JAMES STANXVOOD PEIROE, OF PORTSMOUTH, NEV HAMPSHIRE.
RAILROAD-RAIL FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 464,180, dated December 1,1891.
Application filed July 6, 1891. Serial No. 398,545. (No model.)
it appertains to make and use the same, ref-V erence being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Myinvention relates to railway-rail fasteners, and has for its object to construct the fastener so that the rail will rest thereon and be clamped between the two parts of the fastener, and thereby prevented from spreading, the fastening being embedded in the earth beneath and on the opposite sides of the rail.
The invention consists in the construction and the combination of parts hereinafter particularly described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which- Figure l is a perspective of a section of rail, showing the manner of applying my invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the two parts of the fastener laid side by side in operative position with rail removed. Fig.
3 is a perspective of one section of the fastener.
In the drawings, the letter A designates a block or bar formed with a seat B for the base of the rail, an inwardly-extending recess 0 to receive the laterally-extending portion of the base on one side of the rail, the bottom of said recess being fiat and the top inclining to correspond with the top face of the base, and with an upright wall or shoulder D to bear against the web of the rail. The depth of the block or bar beneath the bottom of the base of the rail is such that it will set some distance down in the earth, so as to have afirm bearing that will prevent it from shifting or turning. In order to still further guard sides, ends, and bottom of the block against the earth, but also by the bearing of said anchor against thefirm earth lying against all sides thereof. The rail-fastening is constructed of two of these blocks, each constructed as just described. The blocks or bars are applied so as to lie on opposite sides of the rail and to be side by side. When so applied, they clamp the rail on opposite sides and hold it securely against displacement without the use of spikes or other like fastenings. v
The block can be made of iron or other metal, of fire-clay or earthy material suitable for the purpose, or any substance suitable for the purpose; but I prefer to make them of an artificial-stone composition composed of some good cement, two parts; clean silicious sand, two parts; gravel or rock or stone broken into small pieces, two parts; calcined lime, two parts; pulverized alum, one part, and silicate of soda or silicate of potash, one part, to which may be added porcelain, one part. The said ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, with water added, and then molded into the shape described.
The block or bar constructed as described and formed of the ingredients specified makes a strong and durable fastening for the rail, and it possesses the additional advantages of elasticity, stability, and economy, and increases in hardness and toughness from exposure and use instead of losing said qualities.
Having described my invention and set forth its merits, what I claim is- 1. The fastening for railroad-rails, composed of the two blocks set side by side and each formed with the seat extending under'the rail, the recess receiving the laterally-extending portion of the base of the rail, the shoula recess 0, and a shoulder or Wall D, substan- 1o der or upright Wall bearing against the web tially as and for the purposes described.
of the rail, and the anchor depending from In testimony WhereofI aflix my signature in the bottom of the block, substantially as and presence of two Witnesses.
5 for the purposes described. r
p 2. The block or bar for forming a railroad- JAMES SPANWOOD PEIRCE' rail fastening, composed of cement, sand, Witnesses: gravel or broken stone, calcined lilne, silicate DAN D. OALKINS, of soda or potash, and formed with a seat B, A. G. AVERY.
