embodiment, in the accompanying drawings in which Figure l is a plan View of the anchor shown as applied to a railroad rail, FigfQ, l sectional-view taken on line 2-2 the 1 being shown in elevation, Fig, 3, cross ml view on"'line-3-3 of Fig. i; Fig. 4, 21 "new, in perspective, of the -edge element, and fig. a similar "iew of tne yoke ole 1 with one of the hooks or broken away.
Like characters of reference designate like parts in the several figures of the draw eri-in t0 drawings, A olesignates iii-022d rail sij one of the truss ties :iiicli the mil laid. lhe anchor eona sizes or yoke C (Fig. 5} ands iiclig w ivedae element D (Ens of these elethe elen l) for example, is formed a tieet-ut "tango ii), the other befee to move award the tie except so it is prevented from said movement ed e sngsgem. '5 between the elements of tile noon? and the rail.
The yoke C consists ofzi bar of metal formed with books or jaws F adapted to bear against the. upper surface of the base of the rail and with wedg ng sur- G G, which have a general 3" uteri (levies in position on the rail, from the poi near the; neuter and toward the v the on the basic edge of the yoke low wnz'd v toward the lie,

tie abutting member 1 Inert? ifi. m i. e applied. to a rail by in; the hollow element 1) under the base flange of the rail against a tie B, and
slipping the yoke'over the edges of the rail base back of the wedge element and driving the same over the wedge members H, H, toward the tie as far as it will go. This tends to produce transverse expansion of the hollow member D, that is, to force the wedges H, H away from each other. When the rail is thrust in the direction toward the tie by the impetus of a train, the engagement as between the parts of the anchor and between the anchor and the rail is i tensified so that any tendency is self-checked.
While I have described my invention in a preferred embodiment, it will be understood that modifications in the form, construction and proportion of the parts might be made without departure from the invention.
I claim: I 1. A rail anchor comprising a. bar formed at opposite ends with hooks adapted to bear against the upper surfaces -of the base flange of the rail on opposite-sides thereof, and a tie abutting plate formed with a pair of wedge members which converge in .the direction of said plate and are connected at theiroutcr ends by a cross piece, said wedge members adapted to intervene between the bottom of the base flange and said bar, and the wedge members and bar being formed with coa'cting wedge faces which have an inclination with respect to the plane of the base of the rail both transversely and longitudinally thereof.
- 2. In a rail anchor, the combination with a onepiece yoke element adapted to extend around .the base flange of the rail, of a wejlge element, one of such elements being provided with a tie abutting member and the other adapted to stand out of contact with the tie, the wedge element being formed with a pair of wedge members spaced apart and converging in the direction toward the tie, and the yokewith wedge faces'engaging the inner faces of the wedge members.
3. In a rail anchor, the combination with a one iece yoke element adapted to extend aroun the base flan e of the rail, of a wedge element forme with a tie abutting member and with wedge members pr0jecting divergently therefrom, said yoke member being formed with wedge faces engaging the inner faces of said wedge members.
4. In a. rail anchor, the combination with a one iece yoke element adapted to extend around the base flange of the rail, of a wedge element formed with a tie abutting member, wedge members projecting diver-gently therefrom, and a connecting web, said yoke member being formed with wedge faces engaging the inner faces of said wedge members.
5. In a rail anchor, the combination with a yoke element which extends around the on the part 0 the rail to creep base flange of the rail out of contact with the bottom thereof, of a hollow wedge element adapted to be interposed between the yokeelement and the base of the rail, one of said elements being formed with a tie abutting member, and the other adapted to 'stand out of contact with the tie, said elements being provided with co engaging wedge faces disposed to produce transverse stresses outwardly in opposite directions against said wedge members when the free member is moved in the direction of the tie. v
6. In a rail anchor, the combination with a yoke element which extends around the base flange of the rail out of contact with the bottom thereof, of a. hollow wedge elemeut adapted to be interposed between the yoke element and the base of the rail, said wedge element being formed with a tie abutting rnember and with wedge members projecting therefrom, said elements being provided with co-engaging wedge faces disposed so as to produce transverse stresses outwardly in opposite directions against the wedge members.
7. In a rail anchor, the combination with a one piece yoke element adapted to extend around the base flange oi the rail and s wedge element, one being provided with a; tie abutting member and the other adapted to stand away from the tie; the wedge elecomprising two wedge members spaced apart which are engaged by said yoke-elemerit so as to be subjected to stresses tending to spread said members apart.
8. In a rail anchor, the combination with a one piece yoke element adapted to extend around the base'fiange of the rail. and a.
wedge element, one being provided with-a tie abutting member and the other adapted to stand away from the tie; wedge element comprising two wedge members spaded apart which lie generally lengthwise of the rail and areengaged by said yoke element so as to be sub ected to stresses tending to spread said members apart.
9. A rail anchor comprising two elements having a wedging engagement one with the other, one of said elements consistin of an integral yoke extending around the aseof the rail. one of them being provided with a tie abutting member and one of theelements being formed with two wedge members" spaced apart which are subjected to stresses tending to spread the same by engagement with the other element.
