CONCRETE RAILROAD-TlE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 12, 1905,
Application filed March 29, 1905. Serial No. 253.378.
T0 at whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHA RLES PELMULDER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grant City, in the county of Sac and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Concrete Railroad-Tie, of which the following is a specification.
My object is, first, to prevent the dangers,
accidents, and loss of life incident to the decay of wooden railway-ties and the consequent loosening of track-rails; second, to provide ties made of concrete that will not decay; third, to reinforce the concrete ties by means of metal embedded therein; fourth, to combine adjustable metal clamps with the end portions of the concrete ties for detachably fastening track-rails on the ties.
My invention consists in the concrete tie and the metal embedded therein and the adjustable rail-clamps combined therewith, as hereinafter set forth ,pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view of the tie, partly in section, that shows the positions of the embedded metals and the adjustable rail-clamps relative to each other and the concrete tie and a rail fastened thereon at one end portion of the tie. Fig. 2 is a top view of the tie and rail fixed thereon. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1 and shows how the rail-clamps are connected with the top plate. Fig. 1 is an end view of the tie, partly in section, that shows the metal plate that serves as a rail-chair provided with flanges at its parallel sides. Fig. 5 is a perspective view that shows the manner of combining the two metal plates to place them in the mold to be embedded in the concrete.
The numeral 10 designates the concrete tie, that may vary in length, thickness, and weight, as required to be adapted for wide or narrow gage railways, and formed in a suit I able mold.
Having thus set forth the purposes of my invention and its construction and manner of use, the practical utility thereof will be obvious to railroad men and persons familiar with the art to which it pertains.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a concrete railway-tie, a metal plate embedded in its bottom portion, a corresponding plate, provided with longitudinal slots in its end portions, embedded in the top portion and means for connecting the two plates.
2. A concrete railway-tie, having a metal plate embedded in the bottom part of its end portion, bolts fixed in the plate to project upward and a second plate fixed to the tops of the bolts and embedded in the top surface of the tie and a box fixed to the under side of the second and upper plate to inclose the head of a bolt, in the manner set forth.
3. A concrete railway-tie having a metal plate embedded in the bottom part of its end portion, bolts fixed in the plate to project upward, a second plate fixed to the tops of the bolts and embedded in the top surface of the tie, a box fixed to the under side of the second and upper plate, slots in the end portions of the second and upper plate, a bolt extended up through the slot and provided with a square head to engage the box on the under side of the plate and rail-clamps adjustably connected with the top of the plate by means of the bolts in the manner set forth.
4. A concrete railway-tie having two metal plates embedded in each end at its top and a cavity between the plates, as shown and described.
5. A railway tie comprising a concrete main, portion, metal platesembedded in the bottom of its end portions, bolts fixed in the plates to project upward, metal plates fixed to the tops of the bolts and embedded in the top surface of the tie and connected by a metal bar embedded in the tie, boxes fixed to the under sides of the top plates, bolts extended from the boxes up through slots in the plates, and rail-clamps adjustably connected with the plates by means of the bolts,
set forth, for the purposes clamps adjustably connected with the plates by means of the bolts and metal plates embedded in parallel position in the top and end portions of the tie and cavities between the plates, in the manner set forth for the purposes stated.
