Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in a construction for electrified rails such as are commonly employed in conjunction with the trolley supporting tracks or" overhead crane and monorail systems.
  • these improvements relate to the construction of an electrified conductor rail, an insulating jacket therefor, means for supporting the rail and insulating jacket either singly or in pairs, and an improved collector shoe and collector shoe bracket.
  • a conductor rail member of V or angle section having two legs which intersect each other at an apex, there being outer and inner rail surfaces on each leg.
  • An insulating jacket having portions which correspond to the legs of the rail memher is adapted to encase the outer surfaces thereof, these portions extending into overlapping relation with the inner rail surfaces adjacent the ends thereof leaving part of the inner rail surfaces exposed on either side of the apex.
  • the jacket preferably includes an apron portion which forms an extension of one of the rail legs and a guard portion winch extends perpendicular to the other rail leg and terminates in spaced overlapping relation with the jacket apron to form a partial enclosure of the exposed inner rail surfaces, the space between the guard and apron being such as to minimize the likelihood of accidental contact with the exposed rail surfaces.
  • Supporting means for the conductor rail and insulating jacket consists of hanger brackets each of which has a pair of arms resilient relative to each other, with means on each of the arms and corresponding portions of the insulating jacket for providing a self-engaging snap-on type of connection between the hanger bracket and insulating jacket.
  • each hanger bracket is capable of supporting a pair of conductor bars in their insulating jackets in side by side parallel relation, each hanger bracket consisting of a pair of members having base portions adapted to be placed in face to face rela tion, with each bracket member including one of the aforementioned arms for one rail member of the pair and the other of the aforementioned arms for the other rail member of the pair.
  • the trolleys of electrified rail constructions conventionally include a collector bracket which carries a collector shoe.
  • the improved collector shoe includes an enlarged rail contacting head, the dimensions of which transverse to the rail are greater than the aforementioned space between the guard and apron portions of the insulating jacket. These portions are relatively resilient in construction so that the enlarged head of the collector shoe may be snapped between them and into the enclosure they form for engagement with the exposed rail surfaces, but once in this enclosure, the guard portion of the jacket serves to prevent the collector shoe from jumping off the rail.
  • the conductor bar is preferably mounted with the apex thereof extending horizontal and parallel to the trolley track surface and with the legs extending above and below the apex in outwardly diverging relation to the center of the track.
  • the collector shoe is connected to the trolley collector bracket by means forming a swivel mounting whose center lies substantially at the level of the apex of the rail.
  • the shoe is provided with a rounded rail contacting portion adapted to engage the exposed rail surfaces on either side of the apex, and is also provided with rail contacting portions which are spaced longitudinally of the shoe in the direction of travel and rounded in this direction so that this shoe configuration, in combination with the swivel mounting of the collector shoe, permits the shoe to ride on the rail in self centering relation to the surfaces thereof and to maintain this relation on both inside and outside curves.
  • This swivel mounting of the collector shoe on the collector bracket also permits self-disengaging movement of the shoe from the rail when the bracket is moved away from the rail.
  • Another feature of the invention includes the provision of improved means for splicing one conductor rail section to the next section.

  • FIGURES 6 and 7 sectional elevations taken as indicated by the lines 6-5 and 7-7 respectively on FIG. 5;
  • FIGURE 8 a fragmentary end elevation showing a collector shoe disengaged from the electrified rail
  • FIGURE 9 a plan view schematically showing engagement between a collector shoe and conductor bar on inside and outside curves.
  • a track member 10 of conventional I-beam section includes a vertical web 11 and a pair of lower flanges 12 and 13 which form tracks for the wheels 14 of a trolley, one such wheel being shown riding on the flange 12.
  • the complete trolley 16 is not shown, it being understood that it would include structure extending under the rail 10 and supporting one or more wheels which would ride on the flange 13.
  • Trolley 16 would also conventionally include one or more electric motors (not shown), powered and sometimes controlled through the electrification system of the invention.
  • Each collector bracket consists of a U-shaped member 18 (FIGS. 1 and 3) which is pivotally carried on a pin 19 mounted on a wheel support 24 of the trolley, and normally urged in a clockwise direction, as viewed in FIG. 1, by a torsion spring 22 having portions 23 coiled about the pin 19, arms 24 engaging the bracket 18, and a central portion 25 reacting against the support 20.
  • a torsion spring 22 having portions 23 coiled about the pin 19, arms 24 engaging the bracket 18, and a central portion 25 reacting against the support 20.
  • Each collector shoe assembly (FIGS. 1-3) includes a shoe supporting block 26, secured to the upper portion 27 of the collector bracket 18 by bolts 28; a collector shoe 3t ⁇ , and a collector shoe arm 31 having a spherical end portion 32.
