CHARLES \V. GARRETT, OF \VILKINSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
METALLIC RAILWAY-TIE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 781,718. dated February 7, 1905.
Application filed November 22, 1904. Serial No. 233,871.
To all whom may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES W. GARRETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at \Villtinsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of leimsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Railway- Ties, of which the following is a specification.
in its preferred form my improved tie is a metal T-beam having a flat horizontal head and a central depending web, the web being divided transversely at spaced intervals along vertical lines into sections which extend outward from the general plane of the web, the alternate sections extending in opposite directions and each section consisting of two flat members meeting at an angle.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of one end of the cross-tie with a section of a rail secured thereto. Fig. 2 is an end view of the tie. showing a portion of the rail in elevation; and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a portion of the tie, showing the rail and one of its fastening devices in section.
The tie illustrated consists of a metal T- beam having a flat horizontal head 1 and a central depending web 2. The intermediate portion of the web is divided transversely at spaced intervals along vertical lines 3 3, and the alternate we b-sections 4: r extend outward from the general plane of the web in opposite directions. Each section 4 l consists of two flat members meeting at substantially a right angle. The Hat head and the laterally-de- The plates 5 are secured by locking-plates 6 and bolts 7, the adjacent faces of the clamping and locking plates preferably being transversely corrugated.
\Vhile it is preferred to employ the construction illustrated and describe .l, the invention broadly contemplates the use of any metal beam having a depending web divided into sections which extend out of the plane of the web in any form. r
The tie is usually made from a beam of rolled steel, the sections 4 4: being punched out of the web. The tie may, however, be cast in finished form of iron or steel.
1 claim 1. A railway-tic, consisting of a metal beam having a head and a depending web, the web being divided into adjacent sections which extend out of the plane of the web, as set forth.
2. A railway-tie, consisting of a metal beam having a horizontal head and a depending.
web, the web being divided transversely at intervals into adjacent sections which extend outward alternately in opposite directions, as set forth.
3. A railway-tic, consisting of a metal beam having a flat horizontal head and a central depending web, the web being divided transversely at spaced intervals along vertical lines into sections which extend outward alternatcl y in opposite directions, and each section con sisting of two flat members meeting at an angle, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
