       15 . A device according to  claim 10 , further comprising a slip-on cover element ( 16 ) that overlaps the cheeks, and wherein said cover element ( 16 ) comprises openings for the rollers or rolls ( 14 ). 
   
   
       16 . A device according to  claim 9 , wherein the rollers or rolls ( 14 ) are spring-mounted. 
   
   
       17 . A device according to  claim 11 , further comprising a slip-on cover element ( 16 ) that overlaps the open frame or box, and wherein said cover element ( 16 ) comprises openings for the rollers or rolls ( 14 ). 
   
   
       18 . A device according to  claim 10 , wherein the flange ( 9 ) comprises an oblong hole for receiving a locking bolt or a screw ( 10 ). 
   
   
       19 . A device according to  claim 11 , wherein the flange ( 9 ) comprises an oblong hole for receiving a locking bolt or a screw ( 10 ). 
   
   
       20 . A device according to  claim 12 , wherein the flange ( 9 ) comprises an oblong hole for receiving a locking bolt or a screw ( 10 ). 
   
   
       21 . A device according to  claim 12 , further comprising a slip-on cover element ( 16 ) that overlaps the cheeks, and wherein said cover element ( 16 ) comprises openings for the rollers or rolls ( 14 ). 
   
   
       22 . A device according to  claim 10 , wherein the rollers or rolls ( 14 ) are spring-mounted. 
   
   
       23 . A device according to  claim 11 , wherein the rollers or rolls ( 14 ) are spring-mounted. 
   
   
       24 . A device according to  claim 12 , wherein the rollers or rolls ( 14 ) are spring-mounted. 
   
   
       25 . A device according to  claim 13 , wherein the rollers or rolls ( 14 ) are spring-mounted. 
   
   
       26 . A device according to  claim 14 , wherein the rollers or rolls ( 14 ) are spring-mounted. 
   
   
       27 . A device according to  claim 15 , wherein the rollers or rolls ( 14 ) are spring-mounted. 
   
   
       28 . A device for lifting a tongue rail of a switch during switching of the tongue rail, comprising:
 a roller holder for rollers or rolls, said roller holder being arranged laterally outside a slide chair within a surface of a sleeper facing the tongue rail and a stock rail, wherein   the roller holder ( 8 ) is connected with a flange ( 9 ) adapted to be fixed to a rib plate ( 1 );   the flange ( 9 ) carries a stop bar ( 11 );   the stop bar ( 11 ) laterally bears against an edge of the rib plate ( 1 ) in a position connected with the rib plate ( 1 );   the roller holder ( 8 ) comprises two cheeks extending transversely to a longitudinal direction of the stock rail, said cheeks abutting the rib plate ( 1 ) to accommodate axes or shafts ( 19 ) of the rollers or rolls ( 14 ), which are connected with the flange;   the roller holder ( 8 ) is designed as an upwardly open frame or box resting on the rib plate ( 1 );   the cheeks comprise recesses formed on lower edges of said cheeks facing the rib plate ( 1 );   the flange ( 9 ) comprises an oblong hole for receiving a locking bolt or a screw ( 10 );   a length of the oblong hole is shorter than a length of the stop bar ( 11 ), measured in a direction transverse to a longitudinal direction of the stock rail;   a slip-on cover element ( 16 ) overlaps one or more of the cheeks, the open frame, and the box;   said cover element ( 16 ) comprises openings for the rollers or rolls ( 14 ); and   the rollers or rolls ( 14 ) are spring-mounted.
