WHELOOK HUBBELL AND ASA J. ANNIS, OF SILOAM SPRINGS, ARKANSAS.
RAILROAD-TIE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 17, 1908.
Application filedM'ay 21, lacs; Serial No. 434,024..
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, WVHELoon HUBBELL and ASA J. ANNIS, citizens of the United States, and residents of Siloam- Springs, in the county of Benton and'State ofArkansas, have invented a new and Improved: Railroad+Tie, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
Theobject of our invention is to provide a-railroad tie, whichmay be constructed'of metalzor concrete and to whichmay be bolted a rail chair, lugs with sleeves being provided, the sleeves being adapted to fit the rail chair, and the lugs being adapted to engage the base of the rail to hold it in place, there being disposed between the rail and the rail, chair, wedge-shapedblocks of wood or other similar materialwhichnotonly serve as cushions for the rail, but which also may be used to force-the railinto alinement, the lugs being adjustable by means of their sleeves to hold the rails securelyin their new position.
Inthis specification we will describe the preferred form of our invention, but it will be understood that we do not limit ourselves thereto, as we consider ourselves entitled to all .forms and embodiments of the invention which may beheld to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
In the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar parts in all the figures,-
inwhich Figure 1 is a transverse section of rail showing it adjusted to one of-our rail chairs and to the transverse channelmember, the channel member and portions of the rail chair being shown in section; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, a portion being shown in sectiononline 2-2 .of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is aside sectionalelevation of the same on the line33 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing ourinvent-ion with a rail adjusted and secured in position for service.
By referring to the drawings it will be seenthat our invention is used with the ordinary type ofrail 1, and that we provide a transverse channel member2,which is adapted to-extend across the road bed from rail to rail. there being disposed in this transverse channel member 2a rail chair 3, which is adapted to fit securely the transverse channel member 2. Thisrail chair '3 has a horiapart to permit of the-baseof the rail-1 being adjusted therebetween. Each of the side vertical portions 5 has a vertical orifice 6 extending therethrough, this orifice being kept close to the intersection of the horizont'al portions 4i and'the verticalportions 5 of the chair 3, so that the orifices 6 will be open to the inner faces of the vertical-side portions 5.
e provide sleeves 8 with lugs 7 integral therewith, the sleeves 8 being adapted to fit the vertical'orifices in the side portions 5 of the rail chair, and the lugs 7 being adapted to extend through the openings in the inner faces of the vertical side portions 5 of the rail chair 3, so that the lugswill be so disposed as to-engage the base ofthe rail 1;
The transverse channel member 2 has openings 9' in its bottom, the centers of which are in alinement with the centers of the vertical orificesb, so that a bolt 10 may be disposed through the bottom of the transverse channel member 2 into the orifice 6 through the sleeve 8 to the top of the side portions 5, so that a nut 11 with awasher 12 may be adjusted to the top to hold the rail chair 3 and the sleeve 8 with its lug 7 firmly in the transverse channel member 2.
The bolt 10 may have its portion extending through the transverse channel member 2 angular in form, so that it may fit'the surfaces of'the orifice 9 in the transverse channel member 2, to prevent its rotation when the nut 11 is screwed home.
Between the horizontal portions at of the rail chair3 and the face of-the rail l'we dispose wedge-shaped members 13, which have their bases disposed at opposite ends of-the railchair 3 so that, when adjusted together, the angles being equal, the surface in contact with the base of the rail 1 and the surface in contact with the horizontal 'portion 4 of the rail chair-3, are parallel. These wedge-shaped members may be of wood or other similar material, so that they will serveas a cushion for the rail, and they also serve to hold the rail 1 in alinement by drivingtheir bases toward or away from the rail chair 3, which will cause their surfaces against the base of the rail land the horizontal portion & of'the rail chair 3 to be disposed at a greater or less-distance from each other.
In using our invention, the transverse channel member 2 is disposed in place on the-road bed with the bolts extending thereposition with the sleeves 8 with the integral lugs 7, disposed in the orifices 6 of the side portions 5 of the rail chair 3.
The wedge-shaped members 13 are then placed in position with their bases at opposite sides when the rail 1 is disposed thereon, the lugs 7 being disposed on the upper surface of the base of the rail. A washer is then disposed on the bolt 10 and the nut 11 is secured to the bolt. Should it be found that the rail must be raised or lowered, the nut 11 is unscrewed and the bases of the wedgeshaped members 13 are forced together or apart, as may be necessary, until the proper adjustment has been obtained, and the nuts 11 are screwed home, and the invention is ready for service.
