our pending application, Serial No. 295,998,
filed July 28th, 1928, is to provide a ratchet pinch bar having a minimum of moving elements so that application of the device to a track rail and its operation for the removal of a tie from under the same may b quickly performed.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved ratchet pinch bar which may be easily, quickly and inexpensively constructed and which will be strong and durable.
The invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed clescription taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part of the present specification with the understanding, however, that the invention is not confined to any strict conformity with the showing of the drawing but may be changed or modified so long as such changes or modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention, as eX- pressed in the appended claims.
In'the drawing Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the Figure 2 is a sectional view taken upon the line 22 of Figure 1.
Flgure 3 1s a transverse sect onal vlew showing the position of the pinch bar in the 'tool.
Referring more particularly to the drawing wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the sev eral views, the numeral 1 indicates a railway track rail, the same being shown mounte 7 generally by the numeral 3 which is made up of a head piece 4 having a shank 5 and a hook] bill'6; The shankportion 5 issecured by riveting, welding or anyother meansbe tween the spaced ends of a pair of parallel beams '7 the underedges of which are pro'-' vided with the notches 8 to form 'ratclietj teeth 9.- The other ends 'of'the' beams 7 are connected and held in spaced relation by a block 10 to which they are suitably secured.-
D-esigned for use in association with the body?) is'a pinch bar 11whichcomprises'an elongated handle 12 having an offset pointed tip 13 joined thereto by a curved head portion 14 whichjis of materially greater weight than the handle and which tapers olfto form the point '13, in the manner shown. This head 14 whichis designed to be disposed be tween the'beams 7 has a plurality of aper-z times 15 formed transversely therethrough, one of which receives a transverse fulcrum' pin16." 1
jln operation the track engaging head 4 is hooked over a railyin the mannershown, so that the beams 7 extend transversely of the trackand above the tie which is to be re-. moved. Goacting with the headl6 forrmaintaininga firm engagement of the device with the head of the rail 1 are depending lugs or spurs 6 formed uponthe lower edges H of the beams'f. These spurs are so -placed with respect-to the'inner-face of the head 6 as toprovide sufficient roomfor the snug engagement of the head of thetrack rail between them and the head 6of the device] By this means accidental disengagement of thedevice; from the track rail is prevented and the. device is also supported substan tially in horizontal position; I The pointed end of theibar '11 is then extended through thebody between the beams 7 andthe pin 16 insertedin the proper aperturelfi. V
' The pointed endof the bar is then engaged in the tie and the pin 16 positioned trans verselyof-the beams in suitably positioned notches 8 and the free upper endofthe lever is t'hen'drawn backwardly so that the pin 16 ;will fulcrum against a pair of teeth?) to force the pointof the bar forwardly and thus eject thetie from beneath the rails.
' From the. foregoing descriptionitj will bel readily seen that by -the use of this pinch bar and ratchet the track ties may be easily and quickly removed from position or placed in position as desired and the application of the tool to the track may be easily and quickly made.
Having thus described our invention, what we claimis 1. A ratchet pinch .bar comprising an elongated body formed of a pair of beams arranged in spaced parallel relation, ratchet teeth formed along "the ilo wer edge of each:
beam, a head connecting said beam at one end and deslgned for engagement over a-railway track rail, the other end. of. the body, when in use, being unsupp0rt'ed, a pinch bar having a handle terminating at one rend. in .a head, said head being formed to provide -a tie penetrating point offset a substantialdis tance from thelineof the handle and further being adapted to be positioned between said beams, anda fulcrumpin carried by and eX- tending through the head of the fulcrum bar.
said beams, and a pin member extending ransversely through said head and adapted to have its ends engage the teeth of the beams. In testimony whereof we hereunto afl'ix our signatures.

3. A ratchet pinch bar, comprising an elon- V gated body formed of two flat beams disposed in spaced parallel relation, a spacing-block betweensaid beamsatone end, .a rail engaga ing head at theother ends of said beams, said head being substantially J -shaped and having theshank portion thereof disposed :between. the ends of the beams, the laterally extending portion of the head being adapted-t0 engage: across the ballot a rail, a lug. formedon the lower edge of each of said beamsfor coactionwith the rail engagingportion of the head to hold the rail thereagainst, a plurality of.
teeth formed in the lower edge of each beam,=
