Connection between rails, long sleepers and cross sleepers of an iron superstructure

for railways.

Patented in the German Empire from i. August 1877. Longest duration: June 29, 1892;

The superstructure of the present system is a long sleeper superstructure. Each strand of the same consists (see sheet I) of a running rail a, and two lower rails b. The lower rails form the long sleeper-like base of the lift, which can be made wearable by underwear. The parts belonging to a rail line are fastened by means of locking pieces c, which go through the middle of the body of the rail line. The connection of the two rails to form one track is achieved by combining two opposing bars, each belonging to a single rail, to form a cross-connecting piece.

The rail α (wrought iron or steel) has a simple mushroom shape with a head and a bridge. The head of the same can already have an inclination of 1:16 on its surface when it is profiled.

The lower rail b (wrought iron or steel) can be shaped as desired, but it still consists of a foot rib 1, a standing rib 3 and a central rib 2. This central rib has rectangular, round or trapezoidal perforations, which are used to accommodate the bars or cross-connecting irons.

The cross-connecting and locking iron (wrought iron or steel) is single E, double E, or T, H, U, L, I, Z-shaped. It has an incision in its upper rib, which extends to the midrib or at all to a certain depth and for inclusion the vertical ribs of the lower rails and the web of the running rail is used. The bottom rails sit with their standing ribs on the sole of this section. The web of the runway has this, insofar as the head is already resting on the raised ribs, is not necessary.

The node connection of the rails, bottom rails and the bolt or crossbar is accomplished as follows when laying the superstructure. The perforated central ribs of the lower rails are brought into a vertical position in such a way that their holes fit on the crossbars. In this position they will inserted horizontally on the crossbars up to the incisions, and then around their longitudinal axis Turned until the upright ribs are in a vertical position in the incisions of the Cross iron come to rest. Finally, the rail with its webs is between the vertical Ribs of the lower rails inserted until her head widened slightly towards the top Support ribs rests.

This node connection also increases the mutual position of the running rails the bottom rails, as well as the position of these to the cross connections completely secured and a rigid and immovable one, which is made possible by the vertical pressure on the rail fastened even more. This tight knot lock can also be achieved by that the components of the rail line are first placed in their normal position, then the cross bar in a lying position through the elongated holes in the bottom rails, such as described earlier, introduces, and finally, by simply listing it, closes it accomplished. In this case, a likewise inserted into the perforations prevents Stop the falling over of the cross bar; which holding piece then in turn through the rail web, which comes to rest in the incisions of its vertical ribs, held in place will.

The track is created, for example, as shown on sheet II. When applying the individual Components of the rail line primarily apply to the following standards come:

1. The joints of the individual rail parts in the strand can and should be placed fully on the joint will. The lugs of the running rails in the two strands can also be moved.

2. The parts of a rail line are in solidarity with so-called locking pieces to bind each other firmly.

3. The two rail lines are to be connected to each other by means of cross connections in such a way that that every lower rail which, for example, has half the length of the running rail can be held by the cross connections.

Claims (1)

4 · So that the running rail does not straighten out of its bearing when it is driven on, or tilts up, so-called locking pins e (see sheet I) are attached both to the ends of the same, as well as between each two locking pieces, which at the same time have to prevent the horizontal displacement of the rails. The novelty of this system is the achievement of a rigid and firm connection on the one hand between the running rail and the lower rails and on the other hand between these and the cross-connecting irons at their points of attachment, using the above explained node connection; thus without the need for screws, wedges or anything else Small material which makes the connections complicated and impractical, especially the Screws and rivets, as experience shows, the dilatations of the individual parts of the track almost completely prevent it when the temperature rises. The node connection described, however, achieves the following in particular: firstly as a result the complete support of the vertical ribs of the lower rails on the central ribs of the cross bars a one-sided yielding of one of the lower rails cannot occur and therefore the Runways, in contrast to the other three-part systems, both in their verticals Direction, as well as in their mutual distance (track width) are completely maintained (see cross profile sheet II). The same can only be found within them through the elongated Perforations for the mandrels given leeway as a result of the temperature change of the length after expanding without causing the deformation of the rods or the track; and secondly, there is a rotation of the running rail through the prying down of its foot rib against the crossing is made impossible, also a widening of the base of the long sleepers, respectively bending of the legs of the lower rails as a result of the reaction of the load cannot take place. Patent claim: The disposition of the superstructure in the track, as well as primarily the Type of connection and shape of the individual parts as described above and in the drawing shown, with all the resulting combinations. For this purpose 2 sheets of drawings.
