Definitions
- This invention has, as a subject, a cast iron sleeper with built in anchorages (hooks) for rail track. It is known that - at present - the most used rail sleeper is in wood, of the most different kinds, suitably treated and processed, on which the track linking items are set.
- the average life of the wood sleeper ranges between 15-20 years.
- Said pre-compressed reinforced concrete sleeper has replaced wood in its function of stress distributor, but it has kept the need to separately arrange anchorages, prior to a preparation, seasoning, impregnation, and bituminization work on the sleeper; all this is definitely expensive.
- the subject invention - obtained by casting - allows to obtain a rail sleeper 1 with well-defined mechanical characteristics, able to meet - in a very optimal way - the necessary principles of strenght and resistance of the track to the pressure specific stresses, distributing them on a wide surface, and allowing - by using anchorages 2 obtained by casting (in a single piece, with the rail track 1 casting) - the track locking by the classical dogs and plate system.
- the cast iron rail sleeper 1 of the subject has a practically unlimited life, it does not need to be imported; thanks to its structure and shape, it optimally distributes stresses; it lends the track a strenght suitable to heavy and very fast traffic; it does not require the plates anchorages arrangement, since they already are obtained by casting.
- the liquid cast iron - thanks to analyses suitable to the cast required mechanical characteristics - is poured in the mould, which - once the hardening process is finished - is shaken out and deburred. If necessary, a mechanical process is carried out to give anchorages (hooks) the precise required geometry in the coupling with fastening dogs.
- said sleeper 1 can have any section (if anticipated cast anchorages (hooks) are built in).
- said sleeper 1 can totally be hollow, with different thicknesses, and completely filled up with inert material (for example: sand), in order to dampen vibrations, and so obviously obtaining a lighter cast.
- inert material for example: sand
- Table 1 Figure 1 shows the sleeper 1 front view; Figure 2 shows a sleeper 1 cross section; Figure 3 shows the sleeper 1 upper view. Thickness, shape, length, sections - as shown in the drawing - represent one of the best solutions with respect to the functionality, the optimal shape, and also with respect to the overall weight.

Abstract
Traverse de rail (1) réalisée directement en fonte, avec des ancrages intégrés (crochets) (2) destinés à être utilisés pour le verrouillage sur les rails. Ces ancrages (crochets) (2) coulés, intégrés à la traverse (1), garantissent le blocage sans recourir à des plaques mobiles de fixation, tout en assurant l'écartement prévu déjà au stade de la coulée. Le matériau choisi garantit la résistance et l'absence d'usure à long terme.Rail sleeper (1) made directly of cast iron, with integrated anchors (hooks) (2) intended to be used for locking on the rails. These cast anchors (hooks) (2), integrated into the crossmember (1), guarantee locking without resorting to movable fixing plates, while ensuring the spacing provided already at the casting stage. The material chosen guarantees resistance and the absence of long-term wear.
