Abstract
A rail mount secures a longitudinally extending rail having a foot to a sleeper of a track system. The mount has a rail base plate on the sleeper underneath the rail foot and unitarily formed with a pair of upwardly projecting holders transversely flanking the rail and each formed with at least one vertically throughgoing bore. Respective anchor bolts engaged vertically downward through the bores have heads bearing downward at least indirectly on the respective holders and are seated in the sleeper to hold the base plate down on the sleeper. Respective elastically deformable clips fitted to the holders below the respective anchor-bolt heads bear upwardly on the holders and downwardly on the rail foot to press the rail downwardly toward the sleeper.
Claims19
A rail mount for securing a longitudinally extending rail having a foot to a sleeper of a track system, the mount comprising:
- a rail base plate on the sleeper underneath the rail foot of a one piece configuration formed unitarily with a pair of upwardly projecting holders transversely flanking the rail and each formed with at least one vertically throughgoing bore;
- respective anchor bolts engaged vertically downward through the bores, having heads bearing downward on the respective holders, and seated in the sleeper to hold the base plate down on the sleeper;
- and respective elastically deformable clips fitted to the holders below the respective anchor-bolt heads and bearing upwardly on the holders and downwardly on the rail foot to press the rail is downwardly toward the sleeper.
A rail mount for securing a longitudinally extending rail having a foot to a sleeper of a track system, the mount comprising:
- a rail base plate on the sleeper underneath the rail foot and unitarily formed with a pair of upwardly projecting holders transversely flanking the rail and each formed with at least one vertically throughgoing bore;
- respective anchor bolts engaged vertically downward through the bores and seated in the sleeper to hold the base plate down on the sleeper;
- respective elastically deformable clips bearing upwardly on the holders and downwardly on the rail foot to press the rail downwardly toward the sleeper;
- and
- respective elastic lateral sliding inserts between the abutment humps and respective transverse ends of the rail base plate.
A rail mount for securing a longitudinally extending rail having a foot to a track-system sleeper having a pair of transversely spaced abutment humps, the mount comprising:
- a rail base plate between the humps, on the sleeper, underneath the rail foot, and unitarily formed with a pair of upwardly projecting holders transversely flanking the rail and each formed with at least one vertically throughgoing bore;
- respective anchor bolts engaged vertically downward through the bores and seated in the sleeper to hold the base plate down on the sleeper;
- respective elastically deformable clips bearing upwardly on the holders and downwardly on the rail foot to press the rail downwardly toward the sleeper;
- respective inserts between each of the humps and a respective outer edge of the base plate;
- and
- transversely interengaging complementary formations on the inserts, the base-plate outer edges, and sleeper engaging transversely in each other and preventing relative longitudinal movement of the sleeper, inserts, and base plate.
