Description [0001] The invention relates to a traffic area, in particular traffic area of a level railroad crossing, which traffic area is made of subsequently laid, plate-like Eindeckelementen.

In traffic areas of the aforementioned type usually the plate-like Eindeckelemente together form a continuous gradation-free surface. However, this can often not be met if the substructure, which carries the plate-like Eindeckelemente, not able to give the necessary for a continuous gradation-free course of the traffic area stable support the Eindeckelemente. Vehicles that pass through such a traffic surface, exert on the Eindeckelemente loads whose attack site is constantly changing and migrates from element to element, it being to a depression of the currently loaded Eindeckelemente to a greater or lesser extent compared to the unloaded at that time Eindeckelementen can come. This creates temporarily undesirable gradations of the traffic area at the mutually facing edges of adjacent Eindeckelemente. This is especially true if the flashing elements are elastically supported, as e.g. this is the case with flashing elements which are elastically supported on the rails of a railroad track in order to form the traffic area of a railroad level crossing. If such rail level crossings are used obliquely to the direction of the track course of heavy road vehicles, the aforementioned adverse effect can occur to a particular degree. But also in other traffic areas formed with plate-like Eindeckelementen, as e.g. are present in public places on which plate-like Eindeckelemente are laid, it comes under the influence of most asymmetrically acting traffic loads to a more or less pronounced vertical movement adjacent arranged Eindeckelemente relative to each other, whereby the desired gradation free course of the traffic area is disturbed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a traffic area of the kind mentioned, in the disadvantages, as mentioned above, are resolved. The traffic area constructed according to the invention of the initially mentioned type is characterized in that at least one recess serving for receiving an alignment bolt is provided in the flashing elements on at least one adjacent flashing element. These recesses extend parallel to the surface extension of the flashing elements from their edges into the Eindeckelemente gene and recesses, which are provided on mutually facing edges of mutually adjacently arranged Eindeckelementen, aligned with each other and the height of the recesses of the height dimension of the alignment bolt in the sense of a leadership of these alignment bolts in the recesses corresponds to the alignment bolt in each case a recess are adjustably mounted and by means of an externally operable adjusting shaft, which leads to each relevant recess, partly from the respective alignment bolt overlapping recess can be moved out and so the bridge present between adjacent covering elements bridging with a recess for the respective alignment bolt recess recess of a neighboring Eindeckelements come into engagement. Through this training, the above-mentioned objective can be well met. The inventive construction can be counteracted in a structurally simple manner, the emergence of undesirable and disadvantageous gradations and it also facilitates the laying of the Eindeckelemente to achieve a grading gradation of the traffic surface required manipulation and beyond still get the advantage that the connections between the adjacent flashing elements can be provided, can be solved at a later date without further notice, if this should be necessary to carry out conservation work, whereby also single flashing elements can be removed from a larger association without further notice.

The alignment bolts and their mounting in the flashing elements are dimensioned such that they ensure the expected transverse forces, which occur perpendicular to the surface extension of the cover elements and result from asymmetrically acting traffic loads can be recorded and transferred to the respective adjacent Eindeckelement, and counteracted such a kind of tilting movement of the Eindeckelemente.

A preferred embodiment, which is particularly advantageous when heavy loads are to be expected, is characterized in that the recesses are channel-like, wherein the geometric axes of recesses, which provided on mutually facing edges of mutually adjacently arranged Eindeckelementen are aligned with each other, that the alignment bars are sliding bar having a longitudinally extending teeth and further have a cross section which results in a sliding fit of the alignment bolt in the channel-like recesses, and that in each recess of each pair of mutually aligned recesses, in the a trained as a slide bolt alignment bolt is mounted, in the channel-like recess opening a gear is rotatably mounted, which is settable with the teeth of the alignment bolt for the longitudinal displacement into engagement and on an outward f hrenden adjusting sits and is rotatable with the adjusting shaft, wherein the depth of that recess is at least as great as the length of the respective alignment bar. It is also advantageous if it is provided that a safeguard against unintentional rotation of the respective gear is provided. It is also advantageous if a limit stop is provided on each of the slide bolts which delimits the Ausschiebeweg and is preferably formed in the form of a arranged at the inner end of the respective sliding latch plate.

With regard to the formation of the channel-like recesses results in a structurally simple embodiment, which is favorable in many cases, also with regard to the male loads, if it is provided that the channel-like recesses are formed in the form of blind holes. A variant of this, which often offers advantages with regard to the production of the flashing elements, is characterized in that the flashing elements have two mutually parallel edges on which channel-like recesses are provided, the channel-like recesses extending continuously from one of these edges to the other.

Both in terms of manufacturing and especially with regard to the inclusion of the loads which act on the Eindeckelemente from the outside, it is advantageous if it is provided that the channel-like recesses are lined with pipes.

