RAILROAD TRACTOR TIE SPACER Fil ed Feb. 14, 1953 s Sheets-Sheet s Inventor 6.. (Zar/es' C731 Patented Sept. 5, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE RAILROAD TRACTOR TIE SPACER Charles Clark, Plattsmouth, Nebr.
Application February 14, 1933. Serial No. 656,744 1 Claim. (Cl. 25444) The present invention relates to a device Ior spacing ties used on railroad trackways and has for its object to provide a device of this nature which is adjustable, simple in construction, easy 5 to manipulate, thoroughly eflicient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose'for which it is designed.
With the above and numerous other objects in View as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a vertical cross section through the rail showing the device attached thereto.
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.
Figure 3 is a bottom plan view thereof.
Figure 4 is a vertical cross section taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a bottom plan view of the head.
Figure 6 is an inverted perspective view thereof.
Figure '7 is a perspective View of the clamping 25 jaw.
Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the numeral denotes a head plate having a perpendicularly depending arm 6 formed thereon and at the bottom of this arm 6 is an 30 outwardly directed trunnion '7. A threaded stud 8 rises from the head 5. The end of the head 5 remote from the arm 6 has a depending flange 9 with right angular extensions 10 and 11 directed inwardly. The portion of the head 5 bound by 3 these flanges 9, '10 and llis formed with a plurality of recesses 12 separated by ribs 14. There are three holes through this portion of the head denoted by numerals 90, 100 and 110. A jaw comprises a block 15 having at its lower end a laterally extending flange 16 to engage under the ball of the rail and rising from the upper surface of the block 15 is a threaded stud bolt 17 on each 7 side of which is a rib 18. These ribs 18 are adapted to fit in the various recesses 12 while the bolt 17 is to be projected through one of the openings 90, 100 or 110 and a wing nut 19 is engaged 'on the bolt 1'7 for clamping the device on the rail.
A handle bar 20 is threadedly engaged with the stud bolt 8. A lever 21 is rockably mounted inter mediate its ends, adjacent its lower end, on the trunnion 7 and is held in place by a washer and cotter pin 22.
The provision of the three openings 90, 100 and 110 lend adjustability to the device for fitting number 90, number 100 and number 110 rail sections respectively. When the spacing lever 21 is pulled back, the head and jaw bind on the rail and the lower end of the lever engages the tie to shift the same as desired.
It is thought that the construction, operation, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof.
The present embodiment of the invention has been described in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention andthe above description.
It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit'or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.- 1
Having thus described my inventiornwhat I claim as new'is:
A tie spacing device of the class described including a head to be mounted on top of the ball of a rail, said head including at one end a depending arm terminating in an outwardly di- 0 rected trunnion, a lever rockably mounted intermediate its ends on the trunnion, a jaw detach ably connected to the other end of the head for engaging under the ball of the rail to clamp the device thereon, the under surface of said other end of the head beingprovided with a plurality ,of spaced recesses and a plurality of spaced openings, and the jaw being provided with flanges to extend into said recesses and a bolt to extend into the selected of said openings, and a nut for engagement with said bolt.
