  • Patent number: 7063269
    Abstract: A rail support plate for use in a rail support system. The plate has an open slotted hole on one side and a hole on its other side. This plate is placed over a set of opposed holes in a support structure. One of these opposed holes has a fixedly secured anchor bolt that can be easily engaged by the open slotted hole of the plate. A securing bolt is inserted into the hole of the plate and into the aligned hole of the support structure. This arrangement permits easy removal and/or addition of a rail support plate from underneath a rail without the need to remove the rail from the support structure. Several rail support plates can be used along the length of the rail whereby the anchor bolts are arranged in a staggered pattern relative to the other.

  • Patent number: 6149068
    Abstract: This invention relates to rail anchorages that are used with all rails, but is particularly concerned with adjustable rail anchorages, which allow rail alignment to be adjusted, and which are installed on rails used by cranes. To reduce this rail movement and to help limit vertical uplift of the rail, pressure is applied to the rail flange by resilient material attached to the part of the rail anchorage that overhangs the rail flange. The object of this invention is to provide support to the resilient material in a way that its length can be increased from the bonded surface or outside of the pocket in which it is installed. The invention allows for a greater variation in rail size and rail elevation that can be accommodated with one rail anchorage type and differing lengths of the resilient material. Please refer to FIG. 12 in the accompanying drawings.

  • Patent number: 6092735
    Abstract: An adjustable rail anchorage device including a rail clip and a cam rotatable around a fixed mounting bolt for laterally moving the rail clip into anchoring position on the rail. The cam includes a passageway for the mounting bolt and a circular boss portion with an outer circular wall having a gap defined at projected wall positions where the projected perimeter of the wall approximately coincides with the projected perimeter of the passageway to transfer lateral loads from the rail to the mounting bolt. A welded platform base with a raised haunch for locating the mounting bolt can be used to transfer lateral loads from the rail to the raised haunch.

  • Patent number: 4037384
    Abstract: An anchorage assembly for securing structural members to a solid concrete base employs a bolt and washer arrangement. The concrete is formed or drilled with a blind hole and one end of the bolt, carrying the washer, is entered into it. The construction of the washer and its relationship to the size of the cavity, the bolt shank and head or nut on the bolt allows it to enter the hole, but when the bolt and nut are tightened to secure the structural member, the washer jams. The bolt can previously be adjusted within the hole so that its emergent parts is correctly positioned. Grouting can be carried out further to secure the assembly.
