RAILROAD-TIE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 7, 1920.
Application filed April 6, 1920. Serial No. 371,682.
To all whom it mag concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES O. VVHIT- j COMB, a citizen of the United States, residing at l Vashington, county of Macomb, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Railroad-Ties, and declare the following to a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification. My invention relates to a concrete tie for railroad rails shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly pointed out in the following specification and claims.
The object of my invention is to provide a railroad tie simple and inexpensive in construction provided with means whereby the rails may be securely anchored thereto.
lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes may be made in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed withoutdeparting from the spirit of the same.
In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a longitudinal vertical sectional view through one end of the tie, showing the bed and anchor plates and railroad rail attached thereto.
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view on line 22 of Fig. 1.
Referring now to the letters of reference placed upon the drawings A, denotes a railroad tie of concrete construction, B, indicates a bed plate flush with the top of the tie having downwardly di rected flanges B, spaced from the ends of the tie.
C, designates an anchor plate of channellike form extending transversely of the tie,
but relatively narrower that a sufli ient wall of cement or concrete may cover the edges of the anchor plate.
The anchor plate is preferably constructed with inwardly directd flanges C, C, which serve to anchor the plate in the body of the tie against withdrawal therefrom.
D, indicates the railroad rail resting upon the bed-plate B and secured to the tie by bolts E, extending through apertures in the bed plate into holes in the anchor plate C- tapped to receive the threaded ends of the bolts ;-the heads of the bolts overlapping the flange of the rail.
By a proper adjustment of the bolts the rails may be rigidly secured to the tie and when required may be easily removed or replaced.
Having thus described my invention what I claim is:
1. A railroad tie, comprising a concrete block, a bed-plate mounted on the top of. said block and flush with its upper surface having holes for the passage of bolts, an anchor-plate of an inverted channel-like form extending transversely to the block and downwardly from the bed plate with inwardly directed opposing flanges spaced apart, track rails mounted on the bed plate, and a plurality of bolts adapted to engage the flanges of the track-rails extending through the holes in the bed-plate and screwed into tapped holes in the anchor plate. I
2. A railroad tie, comprising a concrete block, a bed plate mounted on the block and flush with its upper surface having downwardly directed flanges spaced from the ends of the tie, an anchor plate embedded in the block beneath the bed plate of an inverted channel-like construction and having inwardly directed projecting flanges eX- tending at right angles to its side walls, track-rails mounted upon the bed plate, and a plurality of bolts extending through holes in the bed plate into tapped holes in the anchor-plate, the heads of said bolts overlapping the flanges of the trackrails.
In testimony whereof, I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES O. WHITCOMB.
