摘要： The railroad crossing tie-down system of the present invention includes anchor plates which are attached permanently to railroad ties with the side margins of the anchor plates projecting outwardly from the sides of the ties. The crossing elements which will be attached by the system have openings passing through them at selected locations midway between adjacent ties. Cross tie beams having nuts located at their centers have a length which is slightly greater than the distance between adjacent ties. Elongate bolts which extend through the openings in the crossing elements have threaded extremeties which will engage the nuts. Before the crossing elements are installed on the anchor plates the bolts are inserted through the openings and the cross tie beams are attached to them and are oriented so that the cross tie beams are parallel with the ties. After the crossing elements have been installed on the anchor pads the bolts are tightened which first causes the cross tie beams to rotate until their ends become jammed against the sides of the ties and then to be drawn up against the overhanging side margins of the anchor plates. Thus the side margins are squeezed between the crossing elements and the cross tie beams which attaches the crossing elements to the anchor plates.

摘要翻译： 本发明的铁路交叉系统包括固定板，其固定地固定在铁路连接件上，锚板的侧边缘从连接件的侧面向外突出。 将由系统附接的交叉元件具有穿过它们的开口穿过相邻连接件之间的选定位置。 具有位于其中心处的螺母的横梁具有稍微大于相邻连杆之间的距离的长度。 延伸穿过交叉元件中的开口的细长螺栓具有将与螺母啮合的螺纹端点。 在交叉元件安装在锚板上之前，螺栓通过开口插入，并且十字连接梁被附接到它们并且被定向成使得交叉连接梁与连接件平行。 在交叉元件已经安装在锚垫上之后，螺栓被拧紧，这首先使交叉连接梁旋转，直到它们的端部卡在绑带的侧面上，然后被压靠在锚定板的悬垂侧边缘 。 因此，侧边缘在交叉元件和将交叉元件附接到锚板的交叉连接梁之间被挤压。

摘要： A railroad grade crossing comprising a plurality of elastomeric panels that are interconnected to provide integral multiple panel crossing units. Each panel has a plurality of elongate tapered cylindrical passageways extending through it that are parallel with the tracks being crossed. Pins are partially inserted into aligned passageways in adjacent panels to interconnect adjacent panels to one another. Because the passageways are tapered, and thus create larger openings at one end of the panels and smaller openings at the other ends, the pins are divided into larger ends, which fit into the larger openings, and smaller ends, which fit into the smaller openings. If it is desired to interconnect the panels into integrated crossing units prior to installation, the pins can be attached to the passageways and the ends of adjacent panels can be attached to one another with an adhesive. This permits the combined crossing units to be transported and installed as a unit. In this case attachment devices are placed integrally in the panels to facilitate lifting the crossing units with a crane. End restraints are attached to the ties at the ends of the crossing to prevent the crossing units from moving along the tracks.

摘要翻译： 铁路坡口横梁包括多个弹性体板，其互连以提供整体的多个板交叉单元。 每个面板具有延伸穿过其的多个细长的锥形圆柱形通道，其与正在交叉的轨道平行。 引脚部分地插入相邻面板中的对准的通道中，以将相邻的面板互相互相连接。 因为通道是锥形的，并且因此在面板的一端和另一端的较小的开口处产生较大的开口，所以销被分成更大的端部，其适合于较大的开口，并且更小的端部适合于较小的开口 。 如果希望在安装之前将面板互连成一体的交叉单元，则销可以附接到通道，并且相邻面板的端部可以用粘合剂彼此附接。 这允许组合的交叉单元作为一个单元被运输和安装。 在这种情况下，连接装置整体放置在面板中以便于用起重机提升交叉单元。 端部约束装置连接到交叉口的端部处的连接件，以防止交叉单元沿着轨道移动。
