RAILROAD SLEEPER AND RAIL FASTENING.
Application filed May 10,
posed lengthwise ofthe rail and is so formed underneath that any ballast that gets under the lip of the sleeper will tend to work itself toward the center of the sleeper andkeep the sleeperproperly tamped up, the metallic sleepers having numerous perforations therein in order to'see that thesame are properly tamped up. I I I Another object is to make a metal sleeper which can be economically manufactured so as to make it comparable with the cost of ordinary wooden sleepers.
Another object is to make metallic sleepers that will be durableand reliable while suffi- Still another object is to provide novel means for fastening the rails to the sleepers so that they will be firmly secured thereto,
' and which will enable the rails to be insulated from the sleepers, as-required in electric railway signaling systems.
In the accompanying'drawin s I have illustrated a sleeper and rail Fastener em bodying the invention, and will describe the same in detail with reference thereto; and summarize-in the claims the novel features of construction and novel combinations of parts for which protection is desired.
In said drawings I Fig. 1 is a top plan View of the complete sleeper; y
Fig. 2 is a side view thereof;
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1;
Fig. iis an enlarged transverse section on the line 44, Fig. 1, showing the rail'fastening devices; 1
Figs. 5 and 6 are enlarged transverse sections on the lines 5-5 and 6 6 respectively, of Fig. l; I
Figs. 7 and 8 are detail views of one of the adjustable rail clamps.
The sleeper comprises an approximately rectangular or oval casting 1 which isconvex 011 its upper surface and concave on its under surface, and somewhat irregular in cross section, the general contour thereof being illustrated in Figs. 2 to 6 of the drawings This sleeper has a central longitudinal'elongated 1927.

portion .lithe top of which is approximately horizontal; at the sides of this central portion the sleeper is curved downwardly as at 1, Fig. 5,and beyond these portions 1 the sides-extend outwardly and downwardly on a slight inclination, forming what I term side portions or wings 1".
The sleeper isstrengthened by integral ribs; As shownithas transversely disposed rlbs 1' on its upper side integral with the wings 1? and portions 1*. Intermediate the ribs 1 are pairs of transverse ribs 1 and .1
The sleeper is further strengthened by transversely disposed ribs 1? on its underside. The sleeper is also strengthened by integral reinforcing ribs 1 on its underside, see Fig. 6, which intersect the ribs. 1 as indicated. in thedrawings. I I V For the purpose of lightness the shell of the sleeper is preferably provided with nu- I merousopenings as at 1*, which also enable the workmen to see that the sleeper is properl 'tamped up. I
n the top of the longitudinal central portion of the sleeper are formed four seats A, B, C, D, extending in a line from end to end thereof, which'seats are adapted to receive blocks W of wood, fiber, or other sound deadening material which blocks are interposed between the seats and the rail It. These blocks maybe cut to fit the seats and may be of any positioned on the seats by projecting lugs 1 at the edge. of theseats, which may be of any desired number and may be cast integral with thesleeper. These lugs projecting from the to side of the plate as shown, prevent lateral isplacement of the blocks W when in place .on the seats. Transversely disposed "ribs 1 may be arranged between adjacent seats, as indicated in the drawings. For convenience in manufacture these ribs 1 may be the mouths of the gates through which the metal is poured into the mold to cast the sleeper; the gates are indicated by the dotted lines G in the drawings, and the metal risers or heads formed in the gates at the time of casting the sleeper can be readily broken ofi leaving the ribs 1 in place.
The pairs ofribs 1", and 1 are arranged transversely of the plates of the sleeper, at
about thelongitudinal center thereof and approximately in line with the central rib 1 intermediate seats B and C. The spaces suitable thickness, and they are I between the ribs 1 and 1 form pockets E, F through which the nuts can be inserted into the sockets 1 hereinafter referred to. The outer ends of the ribs 1 are preferably inturned as at 1, or otherwise formed to en the head of tie rods (not shown) such as are shown and described in my Patent No. 1,378,383, dated lilay 17, 1921; and by wnich the adjacent similar sleepers underlying opposite rails of the track can be securely bonded together.
in the top portion of the sleeper, adjacent the inner ends of the pairs of ribs 1 and 1, are formed openings or sockets 1 which are'preferably angular in cross section and tapered or larger the bottom than at the top. These sockets are adapted to receive angular-1y tapered nuts which can be inserted therein from-beneath by entering the nuts between the ribs 1 and 1 as indicated in Figs. 1, i, and 7. p
After a rail lit is mounted upon the wooden blocks il the opposite sides of the rail are engaged by rail clamps 2 (see Figs. l, 7, 8) which are polygonal, each being shown as four sided and having an eccentrically disposed opening 2 for the passage of a securing bolt 3, and each clamp is provided in its sites with recesses 2 adapted to receive the edge of the flange of the rail. The base portion 2 of the clamp is provided with interconnected slots 2 and 2 at right angles to each other, and parallel with the sides. Either of these slots can be engaged with a link 5 which is provided with holes 5 near its opposite ends adapted to register with the holes 2* in the clamps. In applying the fastenings, after the rail is in place on the wooden seats (see Fig. i) a link 5 is slipped under the rail transversely thereof, between he seats B and G and over the sockets 1*. Then clamps 2 are slipped on the ends of the links until the holes 2 in the clamps register with holes 5; then bolts 3 are passed through the clamps and plate and engaged with tapered nuts l which have been previously placed in the sockets 1 Then the bolts 3 may be tightened, by suitable wrenches, to bind the rail firmly to the sleeper.
In cases where it is desired to insulate the rail electrically, nonconducting bushings 6 may be placed between the nuts 4 and the walls of the sockets 1 in order to compensate for wear, or variation in width of the rail bases the openings 2 in the clamps are located eccentrically of the body of the clamp, as shown in Fig. 7-; and by turning the clamp 90 degrees the actual distan"e between the edge of the rail and the center of the bolt can be varied and consequently different widths of rails can be secured, or wear on the rails can be compensated for as these adjustable clamps enable the rail to be adjusted slightly laterally on the tie, and secured in such adjusted very strong; and also are easily adjustable to compensate for wear.
Preferably the nuts l are made of brass to prevent the nuts rusting to the sleeper, and to facilitate the removal or adjustment of the fastenings if it becomes necessary-to remove or. adjust rails.
The link ties the bolts on opposite sides of the rail together, so both contribute to prevent lateral displacement ofthe rail in either direction- I i It is not necessary or desired to use concrete to fill the sleeper, as it may be filled with ordinary ballast. Any ballast that gets under the wings of the sleeper will work towards the center of the sleeper, and keep it tamped up.
The tie is preferably perforated with holes about inch in diameter. This enables the trackman to see'that the sleeper is properly tamped up with broken stones; and the transverse integral strengthening ribs render the'tie very rigid and prevent its yielding or breaking in case it should not be properly tamped.