  • the supporting block 26 is made of insulating material in an upper part 34 and a lower part 35 each being provided with a semispherical seat to receive the spherical end portion 32 of the collector shoe arm, and with a slotted portion 37, which when the parts 34 and 3-5 are assembled in face to face relation, forms a longitudinally extending passage through the block and the spherical socket for receiving a lead wire 49.
  • a passage is formed in the spherical end 32 of the collector shoe arm for receiving the uninsulated end portion 42 of the lead wire, this being held in position by a set screw 43.
  • Each of the three conductors bars 44a, 44b, and 44c shown in HS. 1 is a V-shaped or angle section member having two legs 45 and 46 which intersect each other at an apex 47.
  • Each conductor bar is mounted by struc ture to be presently described, so that the apex 47 thereof extends horizontally and is directed toward the center line of the track as represented by the vertical web ll, thereby providing an outer rail surface 4% and an inner rail surface 49 on each of the legs t and as, the inner rail surfaces converging toward the track center line.
  • Each conductor bar is partially encased by an insulating jacket 5% which includes portions 52 and 53 extending over the outer rail surfaces of each of the legs and as and into overlapping engagement with the inner surfaces of the legs adjacent the ends thereof.
  • Jacket portion 53 includes an aprondike extension ss provided with a longitudinally extending L-shaped notch 57.
  • Jacket portion 52 includes a guard-like extension 58 whose end 59 lies in spaced overlapping relation with the apron 36 of the jacket portion 55 to partially enclose the exposed inner rail surfaces 49.
  • the insulating jacket is preferably extruded of some suitable plastic material such as polyvinyl chloride which is relatively flexible, has high dielectric strength and is unaffected by moisture, sunlight or chemical attack.
  • the separation between the end 59 of the guard-like extension 53 and the apron portion 56 is such as to prevent accidental contact with the exposed rail surfaces; and, since this guard-like portion extends into spaced overlapping relation with the apron portion, it acts as a drip shield to prevent any substance, liquid or solid, from falling into contact with an exposed rail surface.
  • the guard 58 of the insulating jacket extends into overlying relation with a depressed portion 33 of the collector shoe arm 31 which extends to a level below the rail contacting portions of the shoe and below the connection between the arm 31 and its spherical end portion 32.
  • the insulating jacket being of relatively flexible material, can easily be assembled to a conductor bar by simply slipping the jacket endwise over the conductor bar.
  • a hanger bracket for mounting a conductor bar in fixed relation to the path of trolley movement is constructed to hold a pair of conductor bars.
  • Each bracket includes a pair of spring-like members 62 and 63 having nested U-shaped base portions 64 and 65 respectively and pairs of arms 66 and 67.
  • Each arm 67 is provided with a U-shaped end projection 79 which is adapted to be engaged in the recess 57 of the insulating jacket.
  • Each other arm 66 ends in a rounded clip which is adapted to be snapped into engagement with the oppositely disposed jacket portion 73.
  • bracket members s2 Two pairs of bracket members s2 and as can be secured to the web ll of the track member ill in backto-back relation by a single fastening bolt '74 which holds the U-shaped bracket portions 64 and S in nested relation and holds the bracket arms 65 and 67 in position to receive the assembly of a conductor bar and insulating jacket.
  • Conductor bars are furnished in sections ofccnvenient lengths and adjacent sections are connected end-to-end relation to form a continuous rail by the splice construction shown in FIGS. 57 between conductor bar sections 446! and 446, the adjacent ends of which are indicated by the references 75 and 76 in FIG. 5.

  • a splice bar 553 is mounted on the ends of the conductor bars idd and Me in the space between the ends of their respective insulating jackets Ella. and Site. As shown in FIG.
  • the splice bar is an angle section member of a she e complementary to that of the conductor bars, having legs 81 and 52 each provided with a U-shaped terminal portion 83 so that the splice bar can be slipped over the end of a conductor bar into engagement therewith.
  • a suitable member of threaded holes are provided along one of the legs 32 of the spice bar to receive set screws 34 which secure the splice bar 343 to each or" the conductor bars 44a. and Me which it engages.
  • Lock nuts 35 are preferably mounted on the set screws 84. Wherever desired, the terminal 86 of a power lead wire 37 may be mounted on one of the set screws $4 and held in position by the lock nut mounted on that set screw.
  • the splice assembly is completed by a length of insulating jacket 5%? which, as shown in HS. 7, is shaped with end portions 8% and 91'? which can be slipped into overlapping self-engaging relation with the end portions of the insulating jackets 5dr! and Sile, a bowed configuration being provided along one leg 91 of the splice jacket 83 for clearance with the set screws 34, this clearance also providing a passage through which the end of the power lead 87 may be passed.
