RACK-RAIL.
1,203Jl3d.
Application filed December 31. 1905. Serial No. 350,106.
To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDMUND C. MonsAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Rack-Bails, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to rack rails and has for its object to provide a new and useful device of this description.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure l is a side elevation illustrating the construction; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Like letters refer to like parts throughout the several figures.
It is often desirable in the use of rack rail locomotives to have the rack rail supported in a predetermined relation to the track rails, and to be held firmly and securely in this predetermined position.
Referring to the drawings, I have shown a rack rail A, which is the ordinary rack rail used in connection with rack rail locomotives, consisting of a series of teeth A separated by spaces A Associated with the rack rail A are a series of holding devices which are rigidly fastened to the support B at intervals. These holding devices comprise the metallic chairs or pieces G having an engaging part O at one end to engage the rack rail. The holding pieces G are provided with means for holding them against separation. Any suitable means for this purpose may be used, as, for example, some device by means of which the ends are fastened to a fixed part or support. These pieces are fastened to the support in any desired manner. As herein shown they are provided with engaging parts G which engage the support B. The engaging parts C as herein shown, are provided with a shoulder C and the beveled face (3*, the rack rail A being provided with a corresponding beveled face. As herein illustrated a bolt D connects the two pieces C and holds them against separation so that they are in proper engagement with the rack rail. By tightening up these bolts the holding parts can be clamped so that the rack rail is clamped between them. By having the engaging parts C provided with the beveled faces G the rack rail can be firmly held in position Specification of Letters Patent.

without any part of the holding device projecting above it. In order to prevent longitudinal movement of the rack rail the sections thereof are connected together by a connecting piece E, and the holding devices are arranged one at each end of said connecting piece so as to be engaged thereby. These connecting pieces are of course, placed at intervals, and it will thus be seen that by engaging with the clamping devices longitudinal movement of the rack rail is prevented. It will further be seen that the rack rail can thus be securely held in place in any predetermined relation with the track rails by means of this construction with an intervening space between it and the support,
thus forming a simple, cheap and eflicient supporting device for the rack rail. As herein shown the support B is parallel with the rack rail, but it is, of course, evident that the holding devices may be fastened directly to the cross piece G if desired. For purposes of illustration I have shown a rack rail having a trapezoidal shape or cross sec tion. The particular rack rail herein illus trated consists of a trapezoidal bar provided parallel to said rack rail, a series of holding pieces engaging the rack rail and the supporting piece and provided with parts in the plane of said perforations, and means for forcing said holding pieces toward each other to clamp the parts together.
2. The combination with a rack rail of a supporting piece parallel thereto, a seriesof holding pieces engaging the rack rail and the supporting piece, and means for forcing said holding pieces toward each other to clamp the parts together, the ends of said holding pieces being substantially flush with the upper face of said rack rail. 7
3. The combination with a rack rail of a supporting piece running parallel thereto, a
ltm
series of holding pieces arranged in pairs at intervals, each of said holding pieces engaging the rack rail at one end and the supporting piece at the other, and a bolt passing between the rack rail and supporting piece and engaging both of the holding pieces, said belt out of contact with the said rack rail and supporting pieces, said holding pieces establishing the vertical distance between the supporting piece and the rack rail.
t. The combination with a rack rail of a support therefor, a series of holding devices arranged in pairs, each holding device provided at one end with an engaging part which engages the support and at the other end with an engaging part which engages the rack rail, said latter part comprising a beveled face which engages a beveled face on the rail, and means for forcing the hold ing devices of each pair toward each other so as to clamp the rail and support together, the engaging ends of the holding devices supported so as to provide a space between the rack rail and the support.
5. The combination with a rack rail of a series of separated holding devices therefor, located at intervals along the rack rail and adapted to engage the rack rail onopposite sides thereof, said holding devices also acting as supports for the rack rail and adjustable means out of contact with said rail for holding said holding devices against separation.
6. The combination with a rack rail of holding pieces therefor adapted to engage the rack rail on opposite sides thereof, and means for holding said holding pieces against separation, said holding pieces being provided with beveled faces, beveled faces on the rack which are engaged by the beveled faces of said holding pieces whereby the upper face of the rack is free.
7. A rack rail comprising a piece provided with a series of perforations in alinement,
the outer edges of said rack rail in the plane of said perforations being beveled to provide two engaging faces, one at each side thereof for the rack rail supports.
8. The combination with a rack rail of a device for supporting the same comprising end engaging parts which engage the sides thereof and prevent upward vertical displacement of said rack rail when upward pressure is applied thereto, said end engagparts flush with the top of the rail.
9. A rack rail comprising a trapezoidal bar the beveled edges of which when engaged prevent vertical displacement and provided at intervals with perforations for the moving part which cooperates with said bar, said perforations extending completely therethrough.
10. In a railway a longitudinally disposed trapezoidal rack, the beveled edges of which when engaged prevent vertical displacement, a supporting piece parallel thereto adjacent to. the larger face of the rack, and out of contact therewith, and means for connecting the rack with the support.
11. A rack rail construction comprising a trapezoidal bar, the beveled edges of which when engaged prevent vertical displacement, and provided at intervals with perforations which extend completely therethrough, supports for said bar having beveled sides which engage, the beveled faces of the bar, and means for holding said supports in proper position with relation to the bar.
12. A device of the kind described comprising a trapezoidal bar provided at intervals with perforations which extend completely therethrough, supporting pieces which engage the opposite non-parallel sides of the trapezoidal bar and means for holding said supports against separation.
