. of track fastening means, and fourth, to
j view which will rappear as the description provide a simple and eflcienttie. With the foregoing and other objects in proceeds, the invention resides in the com-` bination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
tion is shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein i Figure 1 is a plan view of a tie, the central portion broken away.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a portion of j the tie showing the track seat.
Fig. 3 is a vertical cross section through one of the ybrace plates.
Fig. 4 is a central horizontal section of a tie at that portion shown in Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings by numerals The tie is constructed of VI-beams 1-1 spaced apart by the tie plates 2, which are preferably formed of short sections of I- beam. The laterally extending edges 3 of each tie plate 2, which contact the web of each I-beam 1, are secured tothe web by rivets, or otherwise. A reinforcing plate 5 'is secured to the inner face of the web of each I-beam 1 at the point where the track is seated. Each plate 5 is formed with angularly disposed ends 6, and apertures 7 adapted to aline with apertures formed Specification Patent. i Patented One practical embodiment of my inven- Dec. 18,1917. i
Concrete, indicated atk 9, is filled in" between. the I-beams 1, and there isV formed in this concrete, adjacent the apertures. 7 and 8, openings 10, which extend through and across the space between the'-beams `1.
This permits the tie tobe reversed end for i end, and also with respect to the upper and f lower faces. The edges of the reinforcing plates serve to reinforce and retain the concrete surrounding these openings .10. U-
vbolts 11 pass through the'aliiiing aperturesV 7 and 8 and the openings 10 and engage gripping members 12 for the purpose of.
binding a rail 13 in place upon the tie. It
will benoted that the apertures 7 and 8 are `situated equidistant from the upper and lower faces of the tie.
essary by the fact Vthat thetie-'is reversible,v
This is rendered necv as heretofore set forth. One end. of the U-bolt is inserted through the apertures from the outside and the bolt drawn into place as shown'. f Y
It is thought that the assembling and op eration of the device is amply 'apparent from the foregoing without any further and special description thereof.
Having described my invention, what I claimas new andV desire to secure by Letters Patent,=is:
l1. A vrailway tie, comprising spaced I- beams, spacing plates extending between and secured to the webs of the Iebeams, and
a filler packed between the beams and surrounding tlie spacing plates. f
2. A railway tie, comprising beams provided with apertures,l a filler between the beams having openings communicating with the apertures, and reinforcing. plates sef openings. l
3. A railway tie, comprising-beams provided with apertures adapted to receive a curedto each beamand extending into the rail securing element, a Vfiller between the` beams having openings communicating with each beam, and angularly disposed ends on each plate extending into the openings to support and retain theiller.
