TIE-PLATE FOR USE ON RAILWAYS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 791,202, dated. May 30, 1905.
Application filed August 24, 1904. Serial No. 221,983-
T0 aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ARTHUR A. Mora, a citizen of the United States, residing at Summit, in the county of San Bernardino and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Tie-Plates for Use on Railways, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists in providing a beveled tie-plate for placement on the tie of a railway and under the inner rail on curves in the road-bed, so that when in place on-the tie and below the rail it will cant the inner rail under which it is placed into a vertical position, so that the tread of the inner rail will be directly above the center of the base-flange thereof, while the companion rail will incline slightly toward the center of the track; and the object of my invention is to provide a simple and reliable tie-plate therefor. I accomplish this object by means of the device described herein and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved tie-plate. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of a railroad-tie equipped with my improved tie-plate located under the inner or left-hand rail.
In the drawings, A is my improved tieplate.
A is that portion of the tie-plate forming the rest of the rail.
B represents an ordinary tie, upon which my tie-plate rests, and C represents the rails in place thereon. The tie-spikes D,which secure the rail to the tie, pass through the apertures A in the tie-plate. On the under part of the tie-plate I provide a number of longitudinal ribs A, adapted to penetrate the tie and hold the tie-plate thereon from lateral movement on the tie. In'Fig. 2 the position of the rails is shown. The dotted lines intersecting the center of the rails indicate the inclination of the rails on the ties. The rail C on theleft, being the inner rail, assumes a vertical position notwithstanding the tie B on which it is placed lies at an angle to a horizontal plane. This position of the rail is secured by my improved tie-plate upon which this rail rests, the outer rail 0 lying flat on the face of the tie, and therefore the tread thereof is inclined slightly toward the center of the track.
Having described my invention, what I a beveled upper face A forming a rest for a rail, the plate being provided with longitudinal ribs A on the under side thereof, substantially as herein described.
In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 13th day of August, 1904.
ARTHUR A. MOTT.
