vEDWARD S. MOFFAT AND THEODORE G. VOLF, OF SCRANTON,
' PENNSYLVANIA,
RAILROAD-TIE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 472,901, dated April 12, 1892.
i Application filed October 3, 1891- Serial No. 407,609. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that we, EDWARD S. MOFFAT and THEODORE Gr. VOLF, both of Scranton, in the county of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Railroad-Tie, of which the followingY is a full, clear, and exact description.
Our invention relates to improvements in railroad-ties; and the object of our invention is to produce a tie especially adapted for all metallic railways, which tie may be cheaply made, quickly,adjusted7 and will support the track-rails in such a manner that they cannot shift and will have the necessary elasticity.
To this end our invention consists in a railroad-tie the construction of which will be hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar gures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a cross-section through the track on the line l l in Fig. 2, showing the tie in side elevation. Fig. 2 is a broken plan View of the track provided with our improved tie, and Fig. 3 is an end view of the tie with a section of the track-rail supported thereon.
The tie-barlO, as shownin thedrawings,con sists of a section of an ordinary track-rail, and it is provided near the ends with blocks 11, which restrmly upon thetie-bar and road-bed and -which have flat tops adapted to support the clips 12, which are bolted thereto, and the track-rails 13, which are held in place by the clips. Each block 11 is provided with lateral ribs 14, which prevent it from shifting, and the block is provided with a central longitudinalpassage-way adapted to receive the tie-bar 10, and the walls 15 of this passage- Way are shaped so as to t nicely around the tie-bar, and the tie-bar and block are held firmly together by the fastening-bolts 15a.
The blocks are made large enough to form a good bearing-surf ace for the track-rails, and
the under sides of the blocks, owing to the seen that the ties areextremely simple and cheap, as the tie-.bar 10 may be cut from an old and Worn rail, that they contain little metal in proportion to their strength, and that they may be quickly applied to a road-bed.
Having thus fully described our invention, we claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent 1. In a railroad-tie, the block 11, having a longitudinal passage through it shaped to receive an ordinary rail and having bolt-apertures through its side walls at the web, lateral anges 14 on its outer sides, and bolt` holes through its flat upper side to receive the bolts of the track-rail clips, substantially as set forth.
2. A railroad-tie comprising a tie-bar formed of a section of track-rail and track-supporting blocks mounted on the ends of the tie-bar, said blocks having lateral ribs and having inner walls adapted to fit the tie-bar, substantially as described.
