Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a power conductor rail structure is provided using a multi-metallic construction. The composite rail of the invention includes an asymmetrical steel portion having a top flange thickness greater than that of the bottom flange in a generally I-shaped configuration with spaced apertures along the length of the web. Aluminum cladding is cast onto both sides of the web with a cold rolled high conductivity layer, such as copper disposed between the aluminum and steel on either side of the web and having holes corresponding in size and shape to the apertures of the web. The aluminum cladding extends through the web apertures producing a multi-metallic sandwich construction. The high conductivity layers provide a mechanical bond between the steel and aluminum and reduces transfer resistance and increasing overall conductivity. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the top flange is formed with openings with the aluminum cladding filling the openings so that the aluminum cladding forms part of the electrical contact surface.

Abstract: The plug-in socket connection which is secured with respect to axial forces is intended for socket pipes (1) produced by centrifugal casting, in the case of which connection the spigot end (3) of one pipe can be pushed, with radial play, into the socket end (2) of the other pipe. Arranged in the latter are a sealing ring (8) and a clamping ring (14) which is designed separately from said sealing ring and comprises a multiplicity of clamping segments (15) arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. Said clamping segmens exhibit a convex outer surface (17), connected to one another in the circumferential direction in each case by a vulcanised-on intermediate layer consisting of rubber or the like, and exhibit in each case a toothing arrnagement (19) on their inner surface (18). Integrally formed on the clamping ring (14) is a retaining part (20), which can be fixed in the region of the socket ends and bears said clamping ring and comprises an approximately conically tapering connecting portion (24) which extends to the clamping ring (14) and which, depending on the outer dimensions of the spigot end (3) to be introduced, can be widened together with the clamping ring (14) and can, in this arrangement, be expanded in the axial direction.
