RAILROAD-SPIKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 592,222, dated October 19, 1897.
Application filed November 6, 1896. fierial No. 611,272. (No model.)
T0 on whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN CALVIN BEEKMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tarpon Springs,in the county of Hillsborough and State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad-Spikes,
of which the following isa full and complete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to railway and similar spikes; and the object thereof is to provide an improved spike of this class which is so constructed that when driven into a railway tie or other article itwill be locked therein.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of whichthe accompanying drawings form a part, in which like letters of reference designate the same parts wherever found throughout both views, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective .view of my improved spike, and Fig. 2 a longitudinalsecspike is divided into two similar halves or parts E, and at the upper end of the slot D is a downwardly-directed wedge-shaped projection G, and the lower ends of the separate parts or halves E of the spike are be'veled or sides E thereof are curved outwardly and form hooks by means of which the spike will be socurely held in the tie, and the downwardlydirected wedge-shaped projection G, at the upper end of the slot D, is designed to enable the solid upper portion of the spike to penetrate the tie, as will be readily understood.
The cut-away portions M on the outer sides or surfaces of the lower ends of the separate parts or sides E of the spike are not essential, but I prefer to form the ends of the separate sides E of the spike in this manner in order to enable the cutting edges K to more easily penetrate the wood of thetie.
My improved spike is simple in construction and operation, and is well adapted to acthe lower part into two parts E, thereby form- 7 ing spikes, a wedge-shaped projection G, provided with a cutting edge the lower ends of said spikes being beveled on the inner side thereof as shown at H thereby forming cutting edges K, and the outer sides thereof being cut away as shown at M, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoi11g as my invention I have signed my name, in pres-' ence of the subscribing witnesses, this 23d day of October, 1896.
JOHN CALVIN BEEKMAN.
