RAILWAY-TIE.
Application led September 21, 1917.
To all whom 'it may concern.'
Be it known that I, JACK J. PRUETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Duke, in the county of Phelps, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railway-Ties; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in railway ties and particularly to metal ties.
One object of the present invention is to provide a railway tie which will resiliently support the rails and the weight of the passing train.
Another Objectis to provide a novel device of this character with means for holding the parts against longitudinal movement.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of a railway tie made in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is an end view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a horizontal longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing 10 represents an elongated channel member through the bottom of which there are formed the series of openings 11. The opposite ends of the side walls of the said channel member are formed with the laterally and outwardly extending wings 12.
An inverted channel member 13, of a length equal to that of the member 10, is disposed over the first channel member with the side walls 14 thereof overlapping the side walls of the channel member 10. In corresponding places in the top wall of the channel member 13 there are formed open- Specication of Iletters Patent.
Patented May 14., 1918.
Serial No. 192,587'.
ings 15 which aline with the openings 11 and receive therethrough the vertical bolts 16. Encireling each of these bolts, and bearing with their opposite ends against the channel members, are the strong coil springs 17, said springs serving to hold the channel members in proper spaced relation, and yielding slightly under the weight of a passing train. In the top of the channel member 13, adjacent each end thereof, there are formed the groups of four openings 18 through which are disposed the bolts 19 for holding the rail engaging plates 2O thereon.
On the opposite ends of the side walls of the channel member 13 there are formed the laterally and outwardly extending wings 21 which engage inwardly of the wings 12, whereby the two channel members are held in proper alinement and are prevented from any movement longitudinally. The one movement permitted of the channel members is a vertical movement on the bolts 16.
lVhat is claimed is:
A railway tie including a channel member having a longitudinal series of openings, an inverted channel member engaged on the lirst channel member and having the side walls overlapping and slidably contacting with the side walls of the first channel member, said second channel member also having a longitudinal series of openings, vertical bolts disposed through the said openings, coil springs engaged on the bolts between the channel members, laterally and outwardly extending wings on the opposite ends of the side walls of the first channel member, and laterally and outwardly extending wings on the opposite ends of the side walls of the second channel and engaging sldably with the first wings and inwardly thereof.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
