RAIL-SECURING DEVICE.
Application filed October 23, 1925. Serial No. 64,431.
a rail securing device which shall include an improved form of tie with a out-away portion of particular contour constituting a rail seat, and an inverted channel element adapted to be bolted to the tie and to project over one edge of the flange'of the rail, the opposite edge of the flange being retained by an element formed by undercutting one wall of the recessed portion of the tie.
A further object is to provide a retaining element adapted for use with a tie constructed as specified, this retaining element being of inverted channel form and proportioned to fit a rib extending longitudinally of a metallic or concrete tie, the flanges of the channel element being cut away at one end, and the web at this end projecting over the rail flange.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of elements disclosed in the drawings, specification, or claim, it being understood that modifications may be made within the scope of the claim without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings forming part of this application,
Figure 1 is a perspective View of the construction;
Figure 2 is a vertical section, transversely of the tie and the channel element for retaining the rail; W
Figure 3 is a vertical section transversely of the rail and longitudinally of the channel element.
The tie may be of suitable material, as metal, concrete, or wood, and is shown as including a base or horizontal flange 10 and an n standing longitudinal rib 11. The rib may e rectangular in cross section and the entire tie may be of T shape in cross section.
The rib 11 is cut away or recessed to provide a rail seat 12 below the upper edge of the rib, one wall of the recessed portion being undercut at 13 to form an overhanging and rail-engaging member 14 adapted to come into approximate contact with the upper surface of the rail flange.
The rail 15, of usual construction, includes base 16 received by rail seat 12, and one side or edge of the base or flange of said rail is opposite vertical wall 17 of the re cess, the other edge passing under element 14 of the tie. The lower wall of element 14 is tapered or inclined as shown, sothat the extreme edge of the rail flange is held in a positive manner.
The retaining or securing device 20 is of channel form, and is mounted on the rib 11, the flanges of the channel projecting downward and being apertured transversely to permit of the insertion of bolt 21, which passes through rib '11 and is held by nut 22. These flanges are cut away at corresponding ends, but a portion of each flange is retained with the web, to provide a stiff end portion adapted to project over the edge of the rail flange and to engage the upper surface of the flange. The edges 23 are inclined, and being in close contact with the flange of the rail, tend to prevent the creeping of the rail. The vertical edges 24 prevent lateral movement, and if a single bolt is used for each device 20, as shown, the lower edge 25 should contact with the upper surface of the tie flange, avoiding any possibility of pivotal movement of device 20 about the bolt as an axis.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is The combination with a recessed tie having an undercut wall at one side of the recess, of a flanged rail received by the recessed portion and engaged by said wall, and an inverted channel element secured to the tie, said tie including an upper longitudinal rib passing through the channelled portion, the flanges of said inverted element being partly cut away at corresponding ends for direct grippingcontact with'the upper surface of the rail flange, and the cut away portions having vertical walls engaging one edge of the rail flange when the opposite edge is retained by the undercut wall of the recessed portion of the tie.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
EDDIE W. HARRIS.
