Description
UNITED STATES PATENT lQEEIGE AUGUSTE J. LEVQUE, OF BLANGEZ SUR BRESLE, FRANCE.
IMPROVEMENT IN R-AILWAY-TIES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 172,8-61, dated February 1,1876 v application filed Augst 12, 1815.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that l, AUGUSTE JULES JUNIUs LEVQUE,`of Blangez sur Bresle, in the Republic of France, have invented an Improved Railway-Sleeper, ot' which the following is a specification This invention consistsin the employment of unhewn timber or logs, with or without the bark, of small diameter for making railwaysleepers, and in connecting them at their lower part with base-plates and at their upper part with the rails.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a plan, showing my improved sleeper with arail applied thereto; Fig. 2, a transverse section, and Figt a longitudinal section of same.
Similar letters in all the figures represent t similar parts.
B is the sleeper, ot' unhewn wood, recessed on its under side so as to receive the two wooden base-plates D placed in a line under the rails. These plates-are. connected to the sleeper by means of the bolts E, and serve to replace the eramp-irons by which the rail is usually xed. These bolts are not placed in the same line, but askew, so as not to weaken the sleeper. Theyare united together by a flat band, F, and fixed by two' screw-nuts', G.
These nuts have holes H, toallow of their being turned by meansof a key provided for the purpose. When the nuts are tightened, a pin, I, is driven into one of these holes, and which pin, coming against the edge of the rail7 will prevent the nut coming unscrewed.
Iv have described my improved sleeper in combination with a rail having a single iiange;
but it will be easily understood that a rail .having a double flange and placed on a chair AU. LEVEQUE. Witnesses:
