UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
RICHARD JONES, OF HOUSTON, TEXAS.
RAILWAY- RAIL TIE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,426, dated December 17, 1889.
' Application filed June 26,1889. Serial No. 315,628. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD JONES, of Houston, in the county of Harris and State of Texas,have invented a new and Improved Railway-Rail Tie, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of this invention is to provide a railway-rail tie by means of which the rails may be supported and locked to place; and to the end named the invention consists in the particular construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to behad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, in which similar figures of referenceindicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of a railway-track, representing the same as it appears when supported by my improved form of railway-rail tie. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view on line 0000 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line y y of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an enlarged plan view of one end of the tie. Fig. 5 is a similar view, parts being broken away, the construction employed in connection with the rail-joint being illustrated in this figure. Fig. 6 is an enlarged side view of one end of the tie, the rail being shown in section; and Fig. 7 is a similar view representing the parts as they appear when arranged in connection with a rail-joint, parts being broken away.
In the drawings, 10 represents a railwayrail tie that is formed with transverse re: cesses 11, andwith projections 12, which extend into the recesses 11, the arrangement being such that when the bases of the rails are placed within the recesses 11 and the rails are moved outward the inner faces of the projections will bear against the railwebs and bases, as is shown in the drawings. The central section of the tie-body is formed with apertures 13, which lead in from the recesses 11, and just beyond the apertures 13 there are transverse slots 14, which communicate with the apertures 13.
YVithin the apertures 13,1 place retainingblocks 15,0f proper contour to fit against the rail-webs, and these retaining-blocks I force to place by means of keys 16, which are passed through the slots 14, the arrangement being such that by driving the keys home the blocks will be held in rigid connection with the rails. To prevent any possible displacement of the keys 16, I aperture the ends of said keys, and through the apertures so formed I pass cotter-pins 17.
The ties are formed with recesses a, in the projections 12, and in case the tie is to sup-' port a rail-joint the retaining-blocks used in connection therewith are formed with proj ections 18, adapted to pass through apertures formed in the rail-webs and under the recesses a, as will be readily understood.
To prevent any lateral displacement of the track, I form the ties 10 with a series of transverse ribs or projections 20.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- .1. The combination of a railway-rail tie provided with a transverse recess 11, projection 12, the transverse slots 14, and the apertures 13, leading from the recesses to the slots, the retaining-blocks 15, fitting in the apertures 13, and keys 16, working in the slots and adapted to press the retaining-blocks against the flange and Web of the rail, substantially as herein shown and described.
2. The combination, with a railway-rail tie formed with transverse recesses 1 1,proj ections 12, which overhang said recesses, apertures 13, and transverse slots 14, which communicate with said apertures, of retaining-blocks formed with projections 18, and wedgingkeys, substantially as described.
RICHARD JONES.
