UNITED STTES PATENT OFFICE.

I cnoss'rrn.
Application filed April 30, 1921.
T all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY C. TULLY, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio,
have invented a new and useful Crosstie, of
which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to rail supporting devices for the rails of railways.
This invention has utility when incorporated in cross-ties, especially of structural metal adapting the structure for manufacture as a so-called bridge shop job.
Referring to the drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention in a cross-tie adapted more particularly for bedding in con crete, as in street railway use;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the crosstie of Fig. 1 independently of the rails;
Fig. 8 is a detail view of a rail holding means in plan showing its assembled relation;
Fig. 4 is a detail view of rail holding means in side elevation; I
Fig. 5 is a detail view from another side of the rail holdingmeans;
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary side elevation of a showing of the tie having an additional bedding block adapting it for use with loose ballast;
Fig. 7 is a plan view of the tie with the blocks in position, parts being broken away; and
Fig. 8 is an end view of the blocks assembled into position in the device of Fig. 6.
The rails are shown as having ball 1 carried by web 2 from base flanges 3. In the structure of this disclosure there is provided a tie or main structural metal member'herein shown as an angle having a vertical web 4 and a horizontal flange providing,
rail-seat portions 5 spaced by a depressed or ofl'setportion 6 of this flange. This depressed portion 6 when the tie is mounted in concrete ballast coacts as a holding means in retaining the tie in the ballast not only transversely but against upward shifting and also acts as a support. In order that the ball 1 of the rails may seat well in the bearing of the wheels of the rolling stock, it may be desirable to deflect the web 4 upwardly at portions 7 in the region of the rail-seats 5, thereby causing the rail-seats to slightly inwardly ti the balls 1 of the rails. Providing a su plementary sustaining seat for the rails, t ere are shown herewith angle Serial No. 465,730.
members having vertical web portions 8 and horizontally extending flange portions 9.
The extent of this supplementary member 8, 9, is local to the region of the seat 5. The webs 7, 8, are provided with openings or slots 10 which may approximate registering position slightly beyond the width of the flange 3 of the rails. Adjacent the flange 3 v of the rails, the seats 5, 9, are shown as provided with slots 11. Holding means is provided with head 12 shown as having bent portion 13 therefrom extending through slots 11' connected by angularly'extending portion 14 to a third portion 15 extendingthrough registering slots 10 and connected with terminus 16 overlapping as a holding means at the end of the slot 10. This headed member may be twisted into the registering webs 4, 8, and project up adjacent the flange 3 of the rail. Punching or cut out portion. 17 from the slot 10 may then be inserted in the slot 11 to draw the head 12 into snug position as to the rail 3, and this portion 17 then anchored, as by spot welding 18, thereby anchoring the holding means 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, into flXed rail holding and tie assem-. bling position. The ends of the horizontal flange adjacent the seats 5 may have downwardly bentfree end portions 18', and the flange seat 9 may also have free. end portions 18 downwardly bent, thereby assisting in anchoring the tie into the ballast. I
In instances where it may be desirable to adapt this rail to loose ballast, wood blocks 19 may be disposed one on each side of the webs 7. 8. Registering openings 20 in these web portions 7, 8, may receive a V-shaped member 21 having inwardly bent ends 22 which are swung up and are embedded in the blocks and assemble the blocks and supplementary member with the main tie angle.
As thus complete, slots 11 in the seats 5, 9, may receive spikes 23 to engage the rail flanges 3 in anchoring the rails in position as to the ties.
The structure, whether for loose or artificial stone ballast, is one which can be economically produced in considerable quantity as a structural metal or bridge shop job. A bridge shop job is an expression common in the trade to indicate such character of work upon structural material or shapes as may be readily handled by the usual stock and equipment in a plant for the production of structural steel bridges. The weight of the metal. employed may be a minimum Tportions embodyingabutting angle mem having 1 T-shaped cross-sectional portions providing seats on the transverse portions of the Ts thereof-for a plurality of rails, said bers,.tliere being engaging means coacting to hold the angle members assembled inepro viding said seats, said'tie members being provided with openings adjacent said seats extending through the members and d s--' posed parallel with the rails with which openings rail anchoring means may'coact.

7. A cross-tie comprising a main angle member having a vertical web and a horizontal flange providing spaced rail seats and depressedtoward the web between the seats,

8.
