Patent ID: 6889616

Claim:
A track support for support of the track of a magnetic levitation railway, comprising a steel support in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, having sides formed of side wall web plates, an upper base formed by a cover plate, which cover plate has a top side and an underside, and a lower base formed of a base plate, the side wall web plates being mounted to the underside of the cover plate and converging at an angle towards and being connected to the base plate, the cover plate projecting laterally over and extending from each side wall to form cantilever arms extending from each side, said cantilever arms each having an upper side and an underside, with a stator support web plate projecting approximately perpendicularly from the underside of each cantilever arm, at approximately the middle thereof and a side guidance rail projecting approximately perpendicularly from the underside of each cantilever arm at the end thereof, a plate being arranged between the end of the stator support web plate and the side wall web plate adjacent to it the stator support web plate and between the end of the stator support web plate and the side guidance rail adjacent to it the stator support web plate, the so arranged plates having an upper side and an underside, a pair of web flanges projecting from the undersides of the so arranged plates beneath each of said cantilevers and being parallel to and equidistant from an imaginary extension of said stator support webs, a stator pack being supported between each of said pair of web flanges.
