RAILWAY-RAIL-LIFTING BAR.
Application filed April 16, 1927. Serial No. 184,364.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in lifting devices, and particularly to devices for lifting railway rails.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a lifting device which is especially adapted for lifting or raising a railway rail a sufficient distance above the tie, to permit easy insertion of a metal tie plate between the rail base and tie.
Another object is to provide a device of this character which is strong and durable, as well as efficient in operation,
Another object is to provide a rail lifting bar wherein the degree of movement is small,
to accomplish the elevation of the rail, above the tie, whereby to permit the operator to easily insert the tie plate beneath the rail, while at the same time he holds the bar depressed.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connectionwith the accompanying drawing. i
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the lifting bar in use.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary detail perspective view of a modified form of the rail engaging portion of the lifting bar.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents a railway rail, and 11 the tie on which the rail is disposed, and in connection with which the present invention is particularly adapted for use.
The rail lifting device includes a lever 12, having one end bifurcated, as shown at 13, each of the furcations thereof being arcuate and lying in parallel planes. Pivotally mounted within the bifurcation 13, and depending therefrom, is the fulcrum leg 14, and pivotally mounted within the outer end of the bifurcation is the rail head engaging arm 15. This arm 15 is formed with a hook 16, adjacent its pivotal end, and an angularly extending portion 17 at its outer or free 4 end, said hook being arranged to receive one side of the head of the rail therein, while the portion 17 rests on the tread of the head, at the other side of the rail.
In the operation of the device, the operatorplaces the fulcrum leg on the tie, adjacent the rail, and then engages the arm 15 with the head of the rail. Upon applying weight on the other end of the lever the lever will be rocked on the pivot of said leg, whereby to elevate the rail to a sufficient distance above the upper face of the tie to permit the introduction of the tie plateth-ereunder. This obviates the usual hammering on the end of the tieplate to force the same beneath the rail, as the tools now in use do not raise the rail sufficiently high to easily slip the plate therebeneathe In Figure 2 there is shown a modification of the arm 15, wherein the portion 17 is (55 omitted, and the rail engaging face of said arm is provided with the biting ribs or teeth 18, which serve to prevent the arm slipping, while the device is in operation.
The other end of the lever is formed with a curved foot 19, which may be put to various uses in connection with railway track 7 work.
What is claimed is:
A railway rail lifting device comprising a lever having a bifurcated end, a fulcrum leg pivotally depending from the inner end portion of the bifurcation, and a rail engaging arm pivotally mounted in the outer end of the bifurcation and having a hook portion adjacent its inner end and an angularly extending portion on its outer end, said ang'ularly extending portion being disposed on the same side of the'arm as that of the hook.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature.
DAVID RICH.
