APPLICATION FILED SEPT-- 9.1918- A T/ORNEY adapted to transmit signals.
UNITED STATES OFFICE.
ARTHUR R. FUGINA, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
BENITE NT 'RAILWAY-RAIL SUPPORT.
Specification of Letters 2mm.
Iiatented. Jan. 27, 1920.
Applicetion flled september 9, 1918. Serial No. 258.300.
To all whom z'tmay cone-em;
Be it known that I, ARTHUR R. FUGINA, a citizen of. the United States, residing in the City of Louisville, county of Jefferson,
and State of Kentucky, have invented anew and useful Improvement inRenitent Railway-Railsupports, of which the following is a'specification.
This invention relates to meansadapted to permit of a degree'otdepression between cant proposes to actuate such mechanism by a vertical deflection "of the rai 1, caused by a passing train. Asthedeflectionrequired is slight and 'occursprogressivel as the.
train moves toward the: lce nter 'o the defi ectable zone, or s'ectiomof rail, tthe,transmitting mechan sm :w llbe' actuated without a shock.
An object of this invention is to provide a yielding support adaptdto be placed between a rail and a cross-tie, or sleeper,
Another object is to provide. anassemblage, comprising a tie plate and an associated renitent element which. inay be installed, under a railway rail, without entailing additional labor over i that required for an ordinary tie-plate.
A further objectis-to provide a rail su port of the character described, which will be economlcal in construction, Qlllifible' llt service, and which ;.w1ll be servicable un-,
der all climatic conditions.
The invention ma'y b'e understood from a consideration of following detailed ides.
scription taken in *onnection with -tlieac;
com'panying drawingwhich. form s a part of this specification, with' the understanding however that whilejthe drawing shows a practical embodiment of the invention, the
latter is by no means limitedto exact com formity therewith, but maybe embodied in anyotherform which mayFsome within the scope of "the ,claim appended hereunto.
In thedrawing herein similar reference characters designate like parts in the several views, Figure 1', is a top plan view of an embodiment; of ,the invention as installed under a rail; and Fig. 2, aside elevation of same.
base or plate ;lO- of usual, or any desired constructmn, such as is customary to As illustrated the invention comprises a place between a"'rail1-1 and a cross tie, I
or sleeper 12 for the purpose. of pro-v v ding a broader beai n surface on the he. The plate is -provide with aiaplurality n of perforations 13- through which secur ing means may-bedriven into the'o'ross tie.
A renitent element 15- isso connected" with the plate that in .functionatin'gait may move freely relative, thereto but may not become separatedEtherefromin'handliiig or' transporting. In the embodiment herewith.
illustrated the .renitent element comprises a strip of steel spring which is; of less width than the tie plate, and"isarchedu ward/in the center as at. 16'". Theheig t of'the arch above the tie-plate is preferably equal to the movement desired, the intent being:
that the springplate shallfla'ttenout on the tie-plate at each'complete depression. The spring plate has .a, slight =upward curve 17- at each end which ermits it to slide freely on the tie-plate. he spring plate may be connected with the tie-plate by any suitable means, a preferred method being by the use of button-head rivets -18, the
bodies of which are. received in slots- -l9, which extend inwardlfro'm. the ends of the plates, the heads of the rivets bearupon the upper surface ofthe spring plate and are riveted in counter-sunkdepressions onthe underside of the t1e plate,,leaving the tie-plate smooth on its underside.-
To install the device,,a recessiscut-inthe tie, of suitable dimensions, the, base-plate placed therein andspike'dido'wn in the customary manner. Spikes -23', or, other securing means are then passed through perforations 24r in the tie-plate which are positioned in proximity to the edge of the rail and driven in until the heads thereof impinge upon the flanges of the rail and the tie is drawn up until the crown of the arch 16 contacts with the under surface of the 'ail, ballast is then tamped under the ties,
' in the usual manner, to level up the rail.
that any one skilled in the art pertaining thereto can make claimed as new 1s- In a devlce as characterized, a base, an
elongated curved elastic plate having slots and use the same, what is extended in from the ends thereof, retain-- mg means extended secured to the base.
