UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANK R. PIPKIN, or GBEENFIELDQARKANSA'S.
RAILROAD-SPIKE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed October 6, 1919. Serial No. 328,839.
To allwhom z'tmay concern: I
Be it known that I, FRANK R. PIPKIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at (irreenfield, in the county of Poinsett and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad- Spikes, of which the following is a specifi' rectangular in cross-section. Instead of the usual head, a large plate 3' is formed on or secured to the top endof thespike. This plate is preferably triangular in form, and
the shank 2 projects from its apex end portion and at a right angle to its under surface, which is fiat. The plate is thickest at its apex end portion, and it tapers gradually from its apex portion to the other side 7 or end opposite to its apex portion.
A notch 5 is formed in the underside of stantiall signature.
the apex portion of the plate on the other side of the spike from the main portion of the plate. This notch fits over the flange of. the rail, a portion of which is indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The narrow end Patented Apr. 27,1920.
of the plate?) is preferably about three substantially twice the width of its narrowend, and the, plate is longer than its greatest breadth.
The spike is driven into the wooden cross-.
tie alongside the rail, and the flat underside of the plate bearsv on the top of the cross tie, and prevents the spike and rail from "being pressed laterally by the side pressure of the'wheel flanges of the wheels of the locomotive engines and' cars.
What I claim is:
In, a railroad jspike, a shank having a relatively long and. substantially triangular plate the narrow end portion; of which is secured to the top of the shank and which is substaritiallythree times as wide as the shank, thebroad end of the plate being subtwice as wide as its narrow end,
and sai platelhaving a' fiat underside of times as Wide as the shanln its broad end is i v relatively large area which bears on the tiewhen the shank is driven into it.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my FRANK R. PIPKIN.
