- The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
- The invention is a
rail clip 1 for a retaining device comprising a shoulder member for bearing on a lateral side of a rail flange, and providing a downwardly facing abutment surface. The clip is driven into ahole 20 that is on the top of theplate 10 and reacts against the top of thebase 35 of therail 30 while the straight tail of the clip reacts against the top of theplate 10. - The preferred version of the
clip 1 is the one shown inFIGS. 1A and 1B . Theclip 1 is of bent rod form bent into the preferred shape. The clip had astraight tail 2 which at one end bends out aheel 4 ninety degrees in the form of a semi-circle with the clip bending 180 degrees forward with astraight toe 6 that extends past where the tail is attached. This produces aclip 1 which is in the shape of a P. - In the preferred embodiment, the
clip 1 is driven into ahole 20 that is on the top of theplate 10 and reacts against the top of thebase 35 of therail 30 while thestraight tail 2 of theclip 1 reacts against theplate 10 in thehole 20 ofshoulders 25 on the surface of theplate 60. There are twoshoulders 25 on the plate positioned on both sides of therail base 35. - In the installed position, as seen in FIG, 2,
clip 1 extend throughopenings 20 in theshoulder members 25, and bear upwardly on a downwardly facing abutment surface provided on an upper side of theopening 20. Theclip 1 can be installed with thetoe 6 on therail 30 from right to left as shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 or from left to right as shown inFIG. 4 . Theclip 1 is completely reversible as it can be installed with theheel 4 on the rail as shown inFIG. 5 . - The
clip 1 provides a higher toe load than other clips of comparable weight. - The
clip 1 has a low profile as shown inFIG. 6 for tight spots where overhead clearance is limited such as at rail joint where joint/splice bars are used. - The invention has addition embodiments with other
shaped clips 1 as shown inFIGS. 7 , 7B, 8, 9, 10, 11A, 11 b, 12, 13, 14A, 14B, 15 and 16. - The behavior of the first alternative embodiment is an
oval head clip 12 which is a variant ofClip 1 where the plate has stopperarms oval head clip 12 to further increase resistance to rail rotation. This alternative embodimentoval head clip 12 as shown inFIGS. 7A , 7B, 8, 9 and 10. - The
oval head clip 12 has atail 2 which ends in an oval 24 that is perpendicular to saidtail 2 in a double heel formation. This is similar to the shape of a sardine can opener. - The
shoulder 25 of theplate 20 is unique in the alternative embodimentoval head clip 12 in that theclips 12 are reversible and theplate 20 has a dualover-lapping stopper stoppers shoulder 25. Thestopper oval head clip 12 between it and the surface of theplate 60 as theoval head clip 12 fits into thehole 20 inshoulders 25 as shown inFIGS. 8 , 9 and 10. - While the clips described herein are preferably employed with the above described shoulder members, it is contemplated they may be used with other shoulder members providing a downwardly facing abutment surface.
- An additional embodiment of the clip is shown in
FIGS. 11A , 11B, 12 and 13. This is a cross overclip 13. The cross overclip 13 consist of astraight tail 2 which at one end bends out aheel 4 ninety degrees in the form of a semi-circle with the clip bending 180 degrees backwards towards thetail 2 with astraight toe 6 that extends past the tail. The cross overclip 13 at the end of theheel 4 has atoe 23 that extend away for the cross overclip 13. Thetoe 23 has an upward bend to it when it crosses thetail 2. Thetoe 23 has a downward bend to it after it crosses thetail 2. - The cross over
clip 13 is driven into ahole 20 that is on the top of theplate 10 and reacts against the top of thebase 35 of therail 30 while thestraight tail 2 of the cross overclip 13 reacts against theplate 10 where thehole 20 inshoulders 25 on the surface of theplate 60 as shown inFIG. 12 . - Another embodiment of the clip is shown in
FIGS. 14A , 14B, 15 and 16. This is a U overclip 14. The U overclip 14 consist of astraight tail 2 which at one end bends out a U shapedheel 4 ninety degrees perpendicular from saidtail 2 in the form of a semi-circle with the U over clip bending 180 degrees backwards towards thetail 2 with astraight toe 6 that extends past thetail 2 with a ninetydegree bend 7 at the end of thetail 2 so theend 8 is parallel with thetail 2. Theend 8 in the preferred embodiment is shorter than thetail 2. - The U over
clip 14 is driven into ahole 20 that is on the top of theplate 10 and reacts against the top of thebase 35 of therail 30 while thestraight tail 2 of the U overclip 14 reacts against theplate 10 where thehole 20 inshoulders 25 on the surface of theplate 60 as shown inFIG. 16 . - This invention has been described hereinabove, although with reference to a plurality of illustrative exemplary and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that this is in no way to be construed as limiting but only to provide examples. However, it is readily appreciated that, from reading this disclosure, the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics or attributes to bring modifications by replacing some elements of this invention as practiced by their equivalents, which would achieve the same goal thereof and accordingly reference should be made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing specification, as indicating the scope of the invention. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will recognize, or be able to ascertain using no more than routine experimentation, many equivalents to the specific embodiments and the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims described herein. Such equivalents, obvious variations, and all changes which come within the meaning and equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be encompassed therein and are deemed covered by the claims of this invention.
