  • Patent Plasser et al. [451 Aug. 8, 1972 1 MOBILE TRACK SURFACING 2,052,943 9/1936 Scheuchzer ..104/12 MACHINE FOREIGN PATENTS OR APPLICATIONS [72] Inventors: lh'anz Plasser, Vienna; Ekkehardt Benda, Linz-Urfahr, both of A tria 1,156,533 12/1957 France ..104/12 i 118 370 0/1958 U.S.S.R., ..104/12 73 Bal 1 Assgngei mf t' f f f 1,106,790 5/1961 Germany..
  • the present invention relates to improvements in mobile track surfacing machines, such as track tampers and/or track leveling or lining machines.
  • a vibratory surface tamping body mounted on a carrier pivotal in a vertical plane transverse to the track and extending to the ballast laterally adjacent the track, a fixed tamping plate on the body being placed in tamping contact with the ballast by the vertical adjustment of the carrier.
  • the body of the tamping body constitutes a housing for the vibrating means for vibrating the body and the tamping plate.
  • a second tamping plate may be hinged to the fixed horizontal tamping plate and extend in an oblique plane conforming to the slope of the ballast along the edges of the railroad bed,
  • Such improved vibratory surface tampers may be readily exchanged and replaced so that it is unnecessary to store a variety of tampers for different operating conditions.
  • the adjustable tamping plates are held rigidly in their selected angular positions in respect of the tamping body with which the vibrating means is associated so that the plates remain fixed in this positions after they have been selected to fit local ballast surface configurations. In this manner, the vibrating means is evenly and simultaneously effective in respect of all the fixed tamping plates, whatever their relative angular position.
  • the carrier for the vibrating surface tamping body may be pivotally mounted on the frame for pivoting in a vertical plane transverse to the track, and the tamping body may extend over the ballast laterally adjacent the track to tamp the flanks of the ballast bed.
  • two abutting tamping plates are hinged to the surface tamping body along a line extending centrally of the body.
  • 'three abutting tamping plates are hingedly connected along two symmetrically extending lines, with a central tamping plate being fixed in relation to, or forming a part of, the tamping body while two lateral tamping plates are angularly adjustable in respect of the central tamping plate.
  • the tamping plates need not be hinged to each other nor need they be abutting. All that is required is that they are pivotal so as to adjust their relative angular position.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a combined track leveling and lining machine of generally conventional construction
  • FIG. 2 is side view, partly in section, of a mounting of a vibratory surface tamper on the machine frame
  • FIGS. 3 to 10 schematically illustrate various embodiments and modifications of tamping plate arrangements according to this invention.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown an elongated frame 1 of a combined track leveling and lining machine running on track 3 on wheels 2, the track ties 4 resting on ballast bed 8.
  • An overhanging portion of the machine frame carries the track lifting apparatus 5 and the tie tamping means 6 for fixing the leveled track in position after it has been graded by apparatus 5.
  • a track lining apparatus 7 is mounted between the front and rear wheels to move the track laterally.
  • the machine frame also carries an elongated surface tamper 9 for tamping the ballast laterally adjacent the track in the general region of the track lining apparatus so that the ballast may be tamped on the side of the track from which it has been laterally moved during lining.
  • a similar surface tamper 9' may also be carried on the frame in the region of the track lifting apparatus 5.
  • a carrier 11 is mounted on frame 1 for vertical adjustment so as to place the tamping plates of the tamping body in tamping contact with the surface of the track ballast upon operation of a suitable drive 11 for moving the carrier.
  • the vertically adjustable mounting is more clearly shown in FIG. 2 although, being also conventional, it will be described only briefly.
  • the carrier arm 11 is shown to extend laterally from machine frame 1 and connected to the frame by linkages operated by a pressure fluid operated drive to adjust the carrier vertically as well as horizontally in relation to the ballast bed surface.
  • the free outer end of arm 11 carries the surface tamping body 12 which houses a vibrating means, such as a cam shaft.
  • the body 12 is freely pivotal on the carrier so that it may readily conform to the surface configuration of the ballast.
  • brackets have a series of bores 15a, shown to be arcuately arranged in a circle whose center is the hinge 18, and the brackets 16 have a bore arranged in the same circle so that these bores may be brought into registry in selected angular positions.
  • a bolt or like connecting element is then inserted into registering bores of brackets 15, 16 to hold the tamping plates rigidly on the tamping body.
  • vibration damping elements 17 are interposed between the carrier 1 1 and the tamping body 12, a mounting plate being interposed between the carrier and the tamping body.
  • the present invention is not concerned with the vibration damping arrangement and a useful arrangement of this type is disclosed and claimed in an application filed simultaneously herewith and entitled Mobile Track Surfacing Machine, of which one of the joint inventors is also a joint inventor.
  • This vibration damping arrangement will prevent the vibrations produced by cam shafts l9 housed in the tamping body 12 to be transmitted to the machine frame.
  • FIGS. 2, 3, 5, 6, 9 and 10 show pairs of pivotal abutting tamping plates 13, 14 which are hinged to the tamping body at 18 along a line extending centrally of the tamping body.
  • FIGS. 4, 7 and 8 show embodiments wherein three abutting tamping plates are hingedly connected at 18, 18' along two lines symmetrically extending along the surface tamping body 12.
  • the two lateral tamping plates 13', 14' are angularly adjustable in respect of the central tamping plate 21, which may simply be the flat underside of the taming body 12.
  • Two hinges 18', 18' extend along the lateral edges of the tamping body for pivotally mounting the lateral tamping plates 13, 14' on this body, a steplessly adjustable turnbuckle 22, including a threaded bolt and nut, connecting the pivotal plates to the tamping body to hold them rigidly in selected angular positions.
  • the two lateral pivotal tamping plates are hinged to the central fixed tamping plate along hinges extending symmetrically along the tamping body 12 at lines spaced inwardly from the edges of this body.
  • FIGS. 5 to 10 illustrate the ready adaptability of such vibratory surface tampers to a great variety of ballast surface configurations, in which the pivotally adjusted tamping plates of the tamper are in firm tamping contact with flat and/or sloping ballast surfaces.
  • Many other positional variations will be obvious to those skilled in the art, thus indicating the outstanding adaptability of the described and illustrated tamping plate mounting.
  • the tamping plates be arranged so as best to suit local surface conditions but, as FIGS. 5 and 10, as well as FIGS. 7 and 8, show, the weight of the tamping body and its vibratory drive may also be so arranged in respect of the tamping plates as to obtain the most effective result at the ballast point that requires tamping most.
