RAIL-BRACE.
Patented Apr. 14, 1914..
Serial No. 798,345.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VVILTJAM SoHnnnR- MAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Leoti in the county of Wichita State of Kansas, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Rail-Braces; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to rail braces and has for an object to provide a brace that will positively hold both rails of the track against relative displacement.
A further object of the invention is to provide a rail brace that will prevent overturning of the rails and will prevent spreading of the rails outwardly or moving of the rails inwardly, such means being formed of a few simple and inexpensive parts that will be strong and durable and will not easily get out of order.
lVith the above objects in view the invention consists of certain novel details of construct-ion and combination of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be made in the minor details of construction within the scope of the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawing illustrating this invention :Figure 1 is a plan view showing the application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view through the webs of both rails showing the manner in which the parts grip the rails. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view on the line 33 Fig. 1. Fig. l is a cross sectional view on the line 4% Fig. 1.
Referring now to the drawing in which like characters of reference designate similar parts, 10 designates railway track rails and 11 the railway ties. The brace comprising the subject-matter of this invention consists of a pair of hooks 1.2 the shanks of which are threaded respectively right and left hand as shown at 13 and joined together by a turn buckle 14. The hooks are designed to hook over the outer edges of the base flanges of both rails whereby upon tightening of the turn buckle the hooks will be drawn toward each other and positively prevent outward spreading of the rails.
A brace bar 15 of sufficient length to bear upon the base flanges of both rails and terminally engage the inner faces of the webs of both rails, is disposed in advance of and parallel with the threaded hooks 12. This brace is equipped near the ends with strap iron links 16 which are riveted or otherwise secured to the brace and bear with the outer edges against the inner edges of the adjacent base flanges of the rail, each link being given a half twist intermediate its ends as shown at 17 to dispose the end most remote from the brace in a vertical plane, such end being equipped with an opening 18 through which the related hook 12 passes. This brace holds the rails positively against inward relative movement, the links 16 preventing the inner ends of the hooks from dropping down, thus a portion of the weight of the turn buckle being supported by the brace so that distortion of the parts is prevented.
From the above description it will be seen that I have provided an extremely simple and inexpensive brace which will positively prevent relative displacement of the rails and will furthermore be formed of a few strong and durable parts that will not easily get out of order.
lVhat is claimed, is:
A rail brace including a pair of hooks engageable over the outer edges of both rails of a track, a turn buckle connecting the inner ends of said hooks between the rails, a brace parallel with said hooks and having endwise engagement with the inner faces of the webs of said rails, and a pair of parallel links carried by said brace and engaging said hooks between said rails whereby the inner ends of said hooks are supported by said brace.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
