  • the applicants have now identified improvements which may be made to such a clip 90.

  • the surface of the longitudinally- extending part is concave.
  • the rod forming the clip has a generally circular cross-section.
  • the second and third portions of the prior art clip therefore make only line contact with the flat edge of the rail, as a consequence of which the contact pressures are high and premature wear takes place, generating a flat on the clip in these regions and consequently causing some slight gauge widening.

  • the pre-formed flat faces 2A and 3A on the second and third portions 2,3 of the clip 9 serve to prevent the gauge widening which would otherwise occur in these regions if they were of round cross-section and a flat face was worn on these regions.
  • Such pre-formed flat faces could also advantageously be applied to a rail clip not having a flat face or concave channel on the downward leg.
  • a clip 9 having ,the flat faces 1A, 2A and 3A can be made using the method illustrated in Figures 9 (A) to 9(D) .
  • Fig. 9(A) a pre-bent form is supported horizontally and the flat faces 1A, 2A and 3A are formed by pressing in the direction of arrow A.
  • the partially-formed clip is then supported vertically (Fig. 9(B)) and a force applied in the direction of arrow B (Fig. 9(C)) to the part which is to form the seventh portion 7 in order to bend that part to its final shape, thereby forming a clip embodying the present invention (Fig. 9(D)).

Abstract

L'invention concerne une bride (9) de fixation de rail de chemin de fer résiliante, composée d'abord d'une première partie sensiblement droite (1), puis d'une seconde partie courbe (2), ensuite d'une troisième partie sensiblement droite (3) dont l'axe forme un angle sensiblement supérieur à 45° avec l'axe de la première partie (1), ces deux axes se trouvant dans le même plan, puis d'une quatrième partie (4) qui forme un U, d'une cinquième partie (5), d'une sixième partie (6) formant un autre U, et enfin d'une septième partie (7). La forme de la première partie (1) définit une zone (1B) de surface généralement cylindrique s'étendant sur toute sa longueur ainsi qu'une section (1A) longitudinale dont la surface est moins convexe que la zone (1B) de surface généralement cylindrique de la première partie (1). La seconde partie (2) et la troisième partie (3) sont de préférence au moins partiellement dotées de surfaces (2A, 3A) sensiblement plates sur leurs côtés respectifs, en contact avec le rail lorsque la bride (9) est en place.
