Plate Element to Guide a Rail and Method for its Manufacture

Abstract

The invention relates to a plate element ( 1 - 5; 100 ) for fixing a rail (S) in a rail fixing point. The plate element ( 1 - 5; 100 ) can be manufactured according to the invention in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner under optimal usage conditions such that the plate element ( 1 - 5; 100 ) is made up of at least two parts ( 1 a, 2 a, 3 a, 4 a, 5 a; 1 b, 2 b, 3 b, 4 b, 5 b; 101, 102 ) which are manufactured spatially separate from one another and connected to one another rigidly. In order to manufacture a plate element ( 1 - 5 ) according to the invention the parts ( 1 a, 2 a, 3 a, 4 a, 5 a; 1 b, 2 b, 3 b, 4 b, 5 b; 101, 102 ) are first generated in a first step in spatially separate tools and in a second step are then joined to the plate element ( 1 - 5 ).

1 . A plate element to fix a rail in a rail fixing point, comprising the plate element manufactured from at least two parts which are manufactured spatially separate from one another, which parts are rigidly connected to one another. 
     
     
         2 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein the parts are manufactured completely independently from one another. 
     
     
         3 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein the dividing plane which extends between the two parts extends at least in sections parallel and at a distance from a contact face of the plate element, with which the plate element is fixed on subsoil in the usage position. 
     
     
         4 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein the dividing plane extends between the two parts from the upper surface to the lower surface of the plate element. 
     
     
         5 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein a receiving member is formed in one part in which the other part sits. 
     
     
         6 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein in the one part a recess is formed in which the other part fits in an interlocking manner with a protrusion. 
     
     
         7 . A plate element according to  claim 6 , wherein the parts are interlocked with one another such that they are captive. 
     
     
         8 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein the parts are connected to one another in a force-locking manner. 
     
     
         9 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein the parts are connected to one another in a firmly-bonded manner. 
     
     
         10 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein the parts are articulatedly connected to one another by means of a hinge. 
     
     
         11 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein the parts have positioning guides to ensure the exact position of the one part on the other part. 
     
     
         12 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein the parts consist of different materials. 
     
     
         13 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein the parts are connected to one another by means of an additional connection means. 
     
     
         14 . A plate element according to  claim 1 , wherein it is a steering plate for the lateral guiding of the rail to be fixed in the respective rail fixing point. 
     
     
         15 . A method for manufacturing a plate element according to  claim 1 , comprising the steps of:
 producing the parts of the plate element in tools which are spatially separate from one another,   joining the parts to the plate element.
