Guide Plate for the Attachment of Rails for Rail Vehicles

Abstract

A guide plate for the attachment of rails for rail vehicles includes at least one recess moulded into the guide plate from an underside on which the guide plate stands in an assembly position, a support surface formed on an upper side of the guide plate for a spring element and a contact surface provided on one face of the guide plate which extends in a longitudinal direction of the guide plate. At least one reinforcing rib is provided on the upper side of the guide plate which rises above the support surface and extends crosswise to the contact surface and the recess moulded into the guide plate from the underside reaches into the area of the guide plate in which the reinforcing rib is provided.

1 . A guide plate for the attachment of rails for rail vehicles comprising:
 at least one recess moulded into it from an underside on which the guide plate stands in an assembly position,   a support surface constructed on an upper side of the guide plate for a spring element envisaged for holding down a rail to be attached, and   a contact surface provided on a face of the guide plate which extends in a longitudinal direction of the guide plate and on which contact surface the rail to be attached is, in the assembly position, guided laterally,   wherein on the upper side of the guide plate, at least one reinforcing rib is provided which rises above the support surface and extends crosswise to the contact surface and wherein the recess moulded into the guide plate ( 3 ) from the underside extends into the area of the guide plate in which the reinforcing rib is provided.   
     
     
         2 . The guide plate according to  claim 1 , further comprising an aperture that leads from the upper side of the guide plate to the underside of the guide plate through which a tensioning element envisaged for the tensioning of the spring element can be pushed through, wherein a ‘mouth’ of the aperture assigned to the support surface is, at least in sections, encircled by a collar that rises above the support surface, and wherein the reinforcing rib is connected to the collar. 
     
     
         3 . The guide plate according to  claim 1 , wherein on the support surface shaped elements are provided for the guiding of the spring element. 
     
     
         4 . The guide plate according to  claim 2 , wherein a section of the collar is constructed in such a way as to guide a loop of the spring element that encircles the section in the assembly position. 
     
     
         5 . The guide plate according to  claim 3 , wherein two grooves are moulded into the support surface which extend in the longitudinal direction of the guide plate and in which at least one section of the spring element is supported in the assembly position and wherein the grooves are separated from one another through the reinforcing rib. 
     
     
         6 . The guide plate according to  claim 5 , wherein the grooves slope away, at least in sections, in the direction of their end which is facing away from the reinforcing rib. 
     
     
         7 . The guide plate according to  claim 1 , wherein more than two recesses are moulded into the guide plate from the underside. 
     
     
         8 . The guide plate according to  claim 7  wherein adjacently positioned recesses are limited by crosspieces which are arranged in the manner of a truss. 
     
     
         9 . The guide plate according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide plate has projections sticking out from it to the side whose surfaces assigned to the underside of the guide plate form a continuation of the contact area formed on the underside of the guide plate with which the guide plate stands, in the assembly position, on a particular base. 
     
     
         10 . The guide plate according to  claim 9 , wherein the projections extend along the narrow sides and along a long side of the guide plate which is opposite to the contact surface. 
     
     
         11 . The guide plate according to  claim 9 , wherein the projections have a smaller thickness than the main body of the guide plate. 
     
     
         12 . The guide plate according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide plate is made from a plastic.
