RAILROAD SPIKE REMOVER

摘要

A portable railroad spike remover (100) comprises a main housing (110), a drive shaft (120) connected to the main housing (110) and a mounting flange, and a claw assembly extractor (140) that is shaped to engage and secure a railroad spike (10) previously installed into a rail tie. The claw assembly extractor (140) may include a pair of jaw members that are pivotally connected to each other by a pivoting pin and a rotating pin. Each jaw member may include a lower end configured to contact and secure a railroad spike (10) and a pair of upper members interlocked with each other and pivotally connected to a clevis fastener with the rotating pin. When the drive shaft (120) is rotated, the claw assembly extractor and the mounting flange may move inside the main housing (110) in a vertical direction to extract the railroad spike (10) from the rail tie.
