Abstract: 606. Seymour, J. S. Jan. 8. Sleepers and parts, arrangements of; sleepers, metal, and securing rails thereto.-Rails are secured to channel sleepers by clips and combined fish-plates and clips which engage the longitudinal flanges of a sleeper or of adjacent sleepers. The sleepers A may be of wrought or cast metal, with turned-in ends E which may be left with openings O for drainage, holes also being provided in the bottom of the sleeper. The rail may be inclined by curving the sleeper upwards at the rail seat, which may be depressed or notched to preserve the gauge, or lugs H may be provided to abut against the rail on either side, while the sleeper may carry two or more rails. The bottom of the sleeper may be ridged to resist shifting in either direction; this may also be prevented by stiffening-ribs G. The sides of the sleepers may incline inwards and the top flanges F may turn either in or out, with the clips inside, or between adjacent sleepers and on opposite sides of the rail, or they may be used on alternate sides. At the rail joints the flanges F may be tied by a crosspiece K, and at each rail seat they are notched to receive the clips C which are pressed into place. The clips may be first bent vertically as C<1>, Fig. 9, or horizontally as C<2> Fig. 10, with central V-shaped notches; or a clip m<1>, Fig. 11, may be used and bent over either hot or cold, and the lower leaf may be hook-shaped to engage a depending ridge in the flanges F. At rail joints, the upper leaf of the clip may be as long as the fish-plate D with which it is combined, and a plain fish-plate may be used on one side. The clip at or opposite a rail joint may be bolted to the rail. The gauge of the rails may be widened either by using inside the rail a clip with a closer fold, and outside a thinner clip, or by making the notches in the flanges K further apart.
