Angular Guide Plate and System for Fastening Rails for Vehicles

Abstract

The present invention relates to an angular guide plate ( 4 ) and to a system for fastening rails for rail vehicles, which angular guide plate ( 4 ) and system are equipped with a supporting surface ( 13 ) via which the angular guide plate ( 4 ) is positioned on a solid foundation in its assembly position, in particular in a system in which a spring element ( 6 ) for applying the required holding force to the rail ( 2 ) is supported on the angular guide plate ( 4 ) in the assembly position. The angular guide plate ( 4 ) according to the invention allows the abrasive wear of angular guide plate ( 4 ) or foundation ( 3 ) that occurs in the prior art to be minimised. This is achieved in that the supporting surface ( 13 ) is overlaid at least in certain sections with a resilient layer ( 5 ).

1 . Angular guide plate for fastening rails ( 2 ) for rail vehicles, which angular guide plate is equipped with a supporting surface ( 13 ) via which the angular guide plate ( 4 ) is positioned on a solid foundation in its assembly position, wherein in that the supporting surface ( 13 ) is overlaid at least in certain sections with a resilient layer ( 5 ). 
   
   
       2 . Angular guide plate according to  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the resilient layer ( 5 ) is at most 10% of the average thickness of the angular guide plate ( 4 ) in the region of the supporting surface ( 13 ). 
   
   
       3 . Angular guide plate according to either of the preceding claims, wherein the resilient layer ( 5 ) is substantially completely compressed by the assembly forces acting on the angular guide plate ( 4 ) in its assembly position. 
   
   
       4 . Angular guide plate according to  claim 1 , wherein the resilient layer ( 5 ) covers the supporting surface ( 13 ) all-over. 
   
   
       5 . Angular guide plate according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the resilient layer ( 5 ) is made of a polyurethane, a rubber or other elastomer material. 
   
   
       6 . Angular guide plate according to  claim 1 , wherein the resilient layer ( 5 ) is integrally connected to the supporting surface ( 13 ) of the angular guide plate ( 4 ). 
   
   
       7 . System for fastening a rail ( 2 ) for rail vehicles, comprising an angular guide plate ( 4 ) which can be positioned with a supporting surface ( 13 ) on a foundation, and on which a spring element for applying the required holding force to the rail ( 2 ) is supported in the assembly position, wherein a resilient layer ( 5 ) for insertion between the supporting surface ( 13 ) of the angular guide plate ( 4 ) and the solid foundation. 
   
   
       8 . System according to  claim 7 , wherein the elasticity of the resilient layer ( 5 ) is coordinated in such a way that the resilient layer ( 5 ) is substantially completely compressed when the system ( 1 ) is fully assembled. 
   
   
       9 . System according to either  claim 7 , wherein it comprises a sleeper ( 8 ) which forms the solid foundation for the angular guide plate ( 4 ). 
   
   
       10 . System according to  claim 9 , wherein the sleeper ( 8 ) is made from a concrete material. 
   
   
       11 . Use of an angular guide plate ( 4 ) constructed according to  claim 1 , in a system ( 1 ) constructed according to  claim 7 .
