0. 'VALERI SUBSTRUCTURE FOR RAILWAYS AND THE LIKE Filed March 20. 1926 Patented Feb. 1, 1927.
UNITED STATES OLINDO VALERI, F SETTIGNANO, FLORENCE, ITALY.
SUBSTRUCTURE FOR RAIIRVAYS AND THE LIKE.
Application filed March 20, 1928, Serial No. 96,217, and in Ita1y March 24, 1925.
When constructing substructures for railway and like tracks much attention has always been paid to the supporting means of the single rails. with a view not only of ase suring the required stability of each single support taken by itself, but also of attaining its stability in respect of the other supports of the two rails and a perfect maintenance of the rails and of the rolling stock.
113 Leaving apart the creep of the rails, which is being provided for by separate means, an ideal support for the rails would be a support possessing a certain elasticity within the required narrow limits and adapted to oscillate in either direction and to assure the desired gauge and level of the track.
The support according to the invention is intended to assure the required gauge and to allow the supports swinging in the direction of the axis of the rail as it is required in view of the pressure exerted on it by the wheels. The necessary elasticity of the supporting means may be provided for by the 25 remaining parts of the substructure, which may also be used to provide for the small lateral swinging movements of the rails to react against the lateral shocks of the moving train. At any rate, even though these latter necessities are being taken care of by parts outside the scope of the invention and the support is intended only to cope with the two first-named necessities, it will be evident that great technical and economical advantages are obtained by the invention.
The invention is shown in the accompanying drawing wherein Figure 1 is a section of the track, the opposite supports being shown in elevation, Figure 2 is a plan view of one of the supports and Figure 3 is a section of the support seen from the inside of the track.
In the drawing, 1 indicates the two rails,
2 the support between the rail and the sub structure, 3 a connection between the opposite supports of the two rails, intended to regulate and maintain the required gauge, 4- is a bar of semicircular cross-section arranged between the rail and the support, 5 are the bolts to secure the rail and the support to the substructure.
It will be seen that the support has a flat base to bear on the substructure and that the substantially flat top face which carries the rail, is provided with a recess for the bar 4 and of similar conformation, and with lateral projections which rise along the edge of the sole of the rail so as to lie flush therewith.
What I claim is:
1. Support for the rails of a railway track comprising a substructure, a metal plate which is flat at its base and is provided on its substantially flat upper surface with projections which rise so as to lie flush with the sole of the rail, and with a recess of semicircular cross section, a bar of semi-circular cross-section received within the said recess, and bolts to anchor the rail and the support to the substructure.
2. Support as in claim 1, and comprising a tie connecting two opposite supports and screwed into the said supports.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
OLINDO VALERI.
