Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in apparatus for raising railroad tracks, and more particularly to an improved support for the forward end of a mobile track tamping and grading machine.
  • Machines of this type and including vertically movable track gripping means mounted preferably at the forward end of the machine are known. Such machines have been used for track grading and are designed not only for raising the track to a predetermined grade but for holding the raised track at the grade level while it is fixed in position by tamping an adjacent tie.
  • This frame support is mounted on the frame for vertical adjustment and includes a jack with a vertically movable support member engageable with the ballast.
  • the load is shared by the vertically movable track gripping means and the vertically movable support member, the load on each being selected by selecting the forces applied to the respective track raising means.
  • Tamper jacks as such are known.
  • a machine support member is lowered against the ballast to lift the machine, track gripping means being mounted on the machine frame to engage the track so that the machine and the attached track are raised simultaneously as the jack is operated.
  • Such stationary track gripping means could be arranged anywhere, for instance on the jack cylinder.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of the forward portion of a mobile track tamping and grading machine incorporating the features of this invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a vertical section, taken transversely to the direction of the track elongation, of a track raising means associated with one of the track rails, and a machine frame support.
  • the track raising apparatus is illustrated in connection with an otherwise conventional track tamping and grading machine having a frame 1 mounted on wheels 24 for mobility on a track including a pair of rails 10 and ties 12. resting on ballast 13.
  • the machine has an overhanging forward end holding ballast tamping tool means 19, the features and functioning of the latter not being described herein since they are well known and form no part of the present invention.
  • the track raising mechanism of this invention is mounted at the forward end of the frame 1 and includes a carriage 3 mounted for free vertical movement on vertical guide rod 2 affixed to the forward end of frame 1.
  • a carriage 3 mounted for free vertical movement on vertical guide rod 2 affixed to the forward end of frame 1.
  • One such carriage and guide rod are associated with a respective rail engaging device associated with each rail 10, and a support beam 26 extends transversely of the track and is journaled in the carriages 3, 3 for vertical movement therewith.
  • Means is provided for vertically moving the carriages 3, 3 with the support beam 26, this means including a hydraulic jack connected to each carriage.
  • each jack includes a cylinder 4 divided into two chambers by piston 5 moving in the cylinder under the pressure of fluid supplied to a respective one of these chambers.
  • the upper end of each cylinder is linked to frame 1 at 7 while the lower end of piston rod 6 is linked to carriage 3. In this manner, the carriages and the support beam may be vertically moved upon selective supply of pressure fluid to the chambers of cylinder 4.
  • Each carriage 3 has pivotally mounted thereon a support bracket or web 8 carrying generally conventional track gripping means so that the track gripping means are vertically moved with the vertical movement of the carriages.
  • the illustrated track gripping means include a rail engaging device associated with each of the track rails 10, one such device being shown in FIG. 2 and the other device associated with the second rail being identical herewith. As is well known, such rail engaging devices grip the rails with a plier-like grip and continuously engage the rails during forward movement of the machine with gripping rollers 11, 11.
  • a machine frame support com prising support beam 26 extends transversely of the track and is journaled in carriages 3, 3 whereby the beam is mounted on the forward end of the frame for vertical movement in relation thereto.
  • a bracket 14 at each end of the support beam 26 carries the cylinder 27 of a doubleacting jack with a vertically movable support member 28 engageable with ballast 13 and moving in cylinder 27 serving as a guide.
  • This frame support is thus mounted on the frame adjacent the track gripping means 9, 11, support jacks of this general type being known per se.
  • the support member is attached to the lower end of piston rod 29 whose other end carries piston 30 which is vertically slidably mounted in cylinder 27.
  • Pressure fluid may be selectively supplied to the respective cylinder chambers through conduits 31 and 32 to lower the support member 28 into engagement with the ballast or to raise the same off the ground into a non-supporting position.
  • An apparatus for raising a track resting on ballast comprising the combination of:
  • a machine frame support including a vertically movable member supporting the frame upon engagement with the ballast and a guide wherein said member moves;
  • (d) means mounting the track gripping means and the guide for common free vertical movement in respect of the machine frame.
  • An apparatus for raising a track having two rails resting on ballast comprising the combination of:
  • a machine frame support including a vertically movable member supporting the frame upon engagement with the ballast and a guide fixedly mounted on the support beam, the vertically movable member moving in said guide.
