Be it known that l, MARSHALL GUY Win rinns" e-citizen oi the United Ststes, residing et 'lt'verett in the county of VBedford en Stets of lennsylvanie, have invented cer'- tein useful improvements in Railroad-Ties, ot which the ollowing is e specification, re ei'ence being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention hes reterence generally to improvements in that class oi' inventions known :is ties end fasteners end inore perticnlerly relates to improved reilrosd ties.,
As the primary aim and object the present invention contemplates the provision o' e novel tie embodying sections formed o reiniorced concrete, improved metallic conneoting means being anchored in the editi cent ends of the sections tor spacing the seo tions -end to ilord resiliency to the tie es Whole when subjected to the strain cause by the rollingv stock psssing thereover.
lt is en additional end equally important object to provide improved seets in the 'seotions ier receiving end supporting the rsil sections Still iurthei the invention includes the revision oit cooperative rnea anchored in -he-sections end engegeehle with the ripper nrisces thereo but seperate there-troni tor einovshly clamping the reils position,
Among the other ohiects oi the present invention nitty be recited the provi sion of device ci the cheineter mentioned with e View to compnotness., end in which the nnnoher of parte e dew? the constitue tion sirnple, the cost oi prcdnction lov: end
ediciency high.,
@then oofgects es well es the netnre., chen ecteristio tentures end scope o` this invenu tion will he incre reedily apparent rorn the iollowing description tslsen ni connection 'with the ecoonipanyingI drawings en pointed ont in the cleinn 'orining e psrt ot this speciheetion preieerred embodiment et the present invention is 'illustrated in the sccleerly i conipenynig drswings, in i'zvhiensn qliigggnre l. is e side elevation oi the inventione 2 is en enlarged longitudinal section. 3 is e top pien ot the.inventren9 en l is n perspective detnii oi the wedge hineinI characters ot reference ere ernefe ^ recesses e" having the inclined side ployed in ell out the shove described views, to indicate corresponding parte.
leerring now7 more particularly, to the eccoinpsnying drawings l provide e tie einbodying s plurslity o spaced yet connected sections each section including e body l formed ot concrete reinforced hy nietsllic sheets Z arranged longitudinslly and horizontslly thereoi' in spaced relation throughout the height, i metallic ber 3 having anchoring plates Ll orined on the respective ends snol anchored in the adjacent en s o the sections when they ere molded,` serves ss e Ineens for yieldingly connecting the sections. Bolts o have anchoring heads 6 rfoi-ined on the singularly bent ends so es to eectively maintain the bolts in s proper position in the body when they are being molded, the outer portions G ol1v the bolts being extended upwardly end projecting above the upper surfaces o the sections end arranged pei'pendiculsrly thereto. is is spperent upon reference to Fig, 2 peirs of these bolts are arranged in spaced relation while the singularly bent ends extend in op-I posite directions this errengeinent being4 for s purpose to be described.
in order to provide the improved rail seats intimated above, employ wood bloclis Y the side edges which beveled iniverdiy 'toward the lower edges ss indicated by 'the nninersl S so tlnit the blocks nifty 'he snugly. in. the tinnsversely siisngec p Wells l() .corresponding 'to the beveled edges to perniit or' the nppei snrt'ece oi' the blocks being arranged in slineinent with 'the upper snrece ot esch section rlfhe 1olochs, ot' course, are provided adjacent one edge with spaced bolt receivingopenings ll tor accommodating one pair ot bolts 5 end provided on their opposite edge with spaced inwardly extending; slots il Bolt l entend tiens versely through blocks in spaced relstion to each other and have their heads enibedded in one et the free edges While nuts le ere engaged on the threaded extremities and ere embedded in recesses es indicated in Fig., h As is apparent this arrangement serves to brace the blocks end reduce the possibility oi splitting 'thereof when they ere subjiected to the severe strain caused hy the rolling stock passing over the rails l5 positioned theresbwee For the purpose of rernovebly clem-Jing the rsils 'lo in position shove the bloc s l.
v inay be stated that the bolts 5 being anchored v as at-l9 to effectively engage the base flanges of course, are
i These plates, 'also providedwith bolt receiving openings 20 toperinit'of an edective .engagement with 't ie. upwardly extended ends of the bolts 5.
ook' washers 2l are arranged on the-bolts above the plate- 16 and engaged-by n'uts'QrZ and serve as a means for clamping the plates the position illustrated. v in View of the foregoing description it is believed that the advantages of the invention will be readily. apparent. .However, it
1n the bodies serve to-'reinforee the bodies prevent longitudinal -nioveinent of the blocks in the recesses besides facilitating the clamping of the rails in position.
Itv will be understood that the foregoing description and'aeconipanying drawings coin` prehend only the general and preferred einloodimeiit of my. invention and thatv Various ininor changes in-detail of construction, proportion and arrangement of the parts may insieme be 'made Within-the scope of the appended claim and Without sacrificing any of the ad- .inolded for imparting a resiliency tothe tie asa Whole', the upper surface of each of the sections being provided with a groove having recesses when the blocks-are situated there-i l in, bolts` extending transversely through and engaging the longitudinal adapted bo lin testimony WhereoiI l aa niy signature.
