ANTICREFIPING DEVICE FOR RAILS.
Application filed. January 25, 1827. Serial No. 163,342.
My invention relates to improvements in anti-creeping devices for rails and it consists in the combinations, constructions, and arrangements hereinafter described and claimed. a
An object of my invention is to provide an anti-creeping device, which may be applied to a railroad. track without altering the con struction of the latter and which may be secured in place with the same bolts and spikes that are now employed, no additional boltsand spikes being necessary.
A further obj ect of my invention is to provide a. device of the type described which is extremely simple in construction, and which is durable and etlicient for the purpose in tended.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specifications and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device as shown operatively applied to a track.
Figure 2 is a vertical section through the device, and I Figure 3 is a horizontal section through the device taken just below the head or" the rail.
In carrying out myinvention I make use of a rail 1 having a head 2, a web 3 and a flange 4:. Angle bars 5 are used for joining rail sections together. The rail 1 is mounted upon ties 6 and is secured thereto by means of spikes 7. Tie plates 8 are disposed between the railand the ties in the usual manner. The parts thus far described form no part of my invention except in so far as they cooperate with the parts now to be described.
The anticreeper comprises an angle-shaped bar 9 which has a portion 1.0 for overlying the top of the flange 4 and a portion 11 which has recesses 12 for receiving the tie plates 8. Figure 2 clearly shows how the portion has spike openings 13 therein and how the portion 11 is spaced from the edge of the base 4 for permitting the spikes 7 to pass between the portion 11 and the base a and on into the tie ('3.
The bar 9 is provided with a shoulder 1 which abuts against the end of the angle bar 5. A lug 15 extends from the bar 9 and has an opening 16 therein, see Fig. 2, for receiving a bolt 17.
From the foregoing description of the various parts of thedev'ice, the operation there of may be read ly understood. If desired the rail section 1 may have a bar 9 extend in the opposite direction to that shown in Figure 1, in addition to the bar 9 as shown and in this way the railwill be prevented from creeping in either direction. The angle iron bar 9 is long enough to extend over the desired number of ties for assuring the rail against creeping. The recesses 12 snugly reeive the tie plates 8 and the walls of the openings 13 bear against the spikes 7 for preventing movement of the bar 9 with respect to the ties and the spikes. The bar in turn is connected with the rail by means of the bolt 17 and thus prevents the rail from creeping. One of the principal advantages of the device lies in thefact that the device may be applied to the rail Without any additional fastening means being necessary other than that which is already used.
T'claim: 1. The combination with a rail section, a
splice bar, ties, tie plates and means for securing said rail section to said ties and said splice bar to said rail section, of an anti-rail creeping device secured to said ties and said rail section by said securing means and means carried by said device for engaging with said tie plates. c
2. The combination with a rail section, means for securing said rail section to another rail section, ties, tie plates, and means for securing said rail section to said ties, of an anticreeping device secured to said ties by the means securing said rail section to said ties, and secured to said railsection by the means for securing two rail sections together, and. means carried by said device for engaging with said tie plates. i
3. A device of the type described comprismg an. angle-shaped bar having spike receiving openings in one leg thereof and tie plate receiving recesses in the'other leg thereof, and a lug having a bolt receiving opening therein. 4. The combination with rail sections, splice bars for securing said rail sections together,
bolts connecting said splice bars to said rail sections, ties, tie plates, and spikes for secur-;
ing said rail sections to said ties, of an anticreeping device, having openings therein for receiving said spikes, having recesses therein for receiving said tie-plates, and having a lug with, an opening therein for receiving said bolts.
5. A device of the type described comprising an angle shaped 'bar having spike receiving openings in one leg thereof and tie plate receiving openings in the other leg thereof, and a lug extending from said second leg and having a bolt receiving opening the-rein.
, 6. A device of the type described comprising an angle shaped bar having spike receiving openings in one leg thereof and tie-plate receiving recesses inthe other leg thereof, a splice bar engaging shoulder on one of'said legs and a lug extending from the other of said legs and having a bolt receiving opening therein. v
7. The combination With a rail section, and splice bar, ties, and means for securing said rail section to said ties and said splice bar to said rail section, of an anti-rail creeping device secured to said ties and said rail section by said securing means, and means carried by said device for engaging the end of said splice bar. i p
8. The combination with a rail section, splice lea-rs flier securing said rail section to another rail section, a bolt connecting said splice bars to said rai'l section, ties, tie-plates, and spikes for securing said rail section to said ties, of an anti-creeping device, having openingstherein for receiving said spikes,
having recesses therein for receiving said tieplates, having a shoulder thereon for engaging the end of said splice bars, and having a log with an opening therein for receiving said bolt.
In testimony whereof I my signature.
