Application fi1'mune'2o,192s. Serial No. 286,757.
adjusted toward and away fromeach other,
to permit laying railways of different gauges.
Another object resides in-the provision of novel and improved means for attaching or securing the rails to the tie.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of a tie and rail fastening device, made in accordance with the present invention, one corner of the tie being broken away.
Figure 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view on the line 22 of Figure 1, a bolt being removed' e I Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view on the line 33 of Figure '1. I
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, there is shown a tie, represented as a whole by the numeral '10, and comprising the hollow body 11, formed with the longitudinal channel 12, extending centrally of the upper face thereof, and having the later ally directed, and longitudinally extending flanges 13. The flanges are provided with pairs of openings 14, to which reference will be made later herein. Attached to each end of the body 11, and at opposite sides thereof, by means of the rivets 15, are the end closure plates of he tie body, shown at 16. Each of the side walls of the channel 12 is formed with the series of notches 17f Disposed across the upper face of each end provided with openings registering with the openings of the flanges of the tie, to receive the 1 bolts or rivets 19 therethrough, for the purpose of securing such plates .to the tie. Formed on the intermediate portion ofthe lower face of each of the plates 18 is a block 20. the two opposite sides of which are formed with the teeth 21, which are received in the notches 17. Formed through'the said block portion 20, in a direction longitudinally of the tie, are the three openings 22, one end of of the tie is a plate 18, the ends of which are t the central one having a verticalfrece'ss'23, opening through the upper face of the plate, while the twoouter openings havetheir other ends correspondingly formed with recesses 24, but at sides opposite to that of recess 23. The upper face of each of the plates .18 is roughened, and seated oneach of the plates, f
transversely of the tie, is a railway rail 25. Disposed in each of the openings 22 is a bolt 26, such bolts being inserted in the openings from the recessed ends thereof,so that their, threaded portions extend into the cylindrical portions of said openings, and beyond the opposite end of the block portion 20, where a nut 27 is engaged thereon. The other end of each of the bolts 26 is providedwith a head 28 which snugly fits into one of the recesses 23 24. On this head, and rising vertically therefrom, there is formed the threaded stem 29, which projects upwardly through the portionof the recess which enters the'upper face of the plate. Engaged on this stem or stud 29 is a nut 30, the lowerface of which is. formed in conformity with the inclined upper face of the base of the rail, and is arranged to bear down on such base to hold the rail in position on the plate; This nut is of the castle type and receives the upper end of the key 31, which is vdisposed in the groove 32 of the stem or stud 29. The nuts which are 1 engaged on the threaded ends of the bolts 26 are similarlyprovided with looking features.
By means of the teeth and notches of the tie and plate, the rails may be moved toward and away from each other, in accordance With the gauge of the railway with which the device is being used.
What is claimed is:
1. A railway device comprising a tie having a channel, notches in the walls of the channel, a rail chair having teeth interchangeably engageable in the notches, means the side alls ofthe channel being formed with notches, a rail supporting plate disposed across each end portion of the upper face of the tie, each of said plates having a depending block portion provided With marginal teeth engaged with the notches oit the Walls of the channel, the ends 01 the plate being detachably secured to the tie, said block portion having a plurality of longitudinal openings formedtherethrough, one 10 ed stud formed on said head, and a rail base 5 engaging nut engaged on said stud.
in testimony whereof, I aflix my signature.
JOHN B. MASERANG.
