    摘要: A machine for track maintenance is manually displaceable on a track. The machine has a work module with a handle, a working tool powered by a drive and a machine frame configured to be guided on a rail of the track. The work module is detachably connected to an energy module and the energy module has an electrical energy store and output contacts. The output contacts are detachably connected to input contacts of the work module. The work module has as the drive an electric motor supplied with electrical energy from the energy store. This solution results in a high degree of overall efficiency because the energy available in the energy store serves for the largest part for covering performance peaks.

    摘要: A tuned mass damper for damping airborne vibrations at one or more rail frequencies from a rail generated by movement of wheels over the rail. The tuned mass damper includes one or more damper elements including a damper element material, and a body element including a body material. The damper elements are at least partially embedded in the body element. The body element has inner and lower exterior surfaces formed to fit within first and second pockets on opposite first and second sides of the rail defined by a web portion and a foot. The damper element material and the body material are selected and formed so that the tuned mass damper vibrates in response to movement of the wheels over the rail at one or more damper frequencies that at least partially interferes with the rail frequencies.

    摘要: A system for a screwless rail fastening includes a spring element and a supporting collar. The spring element has a bearing section, a curved section, a holding-down section, aligned in the opposite direction to the bearing section, a curved section curved in the direction of the bearing section, and a locking section aligned transversally to the bearing section. The supporting collar includes a fastening section for retaining the supporting collar on the foundation, a carrier section supported by the fastening section, a bearing recess formed on the carrier section for mounting of the bearing section, and a locking head supported by the carrier section on which a counter-bearing for the locking section is formed so that the locking section is retained in a position relative to the bearing section of the spring element.

    摘要: A rail-tie connecting clip engagement/disengagement apparatus for slidably attaching opposite bottom portions of a rail to a tie thereunder with clips each having an outer portion having opposite lateral openings; wherein a first rail side of said apparatus, used to engage/disengage one bottom side of the rail to the tie with one clip, comprises: a) a pair of similar opposite lateral arms, each having an inner hooked end portion to engage one of the lateral openings, a central pivot portion, and an outer end portion carrying one of a cam and a cam follower; b) the other of the cam and the cam follower, being an actuating arm, motivated by the outer end portion thereof to cause appropriate engagement/disengagement of the hooked end portions in the opposite lateral openings of the clip; c) bias means to maintain the cam in contact with the cam follower; and, d) lateral arm longitudinal movement means to jointly move the arms to and away from the rail, to thereby push/pull the clip when engaged by the hooked end portion of the arms. After the hooked end portions of the pair of arms jointly engage the U shaped clip, the clip may be alternatively pushed over engaging the bottom portion of the rail, or alternatively pulled therefrom, disengaging the bottom portion of the rail from the tie.