A design which allows easy access to the installation of the Eindeckelemente and in a possible removal of the same from the association actuated components, characterized in that gears are provided, each on a perpendicular to the surface extension of Eindeckelemente in sit this outward leading wave. A variant of this, which is characterized in that gears are provided, each sitting on a plane parallel to the surface extension of Eindeckelemente in this outward-leading wave, it allows in many cases, e.g. in the formation of the traffic area of a railroad level crossing, in which between the two rails of a track a single row of Eindeckelementen is laid to achieve a closed surface at the top of the Eindeckelemente. With regard to the formation of the gears and with regard to the insertion of these gears in the Eindeckelemente for engaging in the toothing of the sliding bolt designed as a dead bolt, it is advantageous if it is provided that the teeth of the gears are formed in the form of a toothing introduced into the outward leading shaft ,

An advantageous in terms of laying the Eindeckelemente to form a traffic surface embodiment of the Eindeckelemente is characterized in that the Eindeckelemente have two mutually parallel edges, wherein at each of these edges two recesses are provided and the distance, the provided at one edge recesses have the same distance from each other, the recesses provided at the other edge from each other, and in each case one provided at an edge of the Austrian Patent Office AT11418U1 2010-10-15

Recess with a recess provided on the other edge is aligned, wherein each one a storage for an alignment bolt forming recess is aligned with a recess into which a projecting recess from a recess extending locking bolt comes into engagement and at each edge both a bearing recess and one for engagement provided recess exists. It can be assembled in this embodiment, all Eindeckelemente without causing a certain shape orientation of Eindeckelemente must be made. A variant of this is characterized in that the Eindeckelemente have two mutually parallel edges, wherein at each of these edges at least one recess is provided, but preferably a plurality, in particular two recesses are provided and, in the presence of a plurality of recesses, the distance that at a Edge provided recesses from each other, the distance is equal to the provided at the other edge recesses from each other, and each one provided at one edge recess is aligned with a recess provided on the other edge, wherein on one edge in each case an alignment bolt overlapping recesses are provided and recesses are provided at the other edge, in which a projecting from a bearing recess alignment bolt comes into engagement.

A further embodiment of a traffic surface designed according to the invention, which is particularly suitable for traffic areas in which is to be expected with lower loads, the alignment bolt having a very simple structure and to form the connection between adjacent flashing elements as well as for releasing such compounds can be actuated easily and quickly, is characterized in that the alignment bars are wing-like pivot bolt, each of which is mounted on a shaft which is mounted in the covering bolt in question Auslegeelement extending perpendicular to the surface extension, mounted and by means of this shaft from the recess of the stored Eindeckelementes are swing out. In this case, it is also advantageous in terms of a simple manipulation of the alignment bolts and in terms of achieving a good stability of the compounds to be formed with these alignment bolts, if it is provided that the recesses are formed schwenkwinkelbegrenzend respect to the pivot bolt.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an inventive designed traffic area 1, which forms the traffic area of a railroad level crossing. It is this traffic area of plate-like Eindeckelementen 3a, 3b formed, which are subsequently laid between the rails 2 of a track and supported on these rails. Preferably, one sees between the edges facing the rails * of Eindeckelemente and rails elastic supplements, which are not shown in the drawing, before. As is indicated schematically in FIG. 1, covering elements 3c subsequently laid on the rails 2 are also provided, which are the same or similar to the mounting elements 3a, 3b.

