RAIL-BRACE.
Be it known that I, ALBERT O. Buckles,
provementin Rail-Braces, of which the following is a full, clear, and'exactdescrip tion, reference being had tothe-accompanying drawings, forming part of this specifi- Figure 1 is a plan view partly broken View of the same applied to the rail; Fig. 3 is an end view showing a modification; and Fig. 4 is a section on the line IV- -IV of Fig. 3. I My invention :has' relation torail braces, a is designed to provide a rail brace W1. sh will possess a maximum amount of strength with a minimum amount of metal, the metal being so disposed as to efliciently resist the stresses to which the braces are subjected in service.
In accordance with my invention, I provide a rail brace, preferably in the form of a malleable casting havin a rail bracing member 2'integral with an rising from a arche hollow form, and is shouldered at its upperend as indicated" at 4 to fit underneath the head of the rail in the usual manner. In order to enable the brace to be mum weight, and yet possess the requisite .strength, I proyide the hollow brace mem' her 2 with an internal bracing or strengthening rib 5. This rib is preferably arrangedcentrally within theho low brace member, and extends from the top to the bottom thereof, extending inwardly from the outer wall or arch of the brace. By the provislon.
formed, inasmuch as of this rib, I am enabled to materially reduce the thickness and weight of the remammg portions ofthe. rail brace, since the rib adds very greatly to the strength of the brace and to its capacity for resistmg the stresses to which it is subjected. The base portion 3 of-the brace may be extended to form a tie plate portion 3, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, or this tie plate feature may be omitted, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. V V i In the combined rail brace and tie plate the base and tie plate portion are also preferably of reduced thickness, I preferably provide the spike holes 6 with the T-shaped reinforcing braces 7 at their outer edges, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, which gives a greatly increased bearing for the spikes.
The advantages of my invention will be readily understood, since it provides simple and eflicientmeans whereby the weight of the rail braces and the amount of metal required for their construction may be re- Specification of Letters Patent: Patented Apr. 26, 1910.

an interior bracing or strengthening rib;
