This inventon relates to a track tool and while it can be used under many conditions, it is designed more especially for use in making track repairs on railway bridges.
Heretofore, when raising rails on bridges it has been necessary frequently for the workmen to occupy dangerous positions at the outer edges of the tracks in order to manipulate the tools properly.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a lifting bar with novel means for gripping a rail while the bar is in a substantially horizontal position it being possible to mount one end portion of the bar on a guard rail or other support while the other end of the bar is positioned for engagement by a lifting jack located where it can be easily reached and operated.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawing the preferred form of the invention has been shown;
In said drawing 7 Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device in use, the rails and guard being in section.
Figure 2 is a plan View of the structure shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a view like Figure 1 showing another arrangement.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference, A designates a bridge tie on which is mounted a track rail B, a guard rail C and a wooden guard rail D.
The present invention consists of a strong bar of steel or the like forming a lever 1 which can be tapered toward one end from its heel 2. A foot 3 extends from the heel and has a toe 4 at its free end extended in the direction of a lug 5 which projects from the lever l. A set screw 6 is mounted in the lug.
An arm '7 is extended from heel 2 oppositely to lever 1 and has an intermediate offset portion forming a seat 8 while its free end has a pointed lug 9.
In order to use the described tool it is necessary to employ a lifting jack indicated generally at E which can be of any construction desired.
When it is desired to lift a track rail B along the side of a bridge the lever 1 can be placed on the guard rail 6 with foot 3 and toe 4 embracing the outer side of the head of the rail 13. At this time lug 5 will lap theinner side of the rail as shown. Screw 6 can then be tightened against the inner side of the rail head whereupon the device is ready for use. J ack E is placed between rail 3 and the end of the tie A and in engagement with seat 8. Said jack is then actuated and will lift on arm 7. Rail C will serve as a fulcrum and rail 33 will be easily lifted. I
If there is no inner guard rail C the tool can be reversed as in Figure 3 at which time the lever 1 can rest on a block F on rail D while foot 3 and toe l can engage the outer side of the head of rail 13. The jack is positioned under arm '7 and when actuated will swing the lever upwardly about block F as its fulcrum.
Obviously while the rail is held up in either way described the adjacent ties can be removed for replacements and necessary repairs made to the stringers, etc.
What is claimed is:
1. A track tool including a lever, a foot and a lug extending therefrom, said lug and foot being adapted to receive therebetween the head of a 30 rail to be lifted, means on the foot for extending under the engaged head, a screw for clamping on the rail head, and an arm extending from the foot and away from the lever for engagement with a lifting jack.
2. A track tool including a lever, a foot at one end thereof, a lug on the lever, a clamping screw in the lug, said lug and foot cooperating to receive therebetween the head of a rail to be lifted, a toe on the foot for engaging under said head, and an arm extending from the foot and away from the lever, said arm having a jack engaging seat.
