METALLIC RAILWAY-TIE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 14, 1906- $erial No. 321,612.
Patented Jan. 29, 1907.
ments; and it consists of the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and subsequently claimed.
Reference may be had to the accompanying drawings, and the reference characters marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Similar characters refer to similar parts in the several figures therein.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a bottom plan view of my improved metallic railway-tie. Fig. 2is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a central vertical longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 4 is an end view of the same. Fig. 5 is a top plan view of a double form of tie embodying my invention.
The principal Object of the invention is to provide a cheap, simple, durable, and eflicient metallic railway-tie which can be built up from rolled metal shapes.
Referring to the drawings, wherein the in vention is shown in preferred form, 1 repre sents the body of the tie, which comprises an elongated plate of metal, preferably rolled iron or steel, having near each end a pair of lips 2, struck up from the body thereof, adapted to receive the footof an ordinary railway rail. (Not shown.) Attached to the under side of the body-plate 1 are diag onally-disposed angle-irons, one of which, 3, extends diagonally of the plate from corner to corner, while the shorter angle-irons 4 extend from the remaining corners of the plate diagonally to the longer plate 3. Each angleplate is secured to the body-plate by a plurality'of rivets 5, inserted through the bodyplate and horizontal member of the angleplate. The tie thus formed possesses great strength for a given'weight of metal and is built up of rolled metal shapes, which are easily sheared off in the desired sizes and easily punched and riveted. The depending flanges formed by the vertical members of the diagonally arranged angle irons are adapted to be seated firmly in the road-bed or ballast, thereby overcoming any tendency of the ties to slide or creep.
In Fig. 5 I have shown a double tie constructed in the same manner as the single tie above described, except that it has near one end two pairs of lips 6 struck up therefrom, each pair being adapted to receive the foot of a railway-rail, (not shown,) and the pairs being arranged in line with each other, so that the two rails thereby supported will be maintained in alinement with each other.
That I 'claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A built-up metallic railway-tie comprising a flat body-plate, and diagonally-arranged angle-irons riveted to the under side of said body-plate.
2. A built-up metallic railway-tie comprising a fiat body-plate having, near each end, rail-engaging lips struck up from the body of the plate, and diagonally-arranged angle-irons riveted to the under side of said body-plate. r
3. A built-up metallic railway-tie comprising a flat body-plate; a long angle-iron riveted to the under side of the body-plate and extending diagonally from corner to corner thereof and a pair of angleirons riveted to the under side of the body-plate and extending from theremaining corners, diag onally to said long angle-iron.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 8th day of June, 1906.
, JOHN J. MOORE.
