ROBERT S SEA, OF SALVISA, KENTUCKY.
METALLIC CROSS-Tl E FOR RAILROADS.
SPECIFICATION iorming part of Letters Patent No. 354,250, dated December 14, 1886.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, ROBERT S. SEA, a citizen of the United. States, residing at Salvisa, in the county of Mercerand State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metallic Cross-Ties for Railroads, of'which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of a metallic cross tie with my improvement attached. Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the same.
My invention relates to metallic cross ties for securing the rails on railroads; and it consists in the combination of devices hereinafter explained and claimed.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to de scribe the exact manner in which I have carried it out.
In the drawings, A represents a metallic cross-tie of any well-known form or design, and provided on its under surface with the longitudinal flange or strengthening-rib a. Each end of the tie is provided with an enlarged head, B, which forms a chair or seat for the rails. The under surface of each head is provided with diagonally-arranged flanges b b, as shown in Fig. 2, for thepurposeof strengthening the head and holding it steadily in position. On the upper surfaces of the heads are the flanges c 0, provided with recesses near or other suitable means.
From this explanation it will be evident to any one skilled in the art to which my invention appertains that I am enabled to construct a cheap and at the same time a substantial cross-tie, and one that will afford a firm and safe seat for the rails.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
As an improvement in metallic cross-ties for railroads, the tie A, provided with a strengthening-rib, a, and the enlarged heads B, having on their under surfaces the diagonally-arranged flanges b, and on their upper surfaces with the flanges c d, in combination with the plates G, all constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
ROBERT S. SEA.
