J. E. VOEGTLIN. RAILWAY RAIL PASTENER. APPLICATION FILED JAN. 24, 1912.
Patented Mar. 11, 1913 TED; .i l ems vessels, or FORT warren. Emmanuel.
RAILWAY-RAIL FESTEHEH.
Specification of Letters Patent,
or disengagement from the, tie.
Other objects will appear and be. better understood from that embodiment of my invention of which the following is a specification, reference being. had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, in which; I
Figure 1 is a side elevation partly in section of the device. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1 in the di rection of the arrow. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. i is a sectional detail of a modified, form of device.
. The cross tie a may be formed of any suitable material such as metal, and may be in one piece, or as shown in the drawings it may consist of section's 5 and 6 the a.dja-- cent ends of which are flanged as indicated at 7 a 1d connected. by means of bolts 8. The sections 5 and 6 may be hollow or as shown in Fig. 1, thesesections may be formed with recesses 9'-9 which open through the upper faces 10-10 of the sections.
As shown in Fig. 1 the basejportions 11-] 1 of the adjustable clamps b--h extend into the recesses 9-4), while the engaging 01" upper faces 10-40 and are adapted for embracing a. portion of the base flange 13 of the rail 14, the opposite portion of the said base flange of the rail being embraced by the jaws 15-15 formed with or otherwise secured to the upper faces 10-40. The adjustable clamps 6-?) are secured by means of tapered pins 16-46 which pass through lateral openings in the sections 5 and (i, and through the base portions 11-l1 of the ad.- justable clamps b, the wider ends of the said pinsbeing of great-l ir area the openings in the sections ii and. 6 so as to prevent the said widened ends through the sections. The pins are secured by any preferred fastening means such as nuts LT-.4? screwed-onto the cylindrical end portions of the pins which are passed ,through the openings of the tie'and base portions 11-1l. When the pins are removed longitudinally in therecesses 9 to movethe jaws 12 12 om engagement with the base flange 13., a his will. also be the positions of the ad'jiwtable. clamping members 25 before the rails are placed upon the tie. It will be observedthat the jaws 12-12 and lfi15 are shaped so that when the jaws 12-42 are moved into engagement with the base flange the rail's"will be supported from the lower sides of the jaws l2f-l2 and-15-l5.
in the form shown in Fig. 4 the body 2? which is arranged in the hollow tie 18 is scepured by a pin 19 similar to the pin. 16 in the preferred form. The jaw 20 arranged. at one end of'the body 27 is adapted to embrace one side portion of the flange of the rail and to bear on the'web thereof. The jaw 21 is'adapted to bear on the other side oi? the base flange and opposite face of the web and has a toothed portion 22 which inderldcks with the toothed surface 23 on the tie l8 and has oblong openings 24: which aline with similar openings in the tie to receive boll-s 25 which are secured by means of nuts 26. With this construction it will be seen that, the rail may be adjusted laterally withincertain limits and seoprely held when the parts are arranged as shown in Fig. 4, against lateral displacement.
Thus, it will be seen that with my device a traizk rail may be efficiently secured to and readily detached from a tie in a minimum of time.
What I claim as new is:
In a railway rail fastenerythc combinatlon with a tie formed with a longitudinally extending recess opening through the sur face of the tie, with the opening of less length than the corresponding dimension of the recess, of a clamping clement including a body having a thickness corresponding to 'the interior similar dimension of the recess'and slidably mounted in the recess, of
