摘要:
A rail brace assembly for bracing a rail with respect to a tie plate. The rail brace assembly includes a brace member, a locking member, a retention member and a spring clip fastener. The brace member has a top surface adapted to engage a head fishing surface of the rail, a bottom surface adapted to engage a base fishing surface of the rail, a front friction surface and an outwardly extending toe. The retention member is adapted to be attached to the tie plate and includes a bore adapted to receive a first end of the fastener and a recess adapted to receive the toe of the brace member to thereby prevent vertical movement of the brace member and the rail. The locking member has a front surface, a rear friction surface adapted to engage the front friction surface of the brace member, and a pair of spaced apart outwardly extending legs which straddle the retention member. A first end of the fastener is inserted into the bore of the retention member and a second end of the fastener biases the rear friction surface of the locking member into interlocking engagement with the front friction surface of the brace member to thereby inhibit lateral movement of the brace member with respect to the locking member.

A railroad trackwork railbound frog assembly having a toe point element is provided with a pair of spaced-apart wing rail elements each having a notch recess feature, a pair of reversible and interchangeable spaced-apart wing rail insert elements, usually fabricated of a manganese alloy steel or a high-strength, low-alloy steel material that is harder than the material from which the wing rail elements are manufactured, installed in abutting relation to the wing rail element notch recesses, spacer blocks that maintain the separations between the toe point, wing rail, and wing rail insert elements, and bolt-type fastener devices joining the elements of the frog assembly into a unitary structure.

A support block for a guard rail assembly has a vertical wall with non parallel front and rear surfaces. A pair of spaced legs project laterally from the front surface of the vertical wall. One of the legs has inner and outer side walls which are joined by an outer end wall. The inner and outer side walls extend different distances from the front surface such that the outer end wall tapers and is non parallel to the front surface.

A method and apparatus for producing a tobacco rod of predictable characteristics whereby the tobacco filler is tempered prior to forming into a rod in a cigarette making apparatus. The tobacco filler is tempered prior to entry into the maker region to a temperature of from 32.degree. F. to just below ambient. Heat exchange coils are provided in a feed chamber wherein the tobacco filler is recirculated for tempering to desired temperature prior to being fed to the maker on a continuous basis.

A rail brace assembly is adapted to buttress the head of a stock rail selected from one of two different stock rail groups mounted on the top surface of a brace plate. The assembly includes a stop block assembly also is affixed to the brace plate top surface. A rail brace moveable between a first brace position in which it buttresses the head of a rail from a first stock rail group and a second brace position in which it buttresses the head of a rail from a second stock rail group, has a pair of spaced side walls, a upwardly facing top surface, first rail group head and base fishing surface contact areas, second rail group head and base fishing surface contact areas, a first rail group brace plate contact surface and a second rail group brace plate contact surface. An elastic fastener cooperates with a clip housing to clamp the rail brace against the stock rail. When the rail brace is in the first brace position the first rail group head and base fishing surface contact areas engage the rail head and base fishing surface areas, the first rail group brace plate contact surface contacts the brace plate and the second rail group head fishing surface contact area engages the stop block assembly. When the rail brace is in the second brace position the second rail group head and base fishing surface contact areas engage the head and base fishing surfaces of the stock rail, the second rail group brace plate contact surface contacts the brace plate and the first rail group head fishing surface contact area engages the stop block assembly.
