SEPARATE INSULATOR PAD BETWEEN A CLIP AND A RAILROAD RAIL

摘要

A SEPARATE INSULATOR PAD BETWEEN A CLIP AND A RAILROAD RAIL A separate insulator pad generally L-shaped in section, has a longer leg which is flat and which is held firmly between the inclined flange of the rail on one side and the inclined surface of the holding clip on the other side. The pad has upstanding shoulders on opposite sides in the direction of rail travel and the clip fits between the shoulders to prevent longitudinal slippage of the pad relative to the clip. The shorter leg of the pad extends snugly between the outer edge of the rail flange and a downwardly extending leg of the clip thus preventing lateral movement of the rail and at the same time, insulating the rail from the fastener structure.
