RAILWAY-Tie PLATE.
Patented June 5, 1906.
Application filed October 2,'1905. Serial No. 284,210.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. DUKE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Powder Springs, in the county of Cobb and State of Georgia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Railway Tie Plates, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to railway-tie plates; and its primary object is to provide metallic plates designed to be positioned u on the upper surfaces of the ordinary woo en ties-and to receive and prevent the spreading of the rails, the plates also servin to protect the Wooden ties, and thereby ad life thereto.
A further obiect of the invention is to-provide the metallic tie-plates with engaging means which serve to retain the plates in applied position upon the wooden ties during the assembling of the rails.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts here inafter fully described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, where- 111- Figure 1 is a top plan view of the fragmentary portion'of arailWay-rail,illustrating the application of my improved metallic tieplates to the ordinary Wooden ties. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of one of the metallic tieplates. Fig. 3 is a view in side elevation thereof, and Fig. l is a sectional view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings by reference numerals, 1 designates Wooden ties of the usual form and construction, 2 my im roved metallic tie-plates, and 3 railway-rai s, also of the usual form and construction.
The tie-plates are made of any suitable material and are of a length and'width e ual to that of the ordinarywooden ties. T e opposite ends of the tie-plates are increased in thickness, as at 4, to provide undercut shoulders'5, against which abut .the outer ed es of the bases of the rails, whereby the rai s are prevented from spreading. The portions 4 are provided with recesses 6, which extend throughout the entire thicknesstllereof and terminate in openings passing through the ing their displacement.
tielates. Other openings 7 are provided in t e tie-plate at a point removed from the The ordinary wooden ties are first laid, and
the upper faces thereof, the prongs 9 prevent- The shoulders 5 are spaced apart a sulficient distance so that when the outer edges of the rails are brought thereagainst the rails are spaced a art their usual istance,-thereby avoiding t e necessity of the use of the gage usedin roperly assembling the rails. After the rai s have been thus positioned the s ilres 8 are driven, which not only secure t e rails in applied position, but also serve to retain the tie-plates in roper relation with the ties.
' he tie-plates not only provide an excellent bearing-surface for the rails, but also prevent the ties from decaying, as the upper surfaces thereof are fully protected from the elements b the lates.
Having lly escribed and illustrated my invention, What I claim is A tieplate provided at each end with a thickened portion having an undercut shoulder to engage the outer edge of the base of the rail, an opening located inwardly from said shoulder for the passage of a spike to en ga e the inner edge of the base of the rail, spl e-opemngs beneath the shoulder, re cesses 1n the shoulder communicating with said ,s ike-openin s, and spurs from t e bottom 0 theplate at eac end outwardly beyond said thickened portions, substantially as described.
