Definitions

  • the spike head is adapted for use with impact spike-driving methods.
  • the head of the spike is preferably hemispherical or dome shaped and is adapted to for use with manual or automated impact spike-driving methods.
  • the hemispherical head is adapted to deform slightly under impact driving, thereby preventing damage to the tool grip.
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary, transverse axial view of a spike embodying the present invention.
  • the head 10 comprises a projecting polygonal tool grip extending axially from the flange on the side opposite to the threaded shank.
  • the head 10 also comprises a projecting polygonal tool grip (shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 as 10 a ), which in this embodiment extends axially from the first flange 11 a on the side opposite the spacer portion 18 .
  • the shape of the tool grip is not critical, it is generally adapted for engagement by a wrench to enable rotary driving of the spike into the tie or removal of the spike using a rotary motion imparted to the tool grip.
