The device described is simple and cheap to manufacture, since all the parts can beformed by castin r and require practically no machine work. dhere are only a few pieces, which are not liable to breakage nor can they wear out so that re airs are reduced to a minimum. The device can be plied and to a rail in any osition. It is so constructed that it grips t e rail base very firmly, giving it maximum holding power.
Various modifications may be made in the device, such as using in lieu of the block 10 and screw 1] a tapering wed e driven in from the side between the jaw am? the rail base, or making the clamping member in two pieces constructed and arranged to be'drawn by a E former wedge or the like toward the axis of the red. 'aws to be closed cations will also suggest themselves to those skilled in the art.
What I claim is:
I. An anti-creeping device for rails, comprisi a clampin member constructed to extent underneut the rail and rovided with'jaws fittin over the edges 0 the rail base, one of; suit jaws having a sharpened or biting edge and constructed to contact with the top tuperin surface of the rail base at a constant angle mm the horizontal less than the angle of said base and bite into the some, and means for musing said jaws to grip the rail base.
2. .\n anti-creeping device for rails, vomprising' a elampin member constructed to engage underneath the rail and rovided with jaws iittin over the edges 0 the rail husc, one of sniil jaws being ronstruoted to contact with the tapered top surface thereof easily apway l l i l at an angle from the horizontal less than the angle of said base, and one of said jaws being formed of a laterally moving wedge, whereby on the movement thereof the jaws grip the rail base.
3. An anti-creeping devive for rails, comprising a clamping member constructed to extent undemeath the rail rovided at its ends with jaws fitting over t \e edges of the rail base, one jaw having a less taper than the taper of the rail base, and one jaw being formed of a wedge block fitting in a and engaging the rail base and 1y its wed ing action clamping the jaws upon the rail iase.
4. An anti-creeping device for rails, oomprisin a (damping member constructed to GXtGIM underneath the rail rovided at its ends with jaws fitting over the edges of the rail base, one jaw having a less taper than the ta er of the rail base, and one jaw being of a wedge block fitting in a guideway and enga ing the rail base, and means for forcing saifi wedge block against the rail base and thereby reusing the jaws to grip the same.
5. An anti-ereeping device for rails, comprising a clampin member constructed to extend underneat the rail rovided at its ends with jaws fitting over tiie edges of the rail base, one jaw having a less taper than the taper of the rail base, and one jaw being formed of a wedge block fitting in a guideway and engagin the rail base, and u horizontally arranger? screw operating on said wedge block, thereby ar-ting o muse the jaws to grip the rail base.
