RAILWAY-TIE f Patei ted March 24;, 1908..
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, CHARLES M. PHIL- LIPS and CHARLES M. ROYER, citizens of the United States, residing at Middlebranch, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have jointly invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railway-Ties; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descri tion of the same, reference being had to t e accompanying drawing, maklng a part of this specification, and to the numerals and figuresof reference marked thereon, in which: Fi ure 1 is a ers ective view showing'a num er of ties place in roper relative position, also showing rails p aced thereon. Fig.
transverse sections of the rails and the rails Fig. 3 is a detac ed perspective view showin different parts of the tie detached from eac other.
The present invention has relation to railway ties, and it consists in the novel arrangement hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
Similar numeralsof reference indicate cor responding parts in all the figures of the drawing.
In the accompanying drawing, 1 represents the tie proper, which consists of a channel bar preferably formed of sheet steel, and of the desired strength for the purpose intended. Within the channel bar 1 are located the rail supporting locks which rail supporting blocks are formed of suflici'ent length to properly support the rails 3. The blocks 2 should be formed of such a length that they will not only support the railway rails 3, but of a length sufiicient to properly attach the rails to the block and the blocksto the bar, as hereinafter described, without danger of splitting the blocks. The blocks are connected to the bar 1 by means of spikes5, which spikes are of the same kind and practically one-half the size of the spikes 6 used for connecting the railway-rails to the block.
It is of great importance to provide means to prevent any spreading of the rails, and in order to prevent an movement of the blocks in an outward irection the angled end members 7 are. provided, which angled end members are s ecurelybolted or riveted to the side members'of the channel bar 1,
ends of the block 2, so that the strength of openings are preferably located as shown inthe drawings, and as shown one opening below each block and an intermediate opening between the blocks. I
It will be understood that by providing the blocks 2 and forming the same of wood the same advantages are carried out as to elasticity wherein the entire tie is formed of wood but by providing the blocks a great re-- brought about as to the use-of duction is wood.
It will be understood that the blocks 2 should extend a shortdistance above the channel'bars or ties 1 so that the railway rails will not come in contact with the top or up er edges of the channel bars 1 By prov1 ing the short angled end members 7 and locating them at the outer ends of the block 2 it is not necessary to cut the blocks to exact length and innew work it is not necessary .to remove any of the metal parts when it is desired to insert the blocks, but in repair work where' the rails have already been laid the end members 7 may be removed and the blocks slid under the rails after which said end members are securely connected by means of the bolts or rivets as the case may be.
For the purpose of clamping the wood blocks 2, so that there can be no movement endwise in either direction regardless of the side spikes 5 the inner angled'ilange members 9 are provided which inner angled flanges are adjustably connected to the channel bar or tie 1 by means of the slots 10 can be loosened and the angled members 9 adjusted back and forth so as to provide proper contact upon the inner ends of the locks in case they vary in length. After the blocks have been placedinposition the angled members 9 are snugly seated against their inner ends and the clamping bolts 1 1 tightened. Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent; is;-
