RAIL BRACE wI'rH TIE-PLATE.
' Application filed June 10',
This invention relates to improvements in a rail brace with, tie plate,'and has for one of its principal objects the provision of an anchor which will preventa track rail from creeping on the ties, or the tie from moving with respect'to the rail.
Another important object of this invention is the provision of an anti-creeper tieplate and railbrace, particularl adapted to be used at curved portions 0 railroad tracks or the like, whereby the tendency of the track to move in a succession of waves unde rolling loads is counteracted. 'Another and still further important object of this invention is means for preventing the spreading of rails, comprising a simple device to be used with the rails,
which will be economical of manufacture and which can be installed without altering the standard equipment of the railroad.
Other and further important objects of the invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the accompanying drawings and following specification.
The invention, in a preferred form, is illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter more fully described. I
In the drawings:
Figure l is a side elevation of the improved rail brace and tie plate of this invention, the rail being shown in section.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the device shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a partial sectional view illustrating a slight modification of the invention.
As shown in the drawings:
The reference numeral 10 indicates generally a standard rail having the'usual tie, associated therewith. In accordance,
12 with the provisions of this invention the rail 10 is to be mounted upon a. tie plate 14 formed of the shape and cross section best shown in Figures 1 and f2. 7 The tie is pro- 1 vidcd with integral downwardly extending wedge-shaped or pointed members 16 which are adapted to penetrate or pierce the upper surface of'the tie, thereby maintaining the tie plate in desired position.
The tie plate 14 has an upwardly'extending longitudinal integral portion 18 against which the lower fiangeof the rail 10 is adapted. to be positioned, and a suitable opening 20 shown in dotted lines in Figure 1926. Serial No. 115,126.
2, is provided in the tie plate 14 for the reception of. a railroad spike 22, the'chead of which contacts with that portion of the rail adjacent the ledge 18thereby maintaining that side'of the'rail in desired position.
The opposite end of the tie plate 14is formed with a depression 24 therein, in
.which is adapted to be positioned the rail brace proper 26 formed in the shape as shown in Figure .1, and of a size at the base to correctly fit the depression or notch 24.
The upper portion of the rail brace 26 is formed with an overhanging nose or the like i 28 which contacts with the web of the rail and is also adapted to fit snugly under the upper flange thereof, as shown in Figure '1.-
.A transversely extending slot 30 is formed in the members 26-28 into which the lower flange of the rail 10 fits, thus forminga'v locking arrangement which is further -se cured by means of additi'onalspikes or the like 22 passing through thetie plate adjacent the brace 2628 and fitted Into suitable openings'20. i A slight modification of the invention is shown in Figure 3 whereby a supplementary brace member 34 is positioned on the opposite side of the rail 10 andis connected to a. brace 26 similar to the brace 26 by means of a bolt or the like 36"passing through both braces and also through the rail itself.
It will be evident thatherein is provided an anti-creeper for rails and also a tie plate which will readily accomplish the purposes of its adoption, and will" prevent creeping of the rail'in any direction, and which will maintain the rails of the track in definite spaced relation.
I am aware that many. changes may be made and numerous'details of construction varied throughout awide-range without debase of a Width greater than one-half the width of the base of the rail, said base adapted to be positioned in a depression in the tie plate, said 1ast-named depression being parallel to the depression for the reception of the rail base and lower than the same, a longitudinal groove in the base of one of said braces for the reception of the edge of the rail base and means for locking the rail, the brace and the tie plate. into a 10 unitary structure on the tie.
In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.
'EMIL JOHANSON.
