JOHN QUIGLEY, OF ST. JOSEPH, MISSOURI.
IMPROVEMENT IN STREET-RAILWAY TRACKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. l7l,422, dated December 21, 1875; application filed November 19, 1875.
To all whom it may concerns Be it known that l, JOHN QUIGLEY, of St. Joseph, Bnchanan county, Missou'i, have invented a new and Improved Combined Tie and Rail-Chair, of which the following is a specification: i
My invention consists of a cast-iron tie, with an elevated and b'oadened seat for the rail at each end, contrived to fasten the rail in the seat by a key. The broadened elevations for the chair are grooved or chambered in the sides, so that the earth or pavement of the road will pack in and hold the tie down securely. 4
The object is to enable iron to be used, instead of the less durable Wood, and to save the cost of fastening the chairs to the ties, and also to secure more permanent seats for the chairs.
Figure 1 is a transverse section of a rail way, showing a side elevation of my improved combined tie and rail-chair, the section being taken on line w .70 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a plan vew.
A is the tie, on each end of which is a wid- 1 ened and elevated seat, B, in the top of which is a chair for the rail G, the same being formed With dovetail sides D, for fastening the rail in it by a key, E; While the chair-seat is made suficiently broad on the bottom for a substantial base, and also broad enough on the top for the chair, the middle portion is chambered or grooved at F to economize metal, and also so that the road-bed Will pack and hold the chair steady and firm.
v Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters'Patent- The combined metal tie A and chairs B D constructe'd to fasten the rails by a key, and having the side recesses F, substantially as specified. i
