SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 388,277, dated August 21, 1888.
T @ZZ whom it may 007106771,.-
Be it known that l, ARTHUR J. HARTFORD, 0f the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metallic Railway-Ties, of which the following is a full, true, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
The object of this invention is to produce Io an economical railroad-tie which is so constructed as to prevent,when ballasted, the longitudinal motion of the tie, thereby disturbing` the line ot' the rails.
y My invention will be readily understood from the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l represents a plan View ot' one of niy ties, showing the rails in position; and
Fig. 2, a eross-seetion through the same, showing the method ot'locking the rail in position. My tie consists, generally, of two parts, the
tie proper, A, and the tie-bridge B. The tie itself consists of a lat plate of iron turned up at the two extremities, as shown in section.
The tie-bridge consists ot a metallic plate,
preferably somewhat wider and bent into the form shown in section in Fig. 2. Considering one end of the tie-bridge, it is bent rst into a general S-shaped form at C and then the end is bent back upon itself, as shown at D. 3o This end tends, of course, to spring up when not held down by the bolt E. The rail is inser-ted by slipping its outer flange beneath the lip D,when the bolt E,which pierces both the tie and the tie-bridge and abuts against the outer flange of the rail, is drawn tight by means of the lock-nut F. This nut may be of any desired kind; but I prefer that patented to Hayward A. Harvey April 2Q, 1886, No. 340,308. The ,inner flange of the tie, as

shown, is locked beneath the S-bend at C. OI" course a lock-nut need not be employed, and for some purposes it is possible to dispense with the part A of the tie. The bridge B is shown somewhat broader than the tic A; but this is not essential. IVhen the ties are in position, the track is ballasted, and the ballast will pass beneath the bridge and prevent the longitudinal movement of the tie. I may likewise notch the outer flanges of the rail where they come in contact with the bolt E, as is 5 shown in dotted lines on the left of Fig. 2. This is not essential, and, it' used, need not be repeated at every bolt.
IVhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A metallic railway-tie which consists of a rnetallle tie-bridge extending from rail to rail and bent upward to prevent the approach ofthe rails to each other, and provided with a bolt beyond the rails to prevent their outward movement, substantially as described.
2. The tie-bridge B, bent at O, and again bent at D, thereby locking the rail between the bends ot' the tie, substantially as described.
3. The combination of the tie-bridge B, bent at O and D, and the bolt E, substantially as described.
ll. The combination ofthe tie A, tie-bridge B, and rail G, locked therein, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this speciiication in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ARTHUR J. HARTFORD.
