Definitions
- This invention has, as a subject, a cast iron sleeper with built in anchorages (hooks) for rail track.
- the average life of the wood sleepers ranges from 15 to 20 years.
- Said pre-compressed reinforced concrete sleeper has replaced wood in its function of stress distributor, but it has not obviated the need to separately arrange anchorages, prior to preparation, seasoning, impregnation, and bituminization work on the sleeper; all this is definitely expensive.
- Patents US-A-1626082 and US-A-1671877 are also known to exist. They concern cast iron sleepers which have an anchorage obtained by means of pins, drift bolts or other means. Patent US-A-1626082 in particular deals with a sleeper, where the junction of the rail with the sleeper is obtained by means of drift bolts passing through a bearing block, inserting themselves whithin special cavities provided in the sleeper.
- the major deficiency of this invention is its high constructive complexity: the construction of the sleeper apart from bearing blocks, the drilling of holes in the sleeper itself, the difficulty of insertion and fastening of pins in the pre-arranged holes.
- Patent US-A-1671877 presents a deficiency too: in this case, in fact, there are only some bearing pins which keep each rail in position, preventing sideways movement. This system of steady retention does not seem to be very safe, considering the high speed of modern trains.
- each anchorage 2 includes an inclined support surface for the rail flange limited by two parallel pawls, one of which has been located towards the sleeper centre, and the other towards its outer side.
- the invention in question obtained by casting makes it possible to obtain a rail sleeper 1 with well-defined mechanical characteristics, able optimally to meet the necessary requirements of strength and resistance of the track to the specific pressure stresses, distributing them on a wide surface, and allowing ⁇ by using anchorages 2 obtained by casting (in a single piece, with the rail track casting) ⁇ the track to be locked by the classical dogs and plate system.
- the cast iron rail sleeper 1 in question 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 strength suitable to heavy and very fast traffic; it does not require plate anchorage arrangements, since they already are obtained by casting.
- the anticipated gauge is obtained; as the anchoring (hook), is a cast product, it does not shift (unlike all types used so far: possible shifting of bolts, dowels, etc. due to vibrations and material wear); the gauge is fixed and set; maintenance is practically unnecessary; safety is maximum.
- said sleeper 1 can have any section (if anticipated cast anchorages (hooks) are built in).
- said sleeper 1 can be totally hollow, with different thicknesses, and completely filled up with inert material (for example: sand), in order to dampen vibrations, thus giving 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 solution for the functionality, the optimal shape, and overall weight.
