DANIEL B. FABER, OF UI-IRICI-ISVILLE, OHIO, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-THIRD TO HENRY O.
SNYDER, OF UI-IRICHSVILLE, OHIO.
RAILWAY-RAIL SUPPORT OR CHAIR.
Application filed March 3, 1916.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DANIEL B. FABER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Uhrichsville, in the county of Tuscarawas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railway- Rail Supports or Chairs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in railway rail supports or chairs and has for one of its objects to simplify and improve the construction and increase the efficiency and utility of devices of this character.
Another object of the invention is to provide a simply constructed device which may be applied to the confronting ends of a pair of rails and by means of which the rails are supported and rendered as rigid at the joints as at other portions.
\Vith these and otherobjects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims; and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved device applied with the supporting ties in transverse section; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows; Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing one of the main clamping members adjusted longitudinally to enable the clamping members to be separated; Fig. 4 is an end elevation with the parts arranged as in Fig. 1, one of the rails being in section on the line 4- 1 of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is a transverse section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1; Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 4, showing the parts disconnected with one of the main clamping members partially detached; Figs. 7 and 8 are detached perspective views on a reduced scale of the main clamping members; Fig. 9 is a view similar to Fig. 1, illustrating a modification in the construction; Fig. 10 is a transverse section on the line 10-10 of Fig. 9; Figs. 11 and 12 are enlarged perspective views of the locking keysemployed in the modification illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10; Fig. 13 is an enlarged perspective view of the locking plate employed in connection with the key devices shown in Figs. 11 and 12.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indi- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 19, 1916. Serial No. 81,973.
body portions 10-11 which bear beneath the flanges of the rails, the latter being designated by the characters 12-13, and engaging face to face beneath the rails. The body portion 10 is likewise provided with a portion 14; engaging over the flanges of the rails at one side of the web, while the body portion 11 is provided with a similar extension 15 bearing over the upper faces of the flanges of the rails at the opposite sides of the webs, as illustrated in Figs. 4c and 5.
The confronting faces of the body portions 10-11 it will be noted extend for a relatively great distance beneath the rails, thus firmly supporting the latter and likewise coacting to support each other against lateral displacement. At their ends the body portions 10-11 are reduced as shown respectively at 16-17 and bear by the reduced portions upon ties 18 of the usual construction. The improved bearing members may be applied at the junctures of a pair of the rails, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, or may be applied to the rails intermediate their ends, as may be preferred.
Formed in the inner face of the body portion of one of the bearing members, for instance the member 10, is a longitudinally directed channel, indicated as a whole at 19, while the body portion of the other clamping member is provided with a longitudinally directed rib, indicated at 20, and adapted to enter the channel, as shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6. The bottom of the channel 19 is inclined downwardly and outwardly, or toward the outer face of the clamping member, as shown and the upper portion of the channel 19 and the upper portion of the rib 20 are correspondingly curved to enable the rib to fit closely within the channel when the parts are united, while at the same time the clamp members may be readily separated laterally when required. By forming the bottom of the channel and the bottom of the rib inclined, as shown, the clamp members can not be separated by movement directly away from each other, but it is necessary to swing one of the members from the lower edge, as illustrated in Fig. 6.
Formed through the body portions 10-11 of the clamp members are key ways indicated conventionally at 2122, and fitting through the key-ways is a holding key 23, preferably enlarged at one end, as shown at 24, and held in place by a cotter pin or like device 25. By this means the main clamp members may be firmly supported and connected together and attached to the rails.
Formed in one of the body portions of the clamping member, for instance in the body portion 10, are a plurality of lateral sockets 26, each socket having a longitudinal extension 27 at one end. Projecting from the body portion of the other clamp member are studs 28 corresponding in number to the sockets or cavities 26 and each with a longitudinally directed terminal extension 29 to engage respectively in the extensions 27 of the sockets 26, as illustrated in Fig. 2.
To apply the improved device the member having the studs 28 will be moved longitudinally of the member having the sockets a distance equal to the length of one of the extension portions 29 of the studs, and the sockets 26 will be so located that when the member containing the studs is thus moved the studs, together with their extensions 29, will be disposed opposite the entrance to the sockets 26. The member containing the studs is then moved toward the member containing the sockets until their confronting faces are in contact and the studs are wholly disposed within the sockets. The member containing the studs is then moved longitudinally of the member containing the sockets which will dispose the projections 29 within the extensions 27 of the sockets, as shown in Fig. 2, and thus firmly lock the members from lateral displacement. The parts are so constructed that when the main clamping members are disposed in locked position the terminals 16-17 are disposed in opposite relation or with their ends in alinement transversely, as shown in Fig. 1. The confronting faces of the projections 29 and the extensions 27 are preferably inclined to the longitudinal plane or axis of the clamping members, as shown in Fig. 2, to cause the parts 10-11 to be drawn into close relations when moved endwise, as before stated.
If preferred, vertical webs 3031 may be formed upon the flange engaging portions 1l15 and extended for engagement with the web portions of the rails, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the webs being reduced or tapered toward their upper edges. In this modification vertically elongated apertures are formed through the webs of the rails and likewise through the members 30-3l to receive a key device illustrated more fully in Fig. 11 and comprising a central body portion 32 and T-heads 33-34. In inserting the key member the latter is turned upon edge and one of the T-heads is passed through one set of the registering apertures in the flanges of the rails and the webs 3031 and then turned with the T-heads horizontal, as shown in Fig. 9. A wedge key 35 is then inserted through the registering apertures above the key member 32 and when driven into posit-ion will force the T- heads 3334: into engagement with the tapered faces of the webs 3031 and thus draw the webs tightly into engagement with the flanges of the rails and firmly lock the members 30-31 to the rail. The wedge member 35 is formed with a T-head 36 to limit its movement in one direction. A locking plate, represented in detail at 37 in Fig. 13, is employed to lock the key 35 in position, and formed with an elongated opening 38 through which one of the "i'-heads of the various forms and sizes and without structural change or cutting or otherwise reduc- 9 ing the strength of the rails. The extensions 16-17 are provided with spike or bolt receiving apertures, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A railway rail support comprising coacting members engaging over the flanges and beneath the rails, one of said members having a longitudinally directed channel and the other member having a longitudinally directed rib engaging in said channel, the contiguous faces of said rib and channel being directed obliquely to the transverse axis of the members and the confronting faces of the members engaging face to face above and below the channel and rib, and means for holding said members from movement away from each other.
