Rail Clips - Insulating Elastically Yieldable Design, Supports Vertical And Transverse Rail Positioning

These Rail Clips are mainly used for to maintain the rail elastically on its support, in both the vertical and transverse directions. We have provided a fixing and supporting device for a railway rail comprising a support defining table for the rail and a projecting shoulder on each side of said table, a pad interposed between the rail and the support table, an insulating clip having a body cooperative with the shoulder and a nose portion bearing against the flange of the rail, at least one elastically yieldable strip, and fixing means extending through apertures of the body of the clip and the strip, wherein the body of the clip comprises, on the side thereof opposed to the nose portion, a heel portion defining two surfaces which bear respectively against a lower support surface of the support and against the shoulder, the body of the clip defining in its center part an upper surface which is roughly parallel to the strip, the arrangement being such that, beyond a predetermined tightening force, the additional force is transmitted to the support through the body and the heel portion of the clip.
