RAIL-CHAIR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 638,760, dated December 12, 1899.
Application filed May 81, 1898. Serial No. 682,145. (No model.)
To all whom, it nuty concern.-
Be it known that I, FREDERICK H. RAPLEY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Rail-Chairs, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a rail-chair that is made from pressed steel.
I will describe a chair embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a rail-chair. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of a modified form of chair. Fig. 4 is also a transverse sectional view of still another modified form of chair.
Similar letters of reference refer to corre sponding parts in all of the figures.
A represents the base of the chair, upon which the ends of the rail rest; 13, a flange extending upwardly from one side of the base, and O lugs orprojections on the base,by which the chair is secured to the ties. In Figs. 1 and 2 the flange Bis sufliciently high to serve as a means for supporting the bolts which attach the fish-plates to the ends of the rails. In Fig. 3 the flange B is not as high as the flange B of Fig. 2. In Fig. 4, in addition to steel.
over a female die and the male die brought down upon the sheet to press it. The parts of the die are of such a formation that the longitudinal sides are turned upward to form the flanges B and 0 without in any manner disturbing the metal which forms the lugs or projections O. In the form shown in Fig. 4 the flange O is machined or otherwise treated to reduce its height. In the forms shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the parts of the die are made so that only the flange B will be formed. After the blank is pressed into shape the lugs are out to receive an attaching-spike.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. A rail-chair of pressed steel comprising a base, lugs provided on the opposite sides of said base and intermediate the ends thereof, and an upwardly-projected flange extending from end to end on the side of said base, said flange being interrupted or cut away where the said lugs are provided.
2; A rail-chair of pressed steel comprising a base, a vertically-projected flange extend ing along one side of said base, cut-away areas within the ends of said flange, and lugs or projections formed upon the sides of said base, and corresponding to the said cut-away areas.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
FREDERICK H.- RAPLEY.
