To achieve low wear and hence a greater shape durability of track parts, it is proposed that the contact surface of a track part have a curvature having a constant difference .DELTA.K in relation to the curvature of the corresponding current contact surface of the wheel supported on it, or that successive contact surfaces of the track part and the wheel have a continually changing curvature difference .DELTA.K with the curvature difference between the contact surfaces of the track part and wheel lessening as the angle of contact tangent increases.

An expansion joint for part of a railway track arranged on a foundation has a stock rail with a stock rail head and a tongue movable with respect to and along said stock rail head, upon which at least one fastening device acys for pressing it on the stock rail. This expansion joint enables the rail foot to be lingitudinally moved with little friction and excludes tipping of the stock rail or tongue. For that purpose, the tongue is not bolted, but pressed only against the stock rail by the fastening device, and the force thus transmitted is decomposed into components that act, on the other hand, in the direction of the foundation and, on the other hand, in the direction of the stock rail head. The force is transmitted by a rolling element extending from a shaft which is anchored to the foundation.
摘要:
A method and device for the elastic bending of a support (16) with at least one bendable end (24), intended in particular for a flexible switch (10). To achieve an elastic line of a finite radius of curvature also at the free end of the support, a bending moment diverging from zero is generated in the elastically bendable end (24) of the support (14) by applying a force coupling to an auxiliary lever (28).
摘要:
A bearing system for a part of a railroad track, such as a rail-fastening or ribbed slab (10), supported by elastic elements on, for example, a railroad sleeper. The elastic elements form a spring system with a kinked characteristic curve such that when the spring system is subjected to force that is smaller than the forces active in the operative range (16) of the spring system, the characteristic curve rises steeply and, in the operative range (16), runs flat.
摘要:
A support system for a rail section which bridges the gap between foundations which are relatively movable auxiliary rails running parallel to the rail across the sleepers which are supported by the foundation, and underpinning supports providing a stiff connection between rail and auxiliary rails. The underpinning supports move in response to relative movement of the foundation so that undesirable rail bending is avoided.
摘要:
Rail construction including laterally adjacent frog sections with guard rails outwardly spaced to each side thereof by interposed liners. The components are interconnected by a transverse tightened bolt with vertical misalignment precluded by either nesting projections on adjacent abutting faces of the components or by a rigid, preformed sleeve press-fit within the bore receiving the bolt, the sleeve extending through the frog sections and at least partially through the liners.
摘要:
A roller assembly for a rail switch tongue used with a stock rail exhibiting reduced friction and resistance to vibration includes roller elements for supporting the switch tongue. Each roller element is supported by elastomer springs, one having a damping and the other having a supporting characteristic. The spring elements are mechanically coupled so that loading of the roller elements by the switch tongue causes a change in the spring length.
摘要:
A rail attachment device which allows for longitudinal displacement of a rail. The rail attachment device includes a first element fixedly supported to a ribbed plate and having a vertical arm extending essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rail. The rail attachment device also includes a second element which is connected to the web of the stock rail. Connecting elements connect the first element to the second element so as to allow for longitudinal shifting of the stock rail and second element with respect to the first element fixed to the ribbed plate. In one embodiment, the second element includes a web-plate fixed to the web of the stock rail by a bolt and a plate-like element connected to the web-plate and having longitudinally extending slots. The connecting elements pass through holes formed in the vertical arm and through the elongated slots. The connecting elements are preferably pretensioned so as to have the plate-like element shift with respect to the vertical arm upon reaching a predetermined longitudinal force. A step arrangement between the plate-like element and vertical arm also prevents vertical shifting between the two.