In the individual cover elements 3a, 3b are provided at the edges 4a, 4b recesses 7a, 7b, which serve to receive Verriegelungsriegeln, which are formed in this embodiment in the form of sliding latches 5. For each individual alignment bolt, a pair of recesses 7a, 7b is provided, which are provided opposite each other on mutually facing edges 4a, 4b adjacently arranged Eindeckelemente, said recesses 7a, 7b parallel to the surface extension of the Eindeckelemente 3a, 3b of the edges 4a, 4b from penetrate into the Eindeckelemente. The recesses 7a, 7b are, corresponding to the formation of the alignment bolt in the form of sliding bars 5, channel-like and align the geometric axes 10a, 10b of recesses 7a, 7b, which on mutually facing edges 4a, 4b of mutually adjacently arranged Eindeckelementen 3a, 3b are provided and face each other, with each other. The sliding bolt 5 have a cross section which results in a sliding fit in the channel-like recesses 7a, 7b. In this case, in particular, the height H of the recesses 7a, 7b corresponds to the height dimension of the locking bolt designed as a sliding bolt 5. The recesses 7a have a depth 14 which is at least as large as the length of the slide bolt 5 designed as a locking bolt and it remains this alignment bolt inserted into the recesses 7a until the installation of Eindeckelemente is performed. Thereafter, the alignment bolts are moved out of the recesses 7a over part of their length, bridging the separation 9 present between adjacent coverslips, each engaging a recess 7b of a neighboring cover element which is aligned with the respective recess 7a. To induce this movement of the sliding latch 5, these sliding latch on a running in its longitudinal direction toothing 11 and gears 12 are provided which can be placed with the toothing 11 for the longitudinal displacement of the sliding bolt designed as a locking bolt into engagement. These gears 12 are arranged to be rotatable in the opening provided for the respective alignment bolt channel-like recess 7a. Each of these gears 12 is seated on an outwardly leading adjusting shaft 8a, which extends in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 perpendicular to the surface extension of the Eindeckelemente. Said longitudinal displacement of the sliding latch 5 is indicated by an arrow 13. A structurally simple and robust embodiment of the gears, which also requires relatively little force for moving the sliding bolt 5, is obtained by forming the teeth of the gears in the form of a toothing incorporated in the adjusting shaft. Preferably, a limit stop 15 is also provided on the sliding bolt 5, which limits the Ausschiebeweg. Such a limit stop can e.g. be realized in the form of a provided at the inner end of the respective sliding latch plate, which applies when reaching the maximum intended Ausschiebelänge the slide bolt to the respective gear 12 and inhibits its further rotational movement. It is also advantageous to provide a safeguard against unintentional rotation of the respective gear. Such a fuse may e.g. in the form of a pin or strap which can be inserted into the toothing executed. At the outer end of the adjusting shaft 8a preferably approach surfaces are provided for turning tools, which are to be set for the rotation of the gears 12 to the adjusting shafts 8a. It may be a simple slot 18 for inserting a screwdriver or even a three-, four- or hexagonal shape at the end of the adjusting shaft 8a, wherein such shapes are executed on the outer surface of the adjusting or in the form of a depression in the same can.

By the engagement of the sliding bolt 5 in the recesses 7a, 7b, which are provided opposite each other and aligned with each other in concave mounting elements, said sliding bar bridging the present between adjacent Eindeckelementen separation, transverse forces caused by uneven loading of the Eindeckelemente and seek to change the altitude of the individual Eindeckelemente taken stabilizing and it is counteracted the unwanted emergence of gradations in the traffic area. Such unbalanced loads of substantial size may e.g. occur at level crossings, which are often passed by very heavy road vehicles occur, especially when the direction of travel F is not perpendicular to the longitudinal direction G of a track but, as indicated in Fig. 1, obliquely thereto.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the channel-like recesses 7a, 7b are designed in the form of blind holes, such type these recesses occupy only a small part of the total cross-section of the Eindeckelemente. Such recesses can be easily molded into the flashing members in the manufacture thereof.

In order to achieve a precisely shaped inner surface of the recesses with relatively little effort in the production of the Eindeckelemente, it is advantageous the channel-like recesses 7a, 7b with tubes 16 line, as shown in Fig. 4 to 7b. With regard to a simplification of the molding of the channel-like recesses in the Eindeckelemente and with regard to achieving a precisely aligned course of such recesses, it is often also favorable if it is provided that the channel-like recesses extend continuously from one edge 4a of a Eindeckelementes to the other edge 4b, such as this is shown in Fig. 5. In such an embodiment, the provision of a lining tube 16 is particularly advantageous, such a tube 16 not only facilitates the molding of the recesses, but also can provide an advantageous contribution to the strength of Eindeckelemente.

In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the engaging in the teeth 11 of a sliding bolt 5 gear 12 sits on a plane parallel to the surface extension of the relevant Eindeckelementes in this outwardly leading shaft 8b, whereby the top of the relevant Eindeckelemente may be formed closed, and a unintentional penetration of foreign material is counteracted along the waves leading outward from the gears.

In the embodiment shown in Figures 6 to 8, the alignment bolt, which are provided to secure a continuous gradation grading of the subsequently laid plate-like Eindeckelementen 3a, 3b traffic area 1, wing-like pivot bolt 6. These pivot bolt 6 are ever a shaft 8a attached, which extends through a recess 7c perpendicular to the surface extension of the respective Eindeckelementes. By rotating the shaft, the pivot bolt 6 with a part of its length from the recess 7 c, in which this pivot bolt is mounted, moved out and inserted into the aligned with the recess 7 c recess 7 d, as indicated by the arrow 17. The height H of the recesses 7c, 7d corresponds to the height dimension of the pivot bolt 6 and it is counteracted such a kind the emergence of a relative vertical displacement between the subsequently laid Eindeckelementen 3a, 3b. The recesses 7c, 7d are formed schwenkwinkelbegrenzend with respect to the pivot bolt 6 by these recesses end surfaces 7c ', 7d', to the 5/11
