RAI LWAY-Tl E PLATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 691,332, dated January 14, 1902. Application filed May 3,1897. Renewed November 9, 1901. Serial No. 81,780. (No model.)
To all 1071 0777, it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN WOLHAUP- TER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Railway-Tie Plates, (Case F;) and I 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 pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
It has been found in the use of tie-plates for railroads that there is a material advantage in providing on the upper side of the plate one or more flanges on which the railbase can rest, so that channels or depressions are provided between the rail-base and the body of the plate proper. I
My invention has for its object the production of a tie-plate which while incorporating this feature of flanges on the upper side for sustaining the rail will have the flanges on the lower side so arranged and disposed that there is the least liability of the plate buckling.
To this end, therefore, the invention primarily consists in the provision on the upper side of a tie-plate of one or more flanges or projections for sustaining the rail and on the under side flanges for entering the tie parallel with the grain thereof, the flanges on the lower side being located directly or substantially beneath those on the upper side.
The invention further consists in the provision at each side edge of the plate .of flanges which project upward above the rail-base when the latter is on its sustaining-flanges to receive the lateral thrust of the rail.
The invention also consists in other minor features hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a tie-plate embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the plate with the rail shown thereon in section. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the plate, and Fig. 4 is an end elevation thereof.
In carrying out the invention, A represents the rail, and B what I will'term the body proper of the plate. Located on the upper side of the plate is a series of four upwardlyprojecting flanges C. These flanges are preferably, although not necessarily, flat on their upper edges, and their sides are parallel. On the lower side of the plate is a series of four tie-engagin g flanges D, extending parallel with and directly beneath the flanges C. These flanges D are preferably deep and narrow or .thin, so that they will readily enter the grain of the tie and become embedded therein. At each side of the plate the metal is turned up to form the flanges E, and the middle portion is extended out in a horizontal direction, as at E, so that a recess E is formed, in which the rail-base sets, the flanges E thus constituting abutments to receive the lateral thrust of the rail. If desired, the portion E when it is cutout of the portion E may be so shaped as to provide projections e, which fit over the rail-base and hold the latter from tilting. In addition to the flanges which I have just described I may, if I desire, punch outtriangular-shaped teeth F and'turn them down, as shown in Fig. 4, so that entering the tie they will help'the flanges D to prevent the plate moving along the tie.
It will thus be seen by the above construc-- tion that I have provided a plate wherein the railis sustained above the body of the plate by flangeson the upper side of the plate and that directly beneath these flanges are 10- cated the tie-engaging flanges, so that the weight will be sustained at the points where there is the greatest pressure on the plate. In addition to this I have provided the flanges E to prevent lateral movement of the rail on its supporting-flanges, and I have also pro= vided an additional means in the shape of the triangular teeth to prevent the movement of the plate onthe tie.
What I claim is 1. A railway-tie plate provided on its upper side with one or more flanges on which the rail may rest or by which'it is directly sustained and on the under side with one oromore tie-engaging flanges extending parallel with the upper flanges and directly beneath the latter, substantially as described.
2. A railway-tie plate provided on its upper side with one or more flanges on which the rail may rest and by which it is directly sustained and on the under side with one or more tie-engaging flanges extending parallel with the upper flanges and directly beneath the latter and sharpened to permit them to readily enter the tie, substantially as described.
3. A railway-tie plate provided on its upper side with one or more flanges on which the rail may rest and by which it is directly sustained, on the under side with one or more sharpened tie-engaging flanges extending parallel with the upper flanges and directly beneath the latter, and on the upper side with an additional flange or flanges extending above the plane of the rail-sustaining flanges and adapted to receive the lateral thrust of the rail, substantially as described.
4. A railway-tie plate provided on its upper side with one or more flanges on which the rail may rest and by which it is directly sustained, on the under side with one or more tie-engaging flanges extending parallel with the upper flanges and directly beneath the latter, and on the upper side with an additional flange or flanges extending above the plane of the rail-sustaining flanges and adapted to receive the lateral thrust of the rail, said flange or flanges provided with one or more projections adapted to project over the rail-base, substantially as described.
5. A railway-tie plate provided on its upper side with one or more flanges on which the rail may rest and by which it is directly sustained, on the under side with one or more tie-engaging flanges extending parallel with
