ABSTRACT:
A conducting rail hanger construction comprising a conducting rail member, an insulating channel-like sheath jacketing the member and having portions extending along opposite sides thereof, and a spring clip also of channel-like configuration. The sheath has oppositely disposed longitudinal groove formations, each of the formations providing a pair of exterior facing shoulders. Leg portions of the clip extend into the groove formations of the sheath and engage the shoulders thereof. In addition, the leg portions have abutments providing sharp, cut edges which can bite into one shoulder of each pair to thereby prevent the sheath from pulling out under the action of an excessive transverse load or force applied to the rail. Broad surfaces on the leg portions limit the penetration of the cut edges into the sheath, thereby preventing distortion and destruction of the latter. Improved reliability and safer operation result, since there is eliminated loosening of the rail from the clip.
