereafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which Figure l is a fragmental perspective view showing a section of trackway indicating the application of the ties.
ig. 2 is a partial elevational and partial sectional view of one 4of the ties.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on line 3 8 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a similar View, the tie being shown in detail.
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same.
Fig. 6 is a View showing a fragment of the reinforcing element.
Fig. 7 is a perspective View showing a form of hook bolt employed, and
Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing one of the plugs used to maintain the hook bolt in position.
In the present construction, the ties are preferably formed in molds whereby a rectangular structure is presented having the general shape of the ordinary wooden tie but avoiding the defect of comparatively rapid decomposition.
Near the ends of the rectangular block constituting the tie 10 is inserted a reinforcing element l1, the same preferably being a flat metallic strip twisted into a shape clearly indicated in Figs. 2 and 6, whereby the cement is caused to adhere to the strip which is iirmly embodied therein.
Also near the ends of the tie are formed rectangular openings 16, the same extending partially through the tie and having ree cesses 17 at their eXtreme lower ends, the recesses being formed with reference to the reinforcing element 11.
Immediately adjacent to the openings 16 are small raised rectangular projections 18 upon which the nut or other securing element used to fasten the rail may make contact, and between which the base of the running rail is positioned.
In order to secure the rails firmly to the ties, hooked bolts 20 are used, the same having an angularly turned hook head 21 'adapted to enter the passage or opening 16, the head 21 being positioned immediately below and adjacent to the reinforcing element 11 within the recesses 17, whereupon the keeper 23 is inserted at the rear side of the bolt, opposite the projection 21, holding the bolt firmly in its position.
When the bolts have been secured and the rails placed in position, the nuts 22 may `be screwed on the threaded portion 2O so that one side of the nuts presses against the upper surface of the flanged base of the rails, the other side resting upon the top of the projections 1S, thereby binding and clamping the rails rigidly in position on the ties.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that a very cheap, and durable tie has been disclosed and that simple yet effective form of rail fastenings may be inserted in the openings formed to receive them.
I claim In a railway tie, the combination with a concrete block, having parallel surfaces, of a helically twisted reinforcing element midway and longitudinally in said block, bolts 9 receivable in openings formed in said block, an angular projection formed with the inserted end of each of said bolts, said proj ections being engageable with said reinforcing element, blocks inserted in the mentioned openings adapted to hold said bolts in adjusted position, and raised elements formed on the upper surface of said block contiguous to said holes.
In testimony whereof I have afEXed my signature this 18th day of December, 1916.
WILLIM KLIMAS.
