To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ,CHARLEs I. DEANE, a citizen of the United States, residing at W'alla WValla, in the county of Walla Walla and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in; Piles, of which-the following is a specifi,

cation.

This invention relates to piles which are formed of reinforced concrete, and its object is to provide a pile which can be easily and cheaply constructed, and which is strong and durable.

In order that the invention maybe better understood, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan. view of a pier or dock, partly broken away, showing the method of using the piles. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the pier or dock, partly broken away. Fig. 3 is an elevation-of one of the piles. Fig. 4 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the pile, partly in section. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section of the metal reinforcing core of the pile. Fig. 7 is a sectional view of a modified form of driving shoe.

Referring specifically to the drawings, my improved pile comprises a central steel or other metallic core 10 in the form of a tapered tube of suitable length according to the desired length of the'pile, and a shell 11 of concrete in which said core is embedded. The pile tapers in the direction of its lower end as usual. If desired, the concrete shell may have a suitable reinforcing element 12.

The pile has a head 13 comprising a steel ring which is riveted or otherwise rigidly fastened to the upper end of the core 10 and encircles the same. The head has a bottom recess 14 formed by providing the ring with an annular flange 15 surrounding the same in spaced relation and. concentrically.

The bottom of the pile is armed with a steel driving shoe 16 which latter is solid and substantially conical. The shoe has a top recess 17 at the center of which is an upstanding threaded stud 18 which is screwed into the lower end of the core 10,

The recess 17 tapers inwardly and the lower. end of the core seats squarely on the floor.

that a portion of the recess left open to receive the concrete material at ,the bottom o the pil In h s m manner, th material at the ,top of the pile upthe recess 14. Thus, a support for the concrete at the end o the p i lead, and-th s el o th material surrounding the core 10 'is' rmly held and braced. The shell is flush with the outer surface of the shoe 16.

At 18' are shown eye-bolts which may be screwed into the core 10, and they project from the surface of the pile a sufiicient distance to permit the attachment of stays 19 and lateral bracing rods 20 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The pile will be made complete, ready for driving, and it may be driven in the usual manner, as any ordinary pile. If the jet system is used, the shoe 16 will have a vertical aperture 21 extending entirely through the same, as shown in Fig. 7 to afford an outletat the point of the shoe. If the pile is not to be jetted, the core 10 need not be tubular, but may be solid. If a tubular core is. employed, the same may be filled with concrete, after the pile has been driven, leaving enough of the core unfilled at the top to permit the insertion of a post 22 for the attachment of the connections 23 shown in Figs. 1 and 2. This post is of such size that a railing post may be secured to it if required.

Figs. 1 and 2 show how the pile may be employed in a pier'or dock structure, and the system of stays and bracing employed.

The pile herein described is adapted for' foundations, piers, docks, or any other construction requiring a system of piles, and by its use the cost of the construction is lowered without lessening the efliciency of any of its parts.

I claim:

1. A pile comprising a metallic core, a head permanently fastened to the upper end of the core, a driving shoe permanently fastened to the lower end of the core, and a concrete shell rigidly attached to and sur- .rounding the core between the head and the shoe the head covering the upper end of the concrete shell, said core, and its head and shoe being permanently incorporated in and forming a part of the pile and the means whereby the pile is driven.

2. A pile comprising a metallic core, a. ring fastened to and encircling the, core at the top thereof and having a flange surrounding the ring in spaced relation, and a concrete shell rigidly attached to and surrounding the core and filling at its upper end the spacebetween the aforesaid ring and its flange, said core being permanently inporporated in and forming a part of the pi e.

3. A pile comprising a metallic core, a

ring fastened to and encircling the core at the top thereof, and having a flange surrounding the ring in spaced relation, a driving shoe fastened to the lower end of the core. and a concrete shell rigidly attachedi CHARLES I. DEANE.
