STREET-RAILWAY Til-:
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 448,005, dated March 10, 1891.
Application filed August 14:. 1890. Serial No. 362,037. (No model.)
T0 a/ZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLEs A. BEACH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Albany, in the county ot Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Street-Railway Ties; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of `my invention is to construct a strong and durable cross-tie for street-railway tracks and to provide suitable means for securing a rail-supporting chair to said tie. These objects I accomplish by substantially the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a plan View of a cross-tie embodying my invention shown in connection with street-railway tracks. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the parts shown in Fig. 1, taken on line l l of said figure. Fig. et isa perspective view of a modification of tie. Fig. 5 is a sectional side view ot' the end of across-tie, showing modification of means for securing the chair to the tie. Fig. 6 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 7 is a perspective View of a fastening-key. Fig. S is a sectional end View of tie, showing a turthermoditication of means for securing the chair to the cross-tie.
As illustrated in the drawings, A represents a metallic cross-tie formed of a channeled bar arranged with its open side uppermost and having vertical side lianges a. A rail-supporting chair rests within the open side of the cross-tie, and consists of a base-ange B, having a vertical web C extending therefrom in the direction of the length of the rail.
Locking-keys II are passed through slots formed in the flanges a of the tie, so as to bear against the base-flange B ot' the chair and prevent movement of the chair. Instead of this construction, however, a clampingplate K may be secured to the tie at one end by means of rivets, and the other end of the plate may bear against the base-flange of the chair, and thereby hold the chair firmly in position. l
The under surface otthe tie may be provided with a central longitudinal rib a to add greater strength to the tie, and this construction is especially adapted to be used where a single tie supports the chair, holding the meeting ends of two rails. -In such cases I prefer to make the tie wider than when supporting a chair holdingI the central portion ofV the rail. It is not essential, however, that a single tie should support the meeting ends of two rails; but two ties placed near each other may be used instead, if desired.
The rail E is shown provided with side flanges extending downward, and is secured to the chair by means of spring-keys lWI, passed through the flanges of the rail and the web C of the chair, as shown in Fig.
Vhat I claim is#- 1. The combination, with a metallic oross tie having its open side uppermost, of a railchair having a base-flange resting within the channel of the tie and a locking-key passed through an opening formed in the vertical flanges of the tie, substantially as shown and described. v
2. The combination, with a metallic crosstie having its open side uppermost, of a railchair having a base-ange resting within the channel ot' the tie, a locking-key passed through openings formed in the vertical webs of the tie, and a clamping-plate secured to the tie so as to overlapv the base-flange of the chair, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
. CHARLES A. BEACH.
