  • Patent number: 11414108
    Abstract: A railroad switch circuit controller assembly includes a switch frame configured to be mounted to a stock rail, and a switch controller held by the switch frame. The switch controller includes at least one switching mechanism. The switch controller includes a point detection rod operatively connected to the at least one switching mechanism. The point detection rod extends a length from a proximate end portion to a distal end portion. The proximate end portion of the point detection rod is located closer to the stock rail as compared to the distal end portion when the switch frame is mounted to the stock rail. The railroad switch circuit controller assembly also includes a switch foot configured to be mounted to a switch rail, and an external rod operatively connected between the switch foot and the point detection rod of the switch controller such that the external rod is configured to translate linear movement of the switch foot toward and away from the stock rail to the point detection rod.

  • Patent number: 10234074
    Abstract: Examples of the disclosure enable a signal device to be securely coupled to a post. A post-mount teeter includes a stand including a first body, a first flange extending from the first body, and a platform coupled to the first body, and a base including a second body coupled to the first body, a housing coupled to the second body, a second flange extending from the housing, and a sleeve selectively moveable within a cavity defined by the housing to adjust a distance between the sleeve and the housing. Aspects of the disclosure provide for a teeter system that may be used to present signals to one or more users approaching a signal device from one or more directions.
