Abstract:
A rail-tie fastening assembly for connecting a rail having a rail flange to a tie comprising a rail seat assembly and a rail anchor. Th rail seat assembly is connectable to the tie and includes an anchor slot and a seat hook assembly. The seat hook assembly is adapted to extend a distance over an upper surface of the rail flange. The rail anchor includes an anchor hook assembly adapted to extend over on the upper surface of the rail flange in an assembled position of the rail anchor to the rail seat assembly. The rail anchor is insertable through the anchor slot in the rail seat assembly to the assembled position. The seat hook assembly is spaced a distance from the upper surface of the rail in the assembled position of the rail anchor to the rail seat assembly. The anchor hook assembly engages one side of the rail flange and the seat hook assembly engages the opposite side of the rail flange to restrain lateral movement. A base anchor is connected to the rail seat assembly and the base anchor is disposable in a cavity formed in an upper surface of the tie and the base anchor is secured to the tie, thereby securing the rail seat assembly to the tie.

Abstract:
A rail to tie fastening including an elastic clip (12) a clip holder (15) and a locking element (6). The locking element (6) being interposed between the foot of the rail (11) and the clip holder (15) and, between the foot of the rail (11) and the clip (12) and is forced by the clip (12) against the foot (11). The locking element (6) is so shaped that any movement of the locking element (6) parallel to the rail (11), induced by longitudinal movement of the rail (11), results in the locking element (6) wedging between the clip holder (15) and the foot of the rail (11) so increasing lateral pressure on the rail to prevent further longitudinal rail movement.
Abstract:
A rail anchor of the twin-jaw hook type is formed from sheet stock and includes a pair of planar side plates disposed in parallel spaced apart relationship and joined to one another by connecting webs at the end portions thereof.
