Abstract:
A fastening system (10) for track rail comprises a pedestal mount (12) and a track rail fastener (22) positioned upon the pedestal mount (12), the fastening system including a top plate (26), a frame (28), and an overmolded jacket (30). The system further includes a lateral positioner (46) having an eccentric (51) structured to contact the pedestal mount (12), a bore (56) and a locating pin (48) extending through the fastener body (24) and the eccentric (51) to couple a lateral location of the fastener body (24) to an angular orientation of the eccentric (51), such that rotating the eccentric (51) varies a lateral location of the fastener body (24).
Abstract:
A fastening mechanism (12) for coupling track rail (10) to a substrate (100) includes a fastener body (14) formed by a metallic base (52) and an overmolded non-metallic coating (54). Metallic pillars (30) are coupled with the fastener body (14), and define bores (32) for receiving anchors (34) held fast within a substrate (100). The coating (54) encases the metallic base (52) and extends peripherally around the metallic pillars (30) to position vibration-attenuating non-metallic material (63) between the metallic base (52) and the metallic pillars (30).
Abstract:
A direct fixation track rail fastener (10) includes a fastener body (12) having a top plate (14), a frame (16), and an overmolded jacket (18). A first and a second lateral positioner (24, 26) are positioned in positioner bores (20, 22) extending through the fastener body (12), and each includes an eccentric (28, 30). The eccentrics (28, 30) include axially extending external teeth (42, 44) interlocked with axially extending slots (38, 40) within the positioner bores (20, 22). In an aspect, the eccentrics (28, 30) are dual eccentrics each including tooth and slot interlocking arrangements with another eccentric or the frame (16).
Abstract:
A mechanism for coupling a track rail (18) to a substrate (100) includes a rail plate (48) and a base plate (46), where the rail plate (48) surrounds the base plate (46). An overmolded coating (50) is formed of a non-metallic material and encases the rail plate (48) and the base plate (46). Related methodology is disclosed.
