RAILROAD-RAIL-SUPPORTING STRUCTURE.
Application filed April 16, 1928.
The present invention relates to a railroad track rail supporting structure and has for its prime object to provide an improved assembly of ties for securing the rails in a fixed parallel relation to each other so as to etfeotively prevent the spreading of the rails and to strengthen the structure thereof.
Another very important object of the 111- vention resides in the provision of a structure of this nature which is comparatively simple, very strong and durable, thoroughly efiicient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.
With the above and numerous other ob jects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in ce r tain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a fragmentarytop plan view of a railroad track mounted on my supporting structure,
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof,
Figure 3 is an end elevation thereof,
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 1,
Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of the ties, and,
Figure 6 is a perspective view of one of the shock absorbing plates.
Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the ties are denoted generally by the letters T. Each tie is constructed of H-beam formation to provide a connecting web 5 with top and bottom plates 6 and 7 respectively. The intermediate portion of each tie is denoted specifically by the letter a and is disposed diagonally to the rails R while the end portions Z) aredisposed at right angles thereto and in offset parallelism to each other. These end portions 6 are provided with ribs 8 and 9 one being disposed intermediate the ends of one end portion and the other at the juncture of the other end portion with the intermediate portion. These ribs 8 and 9 are on the upper plates 6. The ties Serial- No. 270,370.
are arranged as illustrated to advantage in Figure 1 with two of the ends 6 in abutment and two in spaced parallelism considering one pair of the ties only so that shook absorbing plates 10 may rest across the abutting ends 6 to support a rail thereon between ribs 8 and 9 and suitable fish plates 11 will be disposed between these ribs 8 and 9 and bolted as at 12 to these ends and bracing the webs and ball of the rail in the usual well known manner. Thus it will be seen that spreading of the rails is eliminated to a great degree. It will also be seen that the rails may be easily and quickly assembled on the ties and since the ties may be constructed of metal such as steel, cast iron or the like, the supporting structure for the rail will be ex ceedingly durable and strong.
It is thought that the construction, utility, and advantages of the invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof. The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in detail merely by way of example since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.
It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is A railroad tie including an elongated straight intermediate portion merging into obtusely disposed end portions in respect thereto, said end portions being disposed inspaced parallelism, said tie being I'd-shaped in cross section and having a pair of ribs transversely across the upper surface thereof, one intermediate the ends of one end portion, and the other at the juncture of the other end portion with said intermediate portion.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
NORMAN L. TILLEY.
