UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD F. REYNOLDS, OF BRUCE, DAKOTA TERRITORY.
RAILROAD-TIE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,002, dated November 2, 1886.
Application filed May 7, 1886. Serial No. 201,481. (No model.) 1
' To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD F. REYNOLDS, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Bruce, in the county of Brookings and Territory of Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad- Ties; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to certain new and user improvements inmetallic railroad-ties; and it consists in the construction and combination of the parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings,which illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a metallic railroad-tie constructed in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 isa side view. 4
A refers to a metallic tie,which is made up of a single piece of metal, the central portion of the tie consisting of a series of V-shaped bends, upon the upper portion of which the base of the flange of the rail will bear. The side pieccs,a,of the tie extend above the upperedges of the V-shaped bends and are provided with cut-away portions b,within which the base of the rail will lie. One of the edges of this recessb is inclined, as shown at I), while the opposite edge is vertical, and adjacent to this vertical edge is pivotally attached a; hook or catch c,which may be swung toward the rail, so as to engage with the flange thereof. This hook is held in place when in engagement with therail by a pivoted dog, d.
It will be noted that a tie constructed as hereinbefore described will have a large bear-.
central angular portions, and that the notched portion of the side flanges of the tie will prevent lateral movement of the rail; also, that the rails may be secured to the tie bythe pivoted hook and dog, so that they will be held securely in position.
The tie hereinbefore described is preferably made of wrought or malleable iron, and can be readily rolled in shape. 4
The tie hereinbefore described, besides being cheap and durable, is simple in construction, and possesses more than the requisite strength for the purpose intended, besides having a certain amount of elasticity.
.I claim 1. The metallic railroad-tie herein described, having a central portion consisting of a series of V -shaped bends and upwardly-bent side pieces, a, the upper edges of which extend above the central portion of the tie and are provided with notches b, so as to prevent lateral movement of the rails thereon, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination, in' a metallic railroadtie having a corrugated or angular central portion, of upwardly-extending side flanges,a,having notches b, the base of said notches being on a line with the body portion of the tie, one of thesides of said notches being angular, while the opposite side is vertical, and means pivoted adjacent to said notches for holding the rails in position.
3. The combination, in a metallic railroadtie consisting of a central corrugated or bent portion, of upwardly-extending side flanges, at, having notches or recesses b, with angular sides b, hooks c, pivotally attached to the'side flanges so as to embrace the flange of the rail, and pivoted locking-dogs d, the parts being organized substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EDWARD F. REYNOLDS.
Witnesses: D. H. CAMPBELL, W. J. HENRY.
