Inventor By//mjw ttorneyg ite This invention relates to means for securing track rails in position on a support.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved means for holding a track rail which will hold the rail securely against vertical and lateral movement and which is easy to install and adjust.
According to the invention, means for holding a track rai1 to a support comprises a rigid member adapted to be moved laterally towards and press against a track rail upon rotation of a cam member rotatable about the axis of a ybolt threading the rigid member and a resilient member which projects laterally from the rigid member and is adapted to bear down on the tradk rail.
According to a further feature of the invention, the resilient member comprises a portion which is threaded by the bolt and is adapted to be forced downwards towards the support.
The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings in which FIG. 1 is an elevation looking along a track rail and FIG. 2 is a plan view.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, a rigid member 1 having an inverted rectangular dish shape is adapted to rest on a rail track support 2 and to bear, by one, 3, of its sides, against the side edge of the flange 4 of a track rail 5. The rigid member 1 is threaded by a bolt 6 which projects upwards from the support to which it is held. Within the rigid member 1 is a resilient member 7 which projects laterally through an opening 8 in the rigid member, which opening is dispo-sed adjacent the side 3 of this member which abuts against the track rail ange. The portion of the resilient member 7 which is disposed within the rigid member is, viewed in plan, rectangular in shape and this portion has a downwardly bent edge portion 9 which bears against the support 2 at a position adjacent the side 10 of the rigid member which is opposite to the side 3 which abuts against the rail ilange. The portion 11 of the resilient member 7 which is disposed outside the rigid member is arched, the free foot 12 of the arch bearing down on the upper surface of the rail flange 4. The resilient member 7 is threaded by the bolt 6 and a cam or eccentric 13 which is also threaded on lthe bolt 6 and which is disposed within a circular opening formed in the top wall 14 of the rigid member 1 so that rotation of the cam 13 will cause the rigid member to move towards or away from the track rail. Rotation of the cam 13 may be facilitated by providing the cam with a square or polygonal portion 15 adapted to be engaged by a Spanner and disposed above the top of the rigid member. This portion 15 of the cam preferably rests on the upper surface of the rigid member 1. A nut 16 is screwed on the `upper end of the bolt 6 which projects above the cam. When this nut 16 is screwed down tightly, the resilient member holds the rail 5 against vertical movement, the cam having been previously set to adjust the lateral position of the rail and prevent it from further lateral movement in the direction of the bolt. It will be appreciated that the securing means embodying the invention are provided on the opposite sides of the track rail.
The bolt 6 passes througth the support and has its head 17 disposed below the support 2.
I claim:
Means for holding a track rail to a support which comprises, a rigid member adapted to be moved laterally towards and to press against a track rail upon rotation of a cam member rotatable about the axis of a bolt threading the rigid member, a resilient member projecting laterally from the rigid member and adapted to bear down on the track rail ilange, said resilient member comprising a portion which is threaded by the bolt to thereby be forced downwardly towards the support, said rigid member being hollow and having an opening in its upper surface to receive said cam member and said bolt, said rigid member having an upright side which bears against lthe side of the .rail flange, said resilient member being disposed in the hollow `space of the rigid member below lsaid cam and having a portion projecting through an opening in said rigid member, said resilient member having an arched end whose free foot is adapted to bear downwardly upon the rail ange.
