ABSTRACT:
An improved rail lock for the meat transportation industry has a pair of legs which extend below the rail. The inner surface of one of the legs is substantially flush against a side of the rail. A first clamping means is carried by the other leg and bears against the other side of the rail, thereby exerting a force tending to spread the legs apart. A second clamping means is carried by the one leg, just below the rail, and exerts a counterforce tending to bring the legs together. As a result, the rail lock is rigidly retained on the rail and will not vibrate loose during transportation, thereby solving a vexatious problem in the meat industry.
