Description

w. P. HESTERLY Patented July 5, 1927.
WILLIAM r. HESTERLY, or norm-n, TEXAS.
COMBINED RAIL ANCHOR AND TIE PLATE.
Application filed September My invention relates to tie plates, and has for one of its objects to improve and simplify the general construction of devices of this character and to provide one which,
in addition to performing the usual functions of a tie plate, will serve as a rail anchor.
The foregoing and other objects are attained by the construction combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing. wherein:
Figure 1 is a view illustrating the appl cation of the tie plate to a railway rail. and
Figure 2 is a detail perspective view of the tie plate.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in both views of the drawing by simi- 2 lar reference numerals.
The tie plate 1, whichis preferably made of tempered steel is provided at its upper. side with a longitudinal rib 2 and resilient hooks 3. The rib 2 is located adjacent a side edge of the plate 1, and the hooks 3 are located atthe corners of the plate adjacent the other side edge thereof. The hooks 3 overlie the plate 1, and their free or inner terminals are curved upwardly as shown at 4. The hooks 3 may be formed by slotting the plate 1. adjacent and parallel to the end edges thereof, and by then bending upwardly and inwardly those portions located between the slots and end edges of thcplate. The plate 1 is provided near the rib 2 with spike receiving openings 5 and intermediate the hooks 3 with a spiked receiving opening 6. The opening 6 extends transversely of the plate 1 and is longer than the corre sponding dimension of the spike to be in serted therethrough to adapt the device for application to different weight rails.
In practice, the tie plate is adapted to be applied to a rail 7 in the manner illustrated in Figure 1. The rib 2 contacts with an edge of the base of the rail and the hooks 3 overlie and contact with the base adjacent the other'edge thereof. The tie plate may be readily applied by slipping it on 24, 1925. Serial No. 58,398.
the rail base in av manner to position the hooks 3 in embracing relation with the ct ge of the inner flange of the base, by driving it on the base until the rib 2 is clear of the edge of the outer flange thereof, and by then swinging it into contactwith the bottom side of the base. As the hooks 3 are tensioned during the application of the tie plate, they constantly exert a downwardly direct-ed pressure on the rail base. and as the result the rail will be positively held against creeping-in bothdirections. As the portion 1? of the tie plate 1 which is located outwardly beyond the rib 2. is longer than that portion 1 thereof which is located between and extends upwardly beyond the jaws 3, the tie plate has a greater bearing surface on the outer than on the inn-er side of the rail, and in view thereof will tend to camber the rail inwardly. lVith the rail in this position the frictionand near there on is reduced to the minimum.
The tie plate is a onepiece structure. may be readily applied under full ballasted track. does not have to be removed from the rail when making tie renewals, and reduces the wear on the tie to the minimum. As the tie plate is held snugly in contact with the rail base by the jaws 3, it will not rattle during the passage of a train over the rail.
I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative. and that such changes may be made when desired as are within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is: V
A tie plate having a rib locatedinwardlv beyond one side edge thereof, relatively spaced resilient jaws located at the corners and inwardly beyond the other side edge thereof that portion of the tie plate located outwardly beyond the rib being greater in length than that portion located outwardly beyond the awsfland said jaws: being located at the ends of said latter portion and having upwardly curved inner terminals.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
WILLIAM P. HE S-TERLY.
