UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE- JACOB BOOTH, OF REYNOLDSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA.
RAILWAY-TIE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 761,575, dated May 31, 1904.
Application filed December 13, 1902. Serial No. 135,073. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB BOOTH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Reynoldsville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Pennsylvania, have made acertain new and useful Invention in Railway-Ties; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the invention, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Figure l is a side elevation of my invention as applied. Fig. 2 is a similar view illustrating' a modified form of the'invention. isa plan view of one end portion of the tie with overlying parts "removed. Fig. 4 is a fragmentary plan View illustrating the use of reversible blocks to w. Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5, Fig. 1.
The invention relates to improvements in railway-ties; and it consists in the novel construction and combinations of parts, as hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, the letter a designates a railroad -rail, and I) the compound tie. This tie is composed of a body portion of brick or cement blocks or sections 0, a top or surface plate d, vertical bolts e, inset bottom bolt-plates f, and a longitudinal tie-bolt g. The blocks or sections 0 extend individually the height of thetie. The surface plate is formed with a recess-bearing it near each end to receive the base of the rail. This bearing portion is made the full thickness of the plate, and the brick or cement block 0, upon which the bearing portion of the plate rests, is shorter than the. other bricks of the body, being so made to ac commodate the bearing, while its lower end is flush with the bottoms of the other bricks.
The brick body is made secure and solid by means of the longitudinal tie-bolt k, which extends fromend to end of the body, its head land nut m bearing against the end plates 19.
Fig. 3
formed with oblique bracing-arms if, having 1 downturned end portions which engage transverse bearing-shoulders o of the surface plate and are thereby held firmly in position. The
clamps are secured by means of the vertical bolts 0, which pass through the body and through the bottom bearing-plates f and are fastened by suitable nuts. As the body-bricks are held securely by the longitudinal tie-rod these bottom plates may be'made short, being, however, long enough to receive the ends of the vertical bolts. These bottom plates are located under the rail-bearings of the surface plate.
Sometimes spikes may be used in connection with the surface plate to hold the clamps. Where the ties are to be used on curves, the bearing-recesses should be made wide enough for wedging up on the inside. In the body of the tie hollow brick may be used, except under the rail-bearings, and in .this way the tie may be made lighter and its transportation'facilitated. I p
A pad of cork, wood, or the like may be used between the iron surface plate and the 1 bed of the rail.
Reversible blocks w to may be used to adjust the rails toward each other when worn on their inner edges by the rail-flange of the wheel. 7
- Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is A Y A compound railroad-tie comprising the brick or cement body-sections extending individually the height of the tie, the top plate having the transverse bearing-shoulders, the short inset bottom plates, the vertical tiebolts or spikes connecting said top and bottom plates, the clamp-plates for the rails, the outside of said clamp-plates havingdownturned end portions in engagement with said bearing-shoulders, the end plates and the lon- JACOB BOOTH.
