;` iJjNvvi-fr'E`D-lg-sgl-TATE PATENT oFFicnj HAROLD G, WARR,PARK RIDGE, ILLINOIS,V '.SSIGN OR TO THE j CHICAGQILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
To all whom t may conce/Mt.' v
Be it knownthat I, HAROLD G.'- WARR, a citizen of 'the -United States, residing at Park Ridgejin `the county" of Cook and State oflllinois,.have invented certain new.
and usefullmprove'ments in Rail-Anchors, of which the following is -a specification. i j
Myv 4invention Vrelates to rail anchor de# vices adapted to resist the tendencyvof railroad vrails to move longitudinal-ly.
` One of the objects of my invention is toV provide a novel and` improved 'one-piece 'rail anchor, made @f sheetmetal or' other suitable material, which'will ,permit the' anchor to be bentto its completed forni duringits ap-v plication to the rail, and which will inaiii tain a firm gripon oppositeedges of rails having baseilanges of diderent contour.
A further and more specific `object of the to resist the tendency of thev strains, incident to the application of the device or during service conditions, to distort the device f shownin its applied position on a rail, the
or loosen its grip-'on the rail.
The invention has for further objects the novel arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter describedand claimed for carry-l A ing `out the labove stated objects, and ysuch other objects as will appear from the following specification. l
The invention is illustrated'iii the accompanying drawings,.wherein:
Figure 1 "s an" edge view of a rail anchor constructed ingaccoifdance with my invention base flange of the rail to whichftlie device is applied beingshown in section 1:Fig. `2 is `a plan View of the'structure shown .inf-Fig. 1;- andf. 1
w Figf' isa'view inperspective of the rail anchor` before itis bent to itscompleted fo'rmf` l 'Like characters of reference designate like parts in the three figures 'of thedi-awing V:The formf oflthe invention illustrated in the drawing is preferably -made o-f sheet metal .and'consists ofla'flat body portion 10,V 1 arranged withrits flat surface engaging theV PJ & M. COMPANY, or

under surface of the rail base, and extend-y ing across therail base 11 at right angles to the length ofthe rail.: One end of the body portion of the anchor is bent upwardly and inwardly to provide a hook-shaped jaw 12 which fits over one edge of the rail base. Theother end is formed with an upstanding flange 13 which, when the anchoris in its applied position, extends abovel the opposite edge .of the rail base. Thisflange is formed along its vertical edges with projecting lugs 15, 16, which, before the anchor is bent to its completed form, are normally in alinement with the flange 13 so as to permit the flange to clearA the edge 14 of the rail base when the anchor is applied to the base flange of the' rail. The device is secured in its operative position by bending the lugs 15, 16 inwardly so that they will engage with the upper inclined surface of the rail base. he
lugs are preferably tapered in width and their under surfaces are beveled at 17 so as to conform approximately to the shape of rail base when they are bent to engage therewith. The'portion of the flange 18 intermediate the lugs 15, 16 is formed with a rigrndifying corrugation 1S, which preferably extends around the lower corner of the anchor, as -indicated at 19 (Figs. 1 and 2) so as to stiffen the anchor at this point. Vith this construction, the anchor device may be made of metal of minimum thickness and at the saine time avoid outward bending of the flange 13 by the pressure resulting from forcingthe lugs 15, 16 upon the inclined surface of the rail base, or by other strains to vwhich the anchormay be subjected during thepresence of a creeping pressure on the rail. The lugs 15, 16 being adapted to be' bent duringthe application of the anchor to the rail, permit it to be readily applied to rails having base flanges of different thickness and slightly different width. W'ithV this end in view, the angles between the lugs' 15, 16 and the body of the flange 13'are filleted at 1'?a so that the lugs will benduntil the fillets make contact with the upper edge of the rail base. A downwardly bent flange 20 provides a tie-abutting meinber adapted to engage one of the vertical faces `of the tie 21. Thertie abutment is ArigidifiedV by means of a pressed corrugation 22, preferably arranged adjacent one of the jaws, so that the anchor will be skewed in a horizontal plane during the presenceof a creeping pressure, and thereby take a biting hold on the vertical edge of the rail base at theforward and rear corners 23, 23u respectively, of .the jaws 12, 13.
In applying the anchor to the rail, the jaw 12 is hooked over one edge of the base flange of the rail, as indicated in dottedilines inA Fig. 1, the portion of the body adjacent thej aw 12 being preferably inclined downwardly, as indicated at 24, to provide a rewardly so as to grip the upper surface of the rail base, as indicated in full' lines in Figs. 1 and 2. The jaw 12, being yieldable, may be applied to rails having base flanges of different thickness, and is adapted to grip the upper and lower surfaces of the rail base with spring pressure. The initial grip of the j aw 13 iseXerted on the upper and lower surfaces of the base flange, though when the anchor is skewed, as above mentioned, the vertical edges of the jaws 12, 13 will take a hold on the vertical edge of the rail. A reverse movement of the rail, it will be observed, will not tend to loosen the device from the rail. l
llVhile I have described my invention in one specific embodiment, it will be obvious that modifications might be made without departure from the spirit of my invention. I therefore do not wish to limit myself to the specific structure as shown and described, except in so far as specific limitations may appear in the appended claims.
