J. OPATCHAN v RAILROAD RAIL FASTENERY Original Fiied Oct. 27. 1926 WITNESS:
ATTO RN EY improved Patented Jan. 3 1928.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
RAILROAD-RAIL FASTENER.
Application filed October 27, 1926, Serial No. 144,530. Renewed October 10, 1927.
This invention relates to a rail fastener, the general object of the invention being to provide spring actuated means for fastening a rail to a tie that a rail can be easily and quickly put in place or removed.
A further object of the invention is to provide means for holding the spring actuated members in retracted position so that a rail may be placed on the tie or removed therefrom without interference on the part of the spring actuated members.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and V in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure l is an elevation of a tie with my fastening means thereon, the rail being shown in section.
Figure 2 is a plan view Figure 3 is a section on me 2.
Figure 4 is an elevation of the casing for the spring actuated member, showing the said member in retracted position.
Figure 5 is an end view of the casing, with a part of the tie in section.
As shown in these views,
of Figure 1.
line 3-3 of Fig the tie l is formed with a pair of casings 2 at each rail receiving part, the casings being spaced a sufficient distance apart to receive thebase of a rail A between them. A plunger or bolt 3 is slidably arranged in each casing and is normally held in projected position by a coiled spring larranged in each casing. The outer end of each bolt is beveled on its under side, as shown at 5. to engage a top part of the rail base. A bayonet slot 6 is formed in each casing and a pin 7 is carried by each bolt and engages the slot. When the pin engages the vertical inner end of the slot, the bolt will be held in retracted position 111 the casing, as shown in Figure 4, so
that a rail can be placed between the two casings or removed from between the easmgs. After the rail has been put in place, the bolts are rotated slightly to place the pins in the horizontal portion of the slots so that the springs can project the bolts and cause their beveled parts to engage the rail base and thus lock the rail to the tie.
This invention eliminates the use of spikes and offers simple means for fastening a rail to a tie.
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.
I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
I/Vhat I claim is 1. In combination with a rail and a tie, a pair vof casings on the tie adjacent each end thereof, a spring actuated member in each casing having a part for engaging a part of the rail base for holding therail to the tie and means for holding each member in retracted position within the casing when desired.
2. In combination with a tie and a rail, a pair of casings connected with the tie adjacent each end thereof, said casings being spaced apart a distance sufiicient to receive the base of the rail between them, a bolt slidably mounted in each casing and having I its outer end beveled at the bottom to engage a part of the top of the rail base, a spring in the casing for holding the bolt projected, each casing having a bayonet slot therein and a pin on each bolt engaging the slot, the I vertical part of the slot being arranged at the inner end of the slot so that when the pin engages this part of the slot, the bolt will be held in retracted position. I
In testimony whereof I aflix my. signature.
JOSEPH OPATCHAN.
