SHE PIKE.
Patented Dec. 19, 1893,

GEORGE W. FISHER, OF PAULDING, OHIO, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO BENJAMIN DE MOND, OF SAME PLACE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 511 ,236, dated December 19. 1893.
Application filed September 25, 1893. Serial NQASBABG. (llo model.) i
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE W..FIsHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paulding, in the county of Paulding and State of larged rectangular or neck portion, heads at the upper and lower portion of the neck having side extensions, and the under side of each head, being inclined whereby the spike may be used as a double headed spike, or as a single spike, the inclines of the head being adapted to closely fit on the foot of the rail.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which'- Figure l is a side elevation of an improved spike. Fig. 2 is a view at right angles to Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a topview of the spike. Fig. 4 is a view of the spike in use as asingle headed spike,and Fig. 5 is a similar view of the spike in use performing the function of a double headed spike.
The body of the spike shown at A, may be of the ordinary form and may be constructed of any suitable metal, and in any well known manner. At the upper end of the body portion A is located the lower head B, above which projects the portion A of the spike, which in turn is surmounted by the upper head O. This portion A is of the same thickness as the bodyof the spike, but slightly exceeds it in width, it being rectangular in cross-section instead of square as the body of the spike. As will be observed from the drawings, the heads occupy three faces of the spike, while the fourth space a is left pert'ectly plain. The heads are in the form of flanges which project slightly from the sides of the spike as shown at ct, and extend out much farther on the side opposite the plane face a, and the flanges have the inclined under faces a to rest on the upper face of the foot of a rail.
It will thus be seen that my spike can be used as a single headed spike, as shown in Fig. 4., or as a double headed spike as shown in Fig. 5, the under face of each head being inclined to fit against the upper face of the foot of the rail and this is a feature of great importance. Also the spike is made larger at the neck which makes the spike stronger at that point where the blows are received. The side extensions strengthen the head and they could also serve to hold down objects should the other heads or flanges become damaged or broken,
I claim-.
Aspike havingasquare shank, anenlarged rectangular or neck portion above the shank, and heads or flanges at the upper and lower ends of the neck portion having their under faces inclined to correspond with the upper inclined face of the foot of a rail; whereby the spike may be used as a single or double headed spike, in the manner described.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE WV. FISHER.
