RAILROAD AND RAILROAD SECURITY.
filFEGIFIGATEON forming part of Letters Patent No. 687,100, dated November 19, 1901. Application filed June 28, 1901. Serial No- 61445- (N0 1 To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN N. YOUNG, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Alameda, in the county of Alameda, State of California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Railroads and Railroad Security, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views.
My invention relates to railroads; and its object is to produce greater security and economy in conducting railroad business and to aflord increased comfort and safety to passengers riding on such roads.
The principal feature of my invention is a foundational inclosure for railroad-rails to be held in position by spikes or such other appliances as will secure the purpose. It consists of a solid foundation under the rail. The edges of this foundation may turn upward and inward upon and close fitting to the bottom or base flanges of the rail, as shown in Figure l of the accompanying drawings, or they may terminate perpendicularly to the base and should be kept close fitting to the edges of the base-flanges of the rail. In addition to the foundational inclosure there are lateral extensions connected with this foun dational inclosure and extending a short distance around each spike, holding the rail in position. a
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a vertical crosssection through the rail and its connections. Fig. 2 is a detail showing a direct spiking of the rail through the inclosure and extension. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal horizontal section on line X X, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a plan View of a portion of the track with my improvement attached to it.
A is the rail.
a is the bottom or base flanges of the rail.
Bis my foundational inclosure. b is the upturned portion of said inclosure.
b is a drilled and countersunk spike-hole through the bottom of the foundational inclosure B and at or near its center.
G is the spike to be received by the spikehole I), the spike being driveninto the tie E or other foundation below and having its head formed to fit the countersink of b.
b is an extension of the foundational inclosure B, which extension acts as a reinforcement to the said inclosure and the inclosed spike D, as shown in the accompanying drawings at Fig. 3, and b is the hole through the inclosure b and its extension 12 to receive the spike D.
D is the lateral spike.
E is the tie or other foundation.
This my said foundational inclosure may be constructed of iron, steel, or any other metal or substance of suitable strength and durability.
Unless very great strength and permanency of track are required the spike-hole b and the central spike C for convenience may be omitted, as the lateral spikes D D are in my improvement reinforced by the extensions b which prevent these lateral spikes from yielding or bending, as heretofore, and consequently the rails from spreading.
It will be understood that I may make slight alterations in the construction of my invention without departing materially from the spirit of the same.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A railroad-rail foundational inclosure comprising a plate to rest under the rail-base and having side flanges to engage the side edges of the rail-base and lateral reinforcing extensions projecting from both sides of said inclosure beyond its flanges and provided with spike-holes intersecting the said side flanges to permit the spike-heads to engage the railbase.
2. A railroad-rail foundational inclosure comprising a plate to rest under the rail and having spike-holes at its middle inturned railreceiving flanges along its sides, and lateral reinforcing extensions projecting from both sides of said inclosure and provided with spike-holes intersecting the bends of said inturned flanges to allow the spike-headsto engage the rail-base.
