, E. G. WALLINDER. RAILROAD TIE AND BRACE PLATE.
PLICATION FILED NOV 5,192]

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ERICK G. WALLINDER, 0E DULUTH, MINNESOTA.
RAILROAD TIE AND BRACE PLATE.
To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, Enron G. VVAL JINnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Duluth, in the county of St. Louis and State of Minnesota have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad Tie and Brace Plates, of which the following is a specification reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relatesto railroad track construction and has special reference to a novel form. of combination tie plate and brace plate for railroad rails.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a simple, durable and elficient wearing or tie plate, having cooperatively associated therewith a brace plate for bracing the rail wherever deemed necessary.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the further description thereof.
Referring to the accompanying drawing forming part of this application in which like reference characters indicate like parts: c
Figure 1 is a transverse vertical sectional view of a rail mounted upon one of the improved tie plates. and
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same, the rail being broken.
1 represents the tie or wearing plate which is preferably rectangular in form and provided with three upstanding ribs 2, 23 and 4., formed integral therewith and extending transverse the entire width of the plate.
The two ribs 3 and 4: are spaced apart and inwardly of the extreme ends of the plate, they being the rail engaging ribs and in termediate of which the base of the rail, indicated at 5, fits while the rib' 2 is formed upon the extreme upper corner of the outside of the plate.
The rib 2 acts as a stop for the base of the angularly shaped brace plate 6, the upper end. of which fits withinthe corner 7 of the rail intermediate of the lower-extremity of the bulb of the rail and the web thereof.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 4, 1922.
Application filed November 5, 1921. Serial No. 512,965.
This brace plate 6 is only slidable'into position longitudinally of the rail after the tie plate has been applied thereto, the latter being applicable to the rail transversely thereof, as the throat of the rib 3 is provided with longitudinally disposed cut-away portions 8 and 9'to permit of such application of the plate to the rail, and said rib having an inwardly projecting lip itsentire length for overlapping engagement with the rail.
Suitable spike holes are formed through the base portion of the bracing plate which register with the spike holes in the wearing plate so that the common spike is made to hold the two firmly in position.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: 7
A rail support embodying a base plate having means for engagement with the base of a railcomprising two parallel ribs spaced apart a distance equal to the width of the base of the rail, one of said ribs overlapping the; outer edge of the base of the rail, the
other of said ribs having a straight vertical rail engaging face, cut-away portions within the throat of the railoverlapping rib to permit of the plate being applied to the base of the rail directly transversely thereof and when thus applied resulting in both ribs simultaneously closely fitting the base of the rail, a transversely disposed upwardly extending rib at the end'of the plate and spaced from the overlapping rib and an inclined bracing plate engageable intermediate of the end rib and the inner lower corner of the bulb of the rail only longitudinally. thereof whereby when the base plate and bracing plate are cooperatively V positioned they become firmly united with the rail.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in thepresence of two witnesses.
