E. J. FRISK.
RAILROAD SPIKE.
APPLICATION, FILED JUNE 19, 1918.

Pr ce.
ERIK J'. FRISK, OF WAUKEGAN, ILLINOIS.
RAILROAD-SPIKE.
' Application filed .Tune 19,
T 0' all whom it may cmwem:
Be it known that I, ERIK J. FRisK, a citi zen of the United States, residing at Wankegan, in the county of Lake and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad-Spikes, "of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in railroad spikes, and more particularly to a type of spike adapted for use at railway crossings, at or near switch points and other places Where the rails of one track cross or converge toward those of another track.
With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists'in the combination and arrangement of parts tozbe hereinafter fully described, pointed out in the appended claim and illustrated in the acc'ompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification and in which- Figure 1 is a view of my improved spike in side elevation.
. Fig. 2 is an end view-of Fig 1.
Fig.' 3 is a top plan view of Fig. 1. Like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout.
y improved spike comprises a pair of twin spaced legs 1, 2'which are formed at their free ends with the beveled portions 3, said portions being formed upon the rela- I tively remote faces of the legs, the adjacent faces thereof being straightand plain. The
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 5, 1920. 1918. Serial No. 240,773.
legs 1, 2 are connected by the web 4 which is thickened and widened immediately above the said legs to form the heads 5 which taper ofi into the free ends 6.
The spikes are used chiefly adjacent rail intersections where they canbe so driven into the tie that the tapered ends 6 of the heads 5 will engage the flanges of two rails.
Such points are found at crossings and where a siding branches off from the main line, etc. head ends 6 are all integral thus cheapening the manufacture and economizing in material.
What is claimed is In a railroad spike, twin spaced legs having their relatively remote faces beveled adjacent their ends and their adjacent faces flat and parallel, and-a web connecting said legs, the ends of said web being tapered and extending substantially be 0nd the le in the longitudinal plane of t e web, sai web at its points of 1uncture with the legs being thickened to form heads.
In testimony as my own I ave hereto aflixed my s1gnature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. 1'-
