BAIL TIE.
' Application filed September 23,1924. Serial No. 739,333.
To aZZ whom it Hwy concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS B. MooLIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hurdland, in the county of Knox and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Rail Tie of which the following is a specification. Y
The present invention has reference to railway rail fasteners and aims to provide novel means whereby the usual spikes employed in connection with rails may be eliminated, due consideration being given to the strength and durability of the rail and fastener.
An important object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which may be quickly positioned for securing a rail, the securing means embodying a single key.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a. novel form of fastening means especially designed for use in connection with metallic ties to insure against the rail supported on the metallic ties becoming displaced therefrom.
Vith 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 in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a fragmental plan view disclosing a railway tie and rail constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure t is a perspective view of the mov able fastening member.
Fig, 5 is a fragmental sectional view of the fastener.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 indicates a hollow metallic tie which is formed with lower longitudinal flanges 6 providing supports for the removable fastening member to be hereinafter more fully described.
Formed integral with the tie is the stationary fastening member 7 which has its inner surface cut away to accommodate the base and web of the rail to be secured thereby. Extending inwardly from the stationary section of the fastening member are spaced lugs 8 that are adapted to be received by the openings 9 of the rail sections, it being understood that the rail sections must be formed with openings that will fall opposite to the lugs 8 when the rail is positioned on the tie.
Formed in the inner surface of the sta tionary fastening member 7 and arranged adjacent to the base of the tie, are openings 10, which openings accommodate the extensions 11 formed on the movable fastening member 12. This movable fastening member 12 is provided with a rail engaging section 18, the lower port-ion of which rests on the tie, while the lower edges of the fastening member rest on the flanges 6, as clearly shown by Figure 1 of the drawing.
Openings 14 are formed in the movable fastening section which openings are adapted to align withv the opening 15 of the tie so that when the movable fastening section has been moved to its active position, a key such as indicated at 16 may be inserted in the registering openings to secure the movable fastening section against accidental displacement.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that due to this construction, a rail may be readily positioned under the stationary fas tening section and the movable fastening section moved to a position as shown by Figure 1 of the, drawing, whereupon the key 16 may be positioned to hold the movable fastening section against movement. 7
If it is desired to remove the rail it is only necessary to remove the key 16 and slide the movable fastening section along the tie and out of the way of the rail which may now be lifted from the tie.
I claim 2- 1. In a device of the character described, a tie having a fastening member formed integral therewith, said fastening member having openings arranged adjacent to the lower edge thereof, a movable clamping section having extensions adapted to fit in the openings, and means for securing the movable clan'iping section to the tie.
2. In a device of the character described, a tie having flanges formed longitudinally thereof and disposed adjacent to the lower movement of the movable section, and means 10 for securing the movable section to the tie.
In testimony that I claim the -foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
