Specification of Letters Patent.

Application nea september 8,1905. serai No. 333.802.
To all4 whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN NIoHoLLs, a subject of'the'King of Great Britain, residing at Fayette City, in the county of Fayette and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railway- Ties and Rail-Fasteners, of Which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to a combined railway-tie and rail-fastener and its primary object is to provide a strong and durable Inctallicl tie provided with means for firmly anchoringit in the ballast of a road-bed and so constructed as to adapt it to receive rail-fastening devices. n
A further obj ect of the invention is to cornbine With the improved metallic tie rail-securing devices of 1m roved construction.
The invention wil be more fully described hereinafter in connection with the accompanying drawings, which form part of this s eciication, and its novel features will be' de 'ned in the appended claims.
In the drawings ,Figure 1 is aview in perspective of one end of a metallic railway-tie constructed in` accordance with the invention with rail-supports applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the tie with a rail and my improved rail-fasteners inposition thereon, said rail and fasteners being shown in transverse vertical section. Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of one of the rail-fasteners detached. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the tie with a pair of rail-clamps secured thereto, and Fig. 5 is a horizontal section of the same.
The tie comprises two o positely-disposcd angle-plates, designated by the referencenumerals 1 and 2, respectively. These plates or sections are firmly secured together by transverse braces 3, having their ends 4 bent at right angles and secured to the plates by bolts 5. .The horizontal flanges 6 and 7,l
projecting from the lower edgesof the plates 1 and 2, are separated from the plates atthev ends of the tie and bent outwardly to provide projections 8, and the upper horizontal flanges 9 of the tie-plates are oppositely recessed to provide slots 10, through which the rail-fastening devices are'inserted, as will be further explained hereinafter.
To-the outer sides 'of the tie plates or sections, at suitable intcrvals apart, are securelyI bolted angle-plates 11, disposed vertically and serving to embed or anc or the tie in the road-bed or ballast.
Each of the rail-fastening devices consists ,of a fish-bar 12 and a depending integral block 13, the latterbeing recessed on opposite sides -below the base portion 15 of the fish-bar to adapt said block to t the spaces between the inner edges of the upper horizontal anges 9 of the tie, While the body of the block its between the tie-plates, as shown.
To secure the rail upon the tie, the block 13 ofthe outer rail-fastening device is inserted through the adjacent slotted o ening 10 in the top of the tie, and said bloc and the fish-bar of whchit forms a part are moved outward to the position shown-in the'dr'awings. The rail isv then placed in position against the inner side of the fish-bar 12, after which the other iish-bar and its block 13 are applied in the same manner by inserting the block 13 through the slot 10 and moving the fish-bar and block into the position illustrated in Fig. 2, after which a securing-bolt 16 isV inserted through openings 17, formed in the blocks 13. The fishbars which secure the opposite rail are inserted through the opposite opening- 10 in the manner already described, andthe bolts 16, which secure the blocks oi' the fish-bars firmly in position, eX- tend through the end bracing-plates3 of the ties.
It will be noted that the -tie constructed as thus described is open throughout its length and is therefore adapted to be firmly embedded in the road-bed or ballast, and the projecting angle-plates 11, together with the end projections 8, til'mly anchor the tie in position.
By the employment of my improved railsecuring devices, comprising the o positelydisposed fish-bars provided with spendingl y integral blocks, the rails are securely hel upon the ties without the use of the usuall bolts and nutsextending through the web of the'rails. As best illustrated in Fig. 2, the oppositely-disposed ish-bars firmly embrace and clamp the base and web of the rail and rest below the tread thereof, providing a substantial and durable connection.
What I claim, and desire to'secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A metallic railway-tie com rising oppositely-disposed angle-plates ormed on their upper sides with registering recesses, in combination with transverse vertically-disposed braces bolted to the plates.
2. A metallic railway-tie comprising op- IIO positely-disposed' plates formed on their upper sides with registering recesses, in comlbin-ation with transverse vertically-dispositely-disposed angle-plates recessed on their upper side to provide transverse slots, in combination with verticallydisposed transverse securing-braces bolted to the tie .sections or plates, horizontally-disposed anges extending inward from` thel lower edges of the tie-plates and having their ends separated from said plates and projecting downward, and angle-plates secured to the opposite sides of the tie-plates.
4. The combination with a hollow metallic railway-tie formed on its upper side with transversely-disposed slots, of rail-securing means comprising oppositely-disposed lishbars, and depending blocks fitting Within the tie, and horizontally-disposed bolts connecting said blocks,
5. The combination withv a hollow metallic tie, comprising oppositely-disposed angleplates recessed on their upper sides to pro-V vide vtransverse slots, of transverse* end plates for said tie plates or sections, rail-,se-
curing means comprising oppositely-disposed JOHN NIcHoLLs.
