Definitions

  • the pad 3 is laid on the support structure, the rail is laid on the pad, the block is located on the bolt and abutted against the rail, the clip is positioned on the block and bolt, and the nut is applied.
  • the bolt being exposed is readily accessible for application of and tightening of the nut and as the nut is tightened the toe is applied against the rail flange. Due to the different angular displacement of the toe sides, as the nut tightens the toe will roll on the rail until the principal clamping effort is between the rounded underface of the toe at 15 and theflange at the region of the toe midway between the sides of the toe. This will allow some displacement of the rail without shear forces being set up at a mechanical interlock between the rail and the clip.
  • a clip as claimed in claim 4 in which the free edge of the toe part is upturned to provide a rounded region displaced from the free edge of the toe to bear upon the flange.
  • a fastening assembly for securing a rail to a support, the assembly comprising a parallel-sided resilient strip which is deformed to define a base part for attachment to the support with an edge extending between said sides directed toward the rail flange, an outer part extending upwardly from the base part and a clamping part extending from the outer part toward the rail and terminating in a toe part for engaging the rail flange, the toe part having an edge extending between said parallel sides, and a block on which the base part is positionable, openings in the base part and the block for receiving a fastening member for fastening the base part and the block together, and the clamping part being angled relative to the base part to diverge from the base part in the direction of the toe to provide direct access to a fastening member when received by the aperture.
