UNITED STATES PATENT rrrce.
PETHERIOK DAVEY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO A. REX, OF SAME PLACE.
RAILROAD TIE AND CHAIR.
$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 329,821, dated November 3, 1885.
Application filed March 28,1885. Serial No. 160,428. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PETHERIOK DAVEY, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Railroad Ties and Chairs, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a railroad tie and chair embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a top or plan view thereof. Fig. 3 represents an end view thereof. Fig. 4 represents a vertical section thereof in line :r 00, Fig. 1. 7
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
My invention relates to a railroad tie and chair formed of metal, which reliably holds the rails, and may be readily applied and re moved, and possesses other advantages, as will be hereinafter set forth.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the bed-plate or tie, in the opposite ends of which are openings B, and from which rise lugs O. D represents a yoke, which is adapted to encircle the lugs O, and E represents the rail, which is rested on said yoke, it being noticed that the yokeis of such dimensions thataspace exists on each side of the base of the rail between the same and the lugs O. Within said spaces are fitted the checks or clamps F, the latter also passing through the openings or slots B, and having their lower ends bent or formed with lips J, which hook under the tie A. The upper portion of the cheeks embrace the neck and base of the rails, and also sustain the head thereof. On the under side of the yoke D is a recess, G, through which is passed a key, H, said key also bearing against the inner faces of the portion of the cheeks contiguous to the lugs 0, said faces of the lugs being grooved to receive the sides of the key H, whereby by the action of said key in said grooves and the engagement of the lips J with the under side of the tie upward displacement of the cheeks is prevented. It will be seen that when the yoke is fitted in position on the lugs and the cheeks are located the rails may be fitted between the said checks; or the rail may be primarily placed on the yoke and the cheeks then applied in position, after which in either case the key is forced through the recess G and between the cheeks, so that the latter are compressed against the rail and firmly clamp the same. The yoke is also clamped to the tie, and thus vertical displace mentof the yoke,cheeks, and railis prevented, and as said yoke embraces the lugs O lateral displacement of the parts is also prevented. It is evident that by removing the keythe lugs may be loosened, and said checks, the rail, and the yoke removed, as desired. The lugs 0 may be punched up from the tie or formed therewith or attached thereto in any suitable manner, it being seen that a strong, durable, inexpensive, and comparatively indestructible tie and chair is produced.
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A railroad-tie provided with lugs rising therefrom, a yoke encircling said lugs,cheeks fitted against said lugs on the inner faces thereof, and a key, said key securing the cheeks and yoke to the tie and clamping the cheeks against the rail, substantially as described.
2. A railroad-tie having openings and lugs rising therefrom, a yoke encircling said lugs, cheeks fitted in said openings bearing against said lugs and embracing the rail, and a key which is passed through the yoke between the lugs, the lower end of the cheeks having lips which engage with the tie, substantially as described.
