    摘要: An e-clip installation machine for securing rails to steel ties via automating and reducing the time required for installing e-clips that attach rails to steel ties is provided. The e-clip installation machine automates the process of securing rails to steel ties via inserting e-clips into a respective shoulder clip on either side of the two rails. A pair of hydraulic jaws clamp the steel tie and bring it up against the underside of the rails. Two e-clips for each rail are placed in position at the respective shoulder clips. Two pairs of hydraulic clamp mechanisms, corresponding to each rail, press the respective e-clips through openings within the respective shoulder clips. The e-clip installation assembly includes a jaw assembly and two clamp assemblies. Each clamp assembly includes a pair of clamp mechanisms, positionable on either side of a rail in proximity to a shoulder clip affixed to a steel tie. A clamp mechanism is utilized to compress an e-clip within an opening of the shoulder clip.

    摘要: A fastening system or apparatus for securing a rail to the underlying railroad tie includes a pad, two insulators attached to the pads and two shoulders attached to the ties. An interference fit is formed between the insulators and the shoulders to capture the pad between the shoulders. The insulators are pre-attached to the pad. The mating protrusions of the shoulders and pad allows for ease of insertion such that the pad assembly can be shipped together with the underlying tie.

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.

    摘要: A rail brace assembly provides positive support for a stock rail mounted on a switch brace plate. The assembly includes a rail brace that it is installed over a fixed block attached to the brace plate. The block has a slot and a channel that accept a mating rib and tapered wings connected to the underside of the rail brace. The interaction of these elements provides vertical restraint for the rail brace. The brace assembly includes a stop that is secured to the brace plate and a tapered wedge that is disposed between the stop and the rail brace. Upon driving the wedge longitudinally of the rail, lateral force is applied to the rail brace and the rail. The stop and the wedge employ a longitudinally extending tongue and groove to prevent relative vertical movement therebetween. The junction between the wedge and the rail brace is defined by mating convex-concave surfaces. A shear member such as a cotter pin prevents the wedge from being retracted once the wedge has been driven to a desired longitudinal position. Because the wedge cannot be moved inadvertently, lateral force will be applied continuously to the rail brace by the wedge.
