RAIL BRACE.
Application filed September 1, 1927.
The present invention relates to braces for the rails of railroad switch installations and especially to adjustable rail braces.
Among the objects of the invention is to simplify the construction of such devices while increasing their efficiency in operation.
Another object is an adjustable brace of which only a part need be changed to provide for differences in form and size of the rails with which it is to be used, the remaining portion being of a size and form suitable for all rails.
Still other objects will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon reference to the following description and accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is an end elevation of the brace in position to hold a rail;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same; and
Fig. 3 is a partly sectional plan view.
As indicated in the drawings, a brace formingthe preferred embodiment of the invention comprises two main parts, an anchor member 10 and a rail contact member 20. Of these the member 10 consists of flat base 11 provided with bolt holes 12 with support ing ribs 13 serving to brace an upstanding bearing portion 14. The bearing portion 14 is provided with angularly arranged forward bearing shoulders 15 and 16 with between them a perforated lug 17 located near the high end.
The member 20 consists of a channeled block whose outer face 21 is shaped to conform with the side of a rail 22 and whose inner edges 23 are arranged at an angle to match the angle of shoulders 15 and 16 so that when the members 10 and 20 are placed together the face of part 20 will substantially parallel the rear edge of part 10. One end Serial No. 216,802.
of the channel of member 20 is closed with a web 24 through which a hole 25 slotted laterally as indicated in Fig. 1 to provide for relative movement between the member 20 and bolt 31 and thereby for a straight pull by nut 32.
In the use of the device, member 10 will be secured to a tie plate as by bolts through holes 12. The member 20 is then placed there on by passing a bolt 31 through lug 17 and web 24 as shown and between member 10 and the rail 22. Tightening of the nut 32 on bolt 31 causes members 10 and 20 to be moved relatively and therefore the member 20 outwardly.
herein set forth but only by the scope of the claim which follows.
I claim:
An adjustable rail brace comprising a member adapted to be secured to a tie plate and having angularly arranged parallel shoulders F on its outer face With a perforated lug therebetween and near one end of said shoulders, a rail contacting member consisting of a channeled block whose outer face conforms to the side of a rail and whose edges are angularly arranged to mate with said shoulders, a slotted web closing one end of said channel, and a bolt passing through said lug and said web.
