Abstract:
A device for securing railroad rails on one of a ballast track and a solid track in a highly resilient manner, comprising:a standard concrete sleeper used for said ballast track;two angle guide plates for securing one railroad rail of said rails on said standard concrete sleeper, said plates being arranged on both sides of a rail flange for lateral guidance thereof;one securing screw per angle guide plate, said screw passing through said plate and pressing a tensible clamp against said rail flange and pressing said rail flange and said angle guide plate against said standard concrete sleepers;at least one resilient intermediate plate arranged between said rail flange and said standard concrete sleeper;wherein said angle guide plates have a first and a second surface an at end facing away from said rail, said first surface being inclined at an angle to a perpendicular in a mounted position of said angle guide plates and abutting a correspondingly shaped angled surface of said standard concrete sleeper, and said second surface being essentially vertically aligned and rising over an upper side of said standard concrete sleeper, said first surface having a linear aspect forming an angle with a linear aspect of said second surface;wherein said angle guide plates have receiving spaces which are each open toward said rail flange in the mounted position of said angle guide plates;wherein said at least one resilient intermediate plate has a larger extension in a longitudinal direction of said standard concrete sleeper than said rail flange and protrudes beyond a width of said rail flange on both sides and projects into said receiving spaces of said angle guide plates;wherein a pressure distribution plate is arranged between said rail flange and said standard concrete sleeper, said pressure distribution plate having a larger extension in a longitudinal direction of said standard concrete sleeper than said rail flange and protruding beyond a width of said rail flange on both sides thereof and projecting into said receiving spaces of said angle guide plates; andwherein rotational axes of said securing screws are inclined at an angle to the perpendicular.
