| 20080257973 | RAILROAD SIGNAL LINE ATTACHMENT CLIP - The present disclosure relates to a system and method for non-invasively attaching components to railroad track rails. More specifically, an anchor is provided that securely fastens to the track rail in a non-invasive manner for holding one or more signal lines to a surface of the track rail. In one embodiment, the non-invasive anchor utilizes a compressive force to clamp to a flange portion of the track rail. In this regard, first and second body members of the anchor may be advanced toward the toward opposing surfaces of track rail to compress the component between a portion of the anchor and a surface of the track rail. In one embodiment, a pawl prevents the withdrawal of these body members from one another such that the compressive force may be maintained once the anchor is applied to the track rail. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080315003 | METHOD FOR JOINING MODEL RAILROAD TIE STRIPS AND TRACKWORK WITH AN ALIGNMENT CLIP - A method for joining multiple lengths of pre-cut strips of interconnected model railroad ties, interconnected track switch ties and other track components to form a single flexible assembly of trackwork.

| 20090294546 | TWO-PIECE RAIL SEAL CLIP AND TOOL FOR INSTALLING SAME - A clip for securing a rail seal element to a rail includes a generally L-shaped first clip member having a clamping arm and an elongate connector arm extending from one end of the clamping arm and capable of passing under the rail; a second clip member removably slidable on the connector arm; and a locking mechanism capable of releasably locking the second clip member against sliding movement along the connector arm. In use, the second clip member is removed from the connector arm so that the connector arm can be passed under the rail with minimum disruption of the ballast. The second clip member is then slid back onto the connector arm, and the assembled clip then oriented so that the rail and the rail seal are positioned between the clamping arm and the second clip member. The second clip member is then slid on the connector arm toward the clamping arm so as to tightly press the rail and rail seal therebetween. Finally, the second clip member is locked onto the arm to prevent the clip from releasing the rail and rail seal. A tool for setting the clip includes a lever arm, and cam body and a pivot pin mounted on a nose of the cam body. By this means, movement of the second clip member toward the clamping arm is caused by inserting the pivot pin into a tool notch on the first clip member and thereafter pivoting the tool, about the pivot pin, toward the clamping arm. Subsequent pivoting of the tool away from the clamping arm causes the locking mechanism to automatically engage to prevent the second clip member from moving away from the clamping arm. | 12-03-2009 |

The insulator has stop portions for limiting such rotation about the longitudinal axis of the bearing portion of the clip to a desired extent. The clip contact surface of the insulator is convex, in a vertical plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bearing portion of the clip, such that, when the insulator is attached to a clip having a flat rail bearing surface, a contact region between the flat rail bearing surface of the clip and the clip contact surface of the insulator is linear. The insulator is rockable about the linear contact region within the extent defined by the stop portions such that, when the rail contact surface of the insulator contacts the surface of a rail foot, the angle of the rail contact surface can conform to the angle of the rail foot surface. A rail fastening clip, suitable for use with the insulator and of the kind driven onto a rail in a direction which is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the rail, has a bearing portion having a flat rail bearing surface, wherein a detent, extending laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bearing portion, is formed in the flat rail bearing surface, at a location spaced from a free end of the bearing portion of the clip, for engaging a corresponding abutment surface of the insulator to be retained on the rail bearing portion of the clip. | 07-19-2012 |
