Abstract: The present application describes a rail clip assembly, particularly but not exclusively for securing a crane rail to a flanged girder. The assembly comprises a first part adapted to be attached to the rail support surface adjacent the rail, a second part overlying the first part and having a lateral surface for abutment with a lateral face of the rail, and a bolt for fixing the second part to the first part independently of attachment of the first part to the rail support surface. The parts have aligned apertures through which the bolt extends, one of the apertures being elongate to enable the second part to assume different positions relative to the first part. The elongate aperture extends in a direction inclined at an acute angle to the longitudinal direction of the rail. The first and second parts have cooperating laterally directed surfaces which are abutted in all relative positions of the parts for transmitting to the first part laterally directed forces applied to the second part by the rail.

Abstract: A device for clamping a railroad rail to a concrete tie includes a hollow vertical member which projects down into the tie alongside the rail and has an interior bearing surface which projects downwardly and inwardly toward the centerline of the tie. A generally C-shaped spring is disposed with its upper end abutting an upwardly facing surface on the rail and its center portion projecting down into the hollow member, the lower end of the spring abutting the bearing surface. A wedge acts between another interior bearing surface on the member and the center portion of the spring to flex the latter somewhat and cause the spring to clamp the rail tightly against the tie.

Abstract: A rail clip assembly comprises a body for overlying a portion of a rail and for overlying an adjacent portion of a rail support means, the body having a first surface for abutment with a lateral face of the rail and an aperture for receiving means for securing the body to the rail support means, the aperture being elongate in a direction inclined at an acute angle to the direction of extent of the rail, and securing means including a first securing member for overlying the body and having an aperture therein for alignment with the aperture in the body and for receiving a second securing member which extends therethrough and through the elongate aperture in the body, the first securing member having a surface which in use abuts a second surface of the body in all positions of the body relative to the securing means for transmitting laterally directed forces applied by the rail to the body from the body to the first securing member, the second surface of the body extending in a plane inclined to the rail suppor

Abstract: A rail clip assembly for securing for example a crane rail to a girder, comprises a first part to be securely attached, e.g. by welding or bolting, to the planar surface of the girder adjacent the rail, and a second part to be fixed to the first part independently of attachment of the first part to the girder. The second part has a lateral surface for abutment with a lateral face of the rail and the parts have laterally directed cooperating surfaces by which forces applied by the rail to the clip assembly are transmitted via the second part to the first part of the clip assembly. The cooperating surfaces are inclined to the direction of extent of the rail and the second part has an elongate aperture for receiving the fixing means which is elongate in the same direction to permit relative adjustment movement between the parts while maintaining the cooperating surfaces in contact.
