ROBERT MORRELL, OF SUMMIT, NEW JERSEY.
RAiLROAD-TIE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,933, dated July 5, 18817.
Application filed December 27, 1886. Serial No. 222,552. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, ROBERT MoRRnLL, of Summit, Union county, New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Railroad-Ties, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists of improvements in combined wood and metallic ties for elevated railroads, as hereinafter fully described, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved tie with a part represented in a modified form. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan of-the same inverted. Fig. 4 is a plan View showing another modification, and Fig. 5 is a plan view of a short section of track with my improved ties.
The essential feature of the invention consists of two parallel metallic plates, (I, placed edgcwise upright a suitable distance apart with wood or other approved elastic bearingpieces I) for the railseats, secured between and to the plates along the end portions, thus making composite ties whereof metal employed for the tensile properties is disposed in the best manner for the requisite strength with the smallest quantity, and elastic beariug-seats for the rails are likewise contrived for the requisite purposes with the minimum quantity, and so that they can be economically replaced, and the wholeis constructed in very simple and cheap form. The side plates may be bent, so as to meet and be riveted and bolted together between the rail-bearing seats, as at c, if desired. I make flanges d on the lower edges of the plates for the better lodgment of the bearingseats, and may flange the upper edges over the said seats, as at c, if de sired. I also notch thelower edges and flanges, as at f, to overlap and connect the stringers g of the structure supporting the ties, and thus serve, also, for ties to said structure. I also notch the upper edges of the plates and the bearing-seats at h for seating the rails 2', so that they will be stayed laterally by the plates, butmake the notches in the plates deeper than in the bearing-seats, so that the vertical movement of the rails by the elasticity of the seats will not be obstructed by the plates. Fig. 4 and the corresponding portions of the other figures represent the whole length of the ties as required and as used on the elevated railroads for all the purposes of ties, extra timbers of greater length being employed for extension each side of the rails for sup porting the sidewalks for the track inspectors and repairers.
I propose to extend the ties for this purpose either by using elongated bearing-seats, as at j, or by extension of the metallic plates, as at 70, and thus dispcnsewith the extra timbers now used.
The plates a and elastic bearing-seats b are preferably connected by bolts 1 and nuts; but any other approved form of connection may be employed. When I extend the plates, as at 70, for the sidewalk, I will stay the ends of the plates and at the same time support the posts in of the guard-rail to the sidewalk by fitting the bases of the posts between the plates, as at n, and bolting the plates and posts together.
WVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. The improved railroad-tie, consisting of metallic side plates, a, and elastic bearing seats b for the rails,in combination, said plates being notched on the under side and overlapping the edges of the snpportingstringers for tying the supporting-structine, substantially as described.
2. The improved railroadtie, consisting of the metallic side plates, a, and elastic bearingseats b for the rails, in combination, said bearing seats being placed between the end portions of the plates and bolted together side by side, and the side plates flanged under the bearing-seats, substantially as described.
3. The improved railroad-tie,consisting of the metallic side plates, a, elastic bearing. seats b, and the sidewalksupporting extensions thereof, in combination, substantially as described.
4. The combination of the side plates, (1, elastic bearing-seats b, extensions L of said plates beyond the bcaringseats, and the sidewalk guard-rail posts at, said posts being fitted between and bolted to the plates and fornr ing stays to the plates,and the plates forming support for the posts, substantially as described.
ROBERT MORRELL.
