METALLIC TIE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 660,866, dated October 30, 1900.
Application filed March 12, 1900. serial No. 8,259. (lilo model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY M. MUNTZ, a citizen of the United States, residingat Palmyra, in the county of Lenawee, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Ties; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertaius to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in metallic ties for railways; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out particularly in the claim.
The object of the invention is to provide a metallic tie which shall be simple, strong, and durable and in which the arrangement is such as to enable the tie to be produced at comparatively small expense and which has such formation as to render said tie selfanchoring, so as to securely maintain its position in the road-bed. This object is attained by-the tie illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view thereof. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a metal plank before being formed into shape. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the completed tie. Fig. 4 is an end elevation thereof. Fig. 5 is a transverse section through the tie after being formed.
Referring to the letters of reference, A designates the body of the tie, which is formed, preferably, of sheet-steel of the requisite thickness. The tie is first blanked out in the proper dimensions, as shown in Fig. 2. At the ends of said blank are the parallel slits a, extending longitudinally into the body thereof for a short distance, while the corners of the margins thereof are turned down. so as to stand at an angle of about forty-five degrees to the plane of the tie. At the ends the side margins c overlap the end margins d, as shown at 1), thereby doubling the metal at the corners of the tie and increasing the strength thereof.
This tie is placed with the hollow or concaved side downward, and because of the flaring margins thereof is rendered self-tamping, as the tendency of the earth is to constantly crowd upward under said tie, keeping it thoroughly embedded in the earth, so as to maintain it perfectly in position and at the same time render the earth under said tie hard and firm, affording said tie at all times a proper support.
Because of the fact that the blanks from which the ties are formed are split. or slotted at the ends said ties can be shaped by means of suitable dies and presses, obviating the more expensive machines for rolling said ties into shape.
Having-thus fully set forth this invention, what is claimed is A railway-tie consisting of a metallic plate having parallel slots out in the opposite ends thereof and having its margins bent downward at an angle to the plane of said tie, the side margins at the corners overlapping the end margins, as shown at 6, thereby doubling the metal at the corners of the tie, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. In testimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
HENRY M. MUN'lZ.
