Furthermore, ties may be narrower than the tie-plates, so that the tie-plates project beyond the tops of the ties, in which event a satisfactor; abutment is not afforded for ordinary rail-anchors; such a condition, however, being entirely suitable for this device.
What I claim as new is:
1. A rail-anchor constructed to be applied to one side flange of a rail'so as to straddle a tie-plate in double abutment relation to such plate, substantially as set forth. r
2. A rail-anchor constructed to be applied to one side flange of a rail in frictional and tensional engagement therewith, and to straddle a tie-plate in double abutment relation to such plate, substantially as set forth.
3. A rail-anchor constructed to be applied to one side flange of a rail in frictional and t'ension'al engagement therewith, and to cooperate in abutment with the tie-plate between the rail and thetie, substantially as set forth. 7 V p at. A rail-anchor which is applied to one side flange of a rail, said rail-anchor having jaws spaced and adapted to grip said railflange at opposite sides of a tie-plate and to cooperate with said plate in double abutment, substantially as set forth.
5. A rail-anchor which is applied to one side-flange of a rail, said rail-anchor comprising a onepiece spring member having jaws spaced and adapted to grip said railflange at opposite sides of a tie-plate and to cooperate with said plate in double abutment, substantially as set forth.
6. A rail-anchor which is applied to one side flange of a rail, said rail-anchor comprising a longitudinal bar member having jaws spaced and adapted to grip said railflange at opposite sides of a tie-plate constituting the abutment for the rail-anchor, the member being made so that the jaws are out of alinement before application'involving a distortion in application producing'a tensional grip on the rail flange, substantially as set forth.
7 A rail-anchor whieh is applied to one side flange of a rail, said rail-anchor comprising a longitudinal bar member having bent jaws on its remote portions spaced and adapted to grip the rail flange at opposite sides of the tie-plate with which to co -operate as the abutment, said bar as made being distorted to compel a tensional grip on the rail flange, substantially as set forth.
v8. A rail-anchor which is applied to one side flange: of a rail, said rail-anchor comprising a. longitudinal bar member having jaws spaced and adaptedto grip the railflange at opposite side's-ofthe tie-plate with which to cooperate'as the abutment, said bar member as made being bent laterally in the vertical sense. so that when one is engaged with the rail-flange the member must be sprung against its resilience to engage the other jaw with the railflange, substantially as set forth. v
9. A rail-anchor which is applied to one side flange of a raiL said rail-anchor comprising a longitudinal bar member having jaws spaced and adapted togrip the rail flange at opposite sides of the tie-plate with which to cooperate as the abutment,'s'aid bar member as made having a longitudinal twist rotating the aws out of line, substantially asset forth.
10. A rail-anchor which is applied to one side flange of a rail, said raileanchor comprising a longitudinal bar member having jaws spaced and adapted to grip the rail flange at opposite sides'of the tie-plate with which to cooperate as the abutment, said bar member as made, having both a longitudinal H twist. and a lateral bend in the vertical sense, substantially asset forth.
11. A rail-anchor which is applied to one side flange of a rail, said rail-anchor comprising a longitudinal resilient .member adapted to overlie one side flange of a rail and having spaced lntegral portions re-bent under the bar so as to grip the rall-fiange at opposite sides of-the tie-plate, substantially as set forth.
12. Thecombinationwith a rail and a tie plate spiked to a tie, of a. device of the character described *having spaced portions in gripping engagement with one side flange of a rail and in abutment relation to opposite edges of the tie-plate, substantially as set forth.
18. The combinationwith a rail, a tie-plate and a spike, of a device of the character described having spaced portions in gripping engagement with one side flange of a rail and in abutment relationto opposite edgesv of the tie-plate, and backed up atthe side away from the rail by said'spilte.
14. The combination with a ra1l anda tie- 7 plate, of a longitudinal distorted resilient bar member having spaced portions adapted to grip one side flange of the rail and to cooperate with the tie-plate as an abutment.
