A TTO/Y/VEYS CLINTON O. DANIELS, OF GRANTS PASS, OREGON.
RAILWAY-TIE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 14, 1907.,
Application filed December 12, 1906. Serial No. 347,408.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLINTON O. DANIELS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Grants Pass, in the county of Josephine and State of Oregon, have invented .a new and Improved Railway-Tie, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to improvements in metal ,ties for railways, the object being to provide a metal tie of novel construction and so arranged that rails may be readily plalied and held in position without using s 1 es.
I will describe a railway tie embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure .1 is a section on the line 11 of Fig. 2, of a tie embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a plan thereof; and Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33 of Fig. 1.
The tie 5 consists of suitable metal and is arched upward, as clearly shown in the drawings, and on the sides are flanges 6 provided with holes 7 through which spikes may pass when the tie is to be secured to a wooden structure, such, for instance, as a bridge or trestle. A
Near the ends the arched portion of the tie is provided with openings 8 for receiving the rails which rest upon cross plates 9 bolted to the tie. The outer walls of the openings 8 at their ends engage upon the outer base flanges of the rails, as indicated at 10. At the center of the tie is a king bolt 11 which passes through an opening in the tie and its head rests upon an angle plate 12 bolted to the tie which will prevent the bolt from dropping out should the nut 13 thereon accidentally become detached. From the king bolt 11 rods 14 extend outward and then downward through openings 15 in the tie, the said rods being provided on their ends with jaw members 1.6 which engage with the inner base flanges of the rails on the upper side and the ends of said rods engage underneath the plates 9.
In placing the rods 14 in position, the plates 12 are to be moved to one side, then the bolt may be passed upward through the perforation in the tie and the rods mounted thereon, after which the nut 13 is to be screwed onto the bolt.
In removing a rail its connecting rod 14 is to be detached therefrom, then the rail tilted to disengage its outer base flange from the part 10 so that the rail may be lifted out.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. A metal railway tie having openings near its ends for receiving rails, a king bolt at the center of the tie, bars extending from said king bolt, through the tie and engaging at their ends with the under sides of the rail, and
jaw members on said bars for engaging with the inner flanges of the rails.
2. A metal railway tie transversely arched and having openings near its ends, cross plates secured to the tie underneath said openings, a king bolt at the center of the tie, bars extended from said king bolt through the tie and engaging at their ends with the under sides of said cross plates, and jaw members on said bars for engaging with the inner flanges of the rails.
3. A railway tie consisting of metal and transversely arched, the said tie having openings near its ends, cross plates attached to the tie underneath said openings, a king bolt at the center of the tie, a plate secured to the under side of the tie upon which said king bolt may engage, bars extended from the king bolt through the tie and engaging at their ends with the under sides of said cross plates, and jaw members on said bars for1 engaging with the inner flanges of the ram s.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CLINTON O. DANIELS.
