ANTIGREEPING BAIL-CHAIR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 31, 1921.
Application filed June 1, 1920. Serial No. 385,744.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, S'rANrsLAw Wnunnn, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Genoa, in the county of Nance and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Anticreeping Rail-Chairs, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in rail chairs in which the two chairs upon a tie are connected against relative creeping movement so that the rails supported on the chairs maintain their relative positions and obviate danger of the rails spreading.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which like reference characters indicate similar parts throughout the several views,
In the drawing,
Figure l is a cross sectional view of a pair of rails supported upon a tie with a portion of the tie and one of the chairs shown in section,
Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof,
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view taken on line III-III of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the rail chairs removed from the tie- Referring more in detail to the accompanying drawing, there is illustrated a section of a railroad track embodying a supporting tie 5 upon which rail chairs 6 are fixedly mounted for supporting rails 7 while the chairs are connected by a tie rod 8 to prevent relative creeping movement thereof. The chairs 6 are of identical construction and each embodies a flat bottom 9 upon which the base of the rail is mounted and an integral inwardly directed flange 10 adjacent the outer end thereof for overlapping engageinent with the base flange of the rail 7 openings being provided in the extreme outer end 11 of the bottom section 9 through which the retainin spikes 12 pass in entering the tie 5. [is shown more clearly in Figs. 1 and 4:, the inner end of the bottom section 9 is of increased cross sectional area as indicated at 13 and through which enlarged portion, openings are provided for the passage of spikes 12 so that the chair 6 is anchored to the tie 5 by the spikes 12,
while the flange 10 and inwardly positioned spikes engaging the opposite base flanges of the rail 7 retain the rail in position upon the chair bottom 9.
The tie rod 8 to prevent relative creeping movement of the chairs 6 has the ends thereof oppositely threaded as at 14 for free passage through alined openings provided in the vertical extensions 15 carried by the inner ends of the chair sections 13 while retaining nuts 16 threaded on the ends 14. of the rod 8 engage the opposite faces of the extensions 15 to hold the rod in its adjusted position with the rail chairs immovable.
The rail 7 is retained in operative position upon the chair 6 in the manner disclosed at the right hand side of Fig. 1, while as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the meeting ends of the rail sections 7 as shown at the left hand side of said figures have the web portions thereof connected by the splice bars 17 through which webs and splice bars retaining bolts extend sothat the meeting ends of the rails are retained relatively immovable with the base flanges of said rails anchored to the chair.
While there is herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
What is claimed as new is:
A rail chair comprising a plate having a flat bottom portion forming a rail base seat, an integral inwardly directed rail engaging flange formed adjacent the outer end of sail plate and overlying the bottom portion, said plate also provided with spike receiving openings intersecting said flange, the other end of said plate being of increased cross sectional area to form an intermediate shoulder to coiiperate with said plate flange to hold a rail seated therebetween against movement, the terminal of said enlarged end extending upwardly at right angles to the bottom plate to form a vertical anchoring extension and a connecting rod fastened to the extensions of adjacent chairs.
In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature.
