JOHN A. BODKIN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
, RAIL ANCHOR.
Application filed February 9,1921.
To all wizo m z't may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN A. BonKiN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the borough of Manhattan, in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rail Anchors, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement 1n rail anchors for the purpose of preventing creeping of the rails. Ordinarily, 1n laying rails the ends are spliced to each other at intervals and held to the ties by spikes, the spikes being driven into. the ties with their heads overlapping the edge of the rail.
flange. Difiiculty is experienced in such situations with creeping of the rails, tending to force the ties out of place and throwing that section of track out of place.
It is the purpose of the present invention to provide an apparatus whereby these ditficulties will be eliminated.
In general, my invention comprises the provision of means spiked or otherw1se r1gidly secured to the ties at each side or the joint or splice in the rail.
Specifically I provide a dog adapted to be driven into a pair of ties beside the rail and having a flange overlying the flange of the rail. In this case the dog functions also to hold the rails to the ties.
It will be apparent therefore that an ob ject of my invention is to prevent the creeping of rails by securing the ties each side of the splice in the rails to each other, the ties offering suilicient resistance to movement in the roadbed to ofiset the tendency of the rail to creep.
Tn the accompanying drawings Fig. l is a view showing my improved rail anchor in use upon a rail; and
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my rail anchor.
The drawings show a bent metal member Serial No. 443,607.
having prongs 33 at each end driven into the ties 34 and 35 or any number of ties desired at each side of the splice S in the rail. This member is provided with a laterally extending flange 36 which when the member is in place will overlap the flange 37 of the rail to' thereby frictionally hold the rail down upon the ties. My improved device therefore not only functions as an anchor but a rail spike as well.
What I claim is:
1. As an article of manufacture, a rigid memberadapted to be driven into a plurality of railroad ties simultaneously, said member being provided with means for engaging a rail to hold the same in place on said ties.
2. As an article of manufacture, a rigid member shaped'so as to be driven simultaneously into a plurality of railroad ties, and a flange on said member for cooperation with a rail to hold the rail in place upon said ties.
8. As an article of manufacture, a rail anchor comprising a rigid member, the end portions of which are bent at an angle to the body portion thereof so as to be driven into plurality of railroad ties, said rigid member being provided with a laterally extending flange adapted to engage the flange of a rail when the rail anchor is in place.
4:. As an article of manufacture. a rail an- 75 chor, the endsof which are shaped at an angle to the body portion so that the anchor may be driven into a plurality of railroad ties simultaneously and a flange extending laterally with respect to the body portion of 80 said member and adapted to overlie the flanges of adjacent rails to frictionally hold the rails to the ties into which the anchor is driven.
This specification signed this 5 February, 1921.
day of JOHN A. BODKIN.
