' e UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
MATIIIAS BERRINGER, OF CARRICK, PENNSYLVANIA.
METALLIC TIEV AND RAIL'FASTENER.
` srnolrrcnrlonformmg part of Letters Patentino. 694,716, dated March 4, 1902. Application-filed December 26,1901. Serial No. 87,139. (No model.)
To all when t may concern:
Be it known that I, MATnIAs BERRINGER, a citizen of theUnited States of America, residing at Carrick, in the countyof Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Metallic Ties and Rail-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to tend in opposite directions through the web of the tie; and the invention further consists in-providing a fastener comprising a male and female member which when Vlocked together form a chair in. which the base of the rail is seated and securely fastened.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of partsto be hereinafter more fully described, and specically pointed out in the claims. Y
In describing the invention in detail reference is had tothe accompanying drawings, forming ai part of this specification, and Whereinlike numerals' of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views, in
Figure l is a perspective view of the end of the metalllc tie n provided with my improved Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional' fastener.
view of the fastener. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view showing the rail in position. Figs.V
formed of achannel-bar having formed therein elongated openingsv5 5 and an inwardlyextending clamping member 6.
The reference -numeral 7 represents the male clamping member carrying the clampingportion 8 and the shank 9, forming the shoulders 10. In said shank portion is formed an lelongated slot 11. A similar slot 12 extends through the body portion of the female member.
The reference-numerals 14 represent the Wedge-shaped locking-keys carrying heads 15, said locking-keys extending in opposite directions through the web portion of the metallic tie, one of said keys extending through the slot 5, formed in the female member, and through slot 11, formed in the male member, and the other key extending in the opposite direction through the slot 12 andslot 3 of the metallic tie.
It will be seen thatY Whenvthe clampingv members are arranged as herein shown the Vends of thechannel-bar of the female mem- 6 and 8 will form a chair'for the baseof'the Y rail, preventing the rails from spreading or creeping.
Inlieu ofthe members 6 and 8 the male and female members may carry integral fishplates to form the rail-joint and will securely fasten the rails together.
YThe many advantages obtained by the usek `of my improved device will be readily apparent from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings. It will be notedl that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention. i
Having fully'described my invention, what i I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters loe 2. In a metallic tie, and rail-fastener, the
combination of a metallic tie formed of a male and female clamping portion interlockchannel-bar having openings formed through ing with each other, and means extending the web of said channel-bar, interlocking through said metallic tie and interlocking male and female members forming a seat for members for locking the tie and said interthe base of the rail, and Wedge-shaped keys locking members together, substantially as extending through said metallic tie and male described.
and female members tolock the same securely In testimony whereof I aflix my signature together, substantially as described. n the presence of two witnesses.
3. In a metallic tie and rail-fastener, the MATHIASBERRINGER. combination of a metallic tie formed ofa channel-barhaving wedge-shaped openings formed therein extending in opposite directions, a
