FRANK G. SMITH, 0F ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY.
RAILROAD APPLIANCE.
Application filed May 13,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I,- FRANK G. SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elizabeth, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad Appliances, cation, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
My invention relates to improvements in appliances adapted for securing rails in position upon the ties of railroads and is an improvement upon my previous United States Patent numbered 1,082,977.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 illustrates in perspective view partly broken away, an application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view on a reduced scale, and Fig. 3 a cross sectional elevation.
4 indicates the tie and 5 a plate which may be suitably secured thereto such as by the jaws or flanges 6. This plate is preferably provided with a turned out portion on one side such as 7 adapted to engage the base flange 8 of the rail 9 as shown. The plate is also preferably cut away and 11 and beneath the cut away portion 10 of the plate a suitable cut away portion or recess 12 is preferably provided in the tie. 13 indicates a suitable metallic block which is adapted to fit within the recess 12 in thetie and is provided with a suitable head or rivet such as l t adapted to retain the binding member or clamp 15 in position as shown. observed is bent over to engage the hole 11 in of which the following is a specifi-' as indicated at 10 One end of the clamp 15 it will be Specification of-Letters Patent.

the plate, while the other end is curved to engage the base flange of the rail. The clamp 15 may be inherent resiliency or vided in the plate 5 tremityof the clamp may snap the hole 11 may be proso that the curved exinto the same to keep the clamp from shifting. In order to remove the clamps so as to replace the rail or for making repairs itis only necessary to pry up the curved extremity of the clamp and swing it on the pivot 14; clear of the rail,
after which it will be readily understood that the rail may be conveniently removed.
Of course-it will be understood that various modifications may be made without d6".- parting from the spiritof'the invention as claimed.
I claim:
A rail fastening device comprising an integral'plate adapted to fit over and engage both sides of the tie, a lip stamped out of one portion of said plate adapted to engage one side of the rail, a clamping member, a block pivotally secured thereto, through said retain said block in position beneath the same, said plate havii'ig a hole adapted to engage one end of said clamping member and said end of said clamping-g.v member looped upwardly to receive the tool for'disengaging the same from said hole.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
