This invention relates to new and useful improvements in devices for properly spacing railway ties after the railway rails have been placed thereupon but have not been securely attached 5 thereto.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which may be supported on one of the railway rails, and which may be so manipulated as to move a tie longitudinally of the rail, in either direction.
Another object is to provide a tie-spacing device which shall'be strong and durable, as well as efficient in operation;
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a perspective'view of the device,
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the device when in use, and
Figure 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawing, designates an open, elongated rectangular supporting frame having a laterally extending arm I I formed on one of its sides, approximately midway of its ends. The outer end of this arm is turned downwardly and then inwardly to form a hook I2 adapted to overlie and engage the head of a railway rail line with the arm I I, is a pin l3 on which a rock lever I 4 is pivotally mounted within the frame. The lower end portion of this lever extends below the frame I!) and is bifurcated as shown at l5, while its upper end portion extends above the frame and is hollow so as to provide a socket for an operating bar I6,
Pivotally mounted within the furcations I5 is one end of a tie-engaging member which is in the form of a bar ll having lugs l8 and 19 formed upon and projecting in opposite directions from its upper and lower. edges, respectively. The front and rear faces of these lugs and the free end of the bar ll, all of which are adapted to engage a tie, when the device is in use, are grooved to prevent slipping. As shown in Figure 2 of the drawing, 20 designates a tie to be moved into proper spaced relation with a tie 2|.
When operating the device, it is put in position 50 for use by first engaging the hook l2 over the position with respect to the next preceding tie t 2|. The barlfi is then seated in the socket of the lever M which latter will then be in position to be rocked in a vertical plane, longitudinally of the rail. If the tie 20 to be moved is too close to the preceding; tie 2|, the lug IQ of the bar I1 is placed against the near side of the tie 20, as shown in Figure 2, whereupon said tie may be pushed into proper position by moving the bar it to rock the lever M, as will be clearly understood. If the movable tie 20 is to be drawn towards the tie 2!, however, the lug I9 is hooked over its far side and the bar [6 moved in the opposite direction. ,7 I
Should it be found necessary to move the tie 2|, this is accomplished by pushing'the operating bar it in the direction of the rail in so as to tilt the frame it to a sufficient degree to permit the bar I! to be swung on its pivot until it extends in the opposite direction. When this has upon the bar I4 is swung in the manner already described in connection with the movement of the tie 20. I
What is claimed is: i
A tie-spacing device comprising a substantially rectangular frame having a railhead unitaryclamp projecting from one side thereof adapted to support said frame free from contact with the ties, a pivot extending through said frame centrally of its length to" engage opposite sides thereof, an operating lever having alower end pivoted above its extremity on said pivot, the
lower end of said lever projecting below said
