It is elastically supported at a point (24) clear of the spindle, and has a protrusion (26) by which it engages in recesses (30,32) in different positions in the fixed rail (10). The recesses can be below the foot of the latter, and formed in a plate (28) below it. The recesses can be spaced apart for a distance equal to that between the two tongue positions.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Lagefixierung eines zu einem ersten Schienenabschnitt verstellbaren zweiten Schienenabschnitts, insbesondere einer zu einer Backenschiene verstellbaren Weichenzunge, mit von dem verstellbaren Schienenabschnitt ausgehenden und mittelbar oder unmittelbar mit dem anderen Schienenabschnitt wechselwirkenden Element.The invention relates to a device for fixing the position of a second rail section adjustable to a first rail section, in particular a switch tongue adjustable to a stock rail, with an element that starts from the adjustable rail section and interacts directly or indirectly with the other rail section.

Mit Hilfe sogenannter Weichenklammerverschlüsse besteht die Möglichkeit, eine Weichenzunge in ihrer geschlossenen Stellung an der Backenschiene anliegen zu lassen. Erfolgt jedoch eine regelmäßige Wartung nicht, so ist nicht ausgeschlossen, daß die Zunge zur Backenschiene sperrt, wodurch zumindest der Fahrkomfort eines Fahrzeuges beeinträchtigt wird, das eine entsprechende Weiche durchfährt.With the help of so-called switch clamp locks, it is possible to have a switch tongue in its closed position against the stock rail. However, if regular maintenance is not carried out, it cannot be ruled out that the tongue locks against the stock rail, which at least affects the driving comfort of a vehicle which passes through a corresponding switch.

Unabhängig davon besteht mit den üblichen Klammerverschlüssen nicht die Möglichkeit, die Weichenzunge in ihrer offenen, also aufgeschlagenen Stellung zu fixieren.Regardless of this, the usual clamp closures do not allow the switch tongue to be fixed in its open, i.e. open position.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art so weiterzubilden, daß mit einfachen Maßnahmen sichergestellt ist, daß ein zu einem ortsfesten Schienenabschnitt verstellbarer Schienenabschnitt nicht sperrt, sondern im erforderlichen Umfang anliegt. Außerdem soll die Möglichkeit gegeben sein, den verstellbaren Schienenabschnitt in gewünschten Positionen zu fixieren. Schließlich soll auch dann, wenn zum Beispiel mittels eines Verschlusses der verstellbare Schienenabschnitt nicht im erforderlichen Umfang zum Anliegen an den ortsfesten Schienenabschnitt verstellbar ist, ein automatisches Heranziehen erfolgen.The present invention is based on the problem of developing a device of the type described at the outset in such a way that simple measures ensure that a rail section that is adjustable to a stationary rail section does not lock, but rests to the required extent. In addition, the possibility should be given to fix the adjustable rail section in desired positions. Finally, even if, for example, the adjustable rail section cannot be adjusted to the extent necessary to abut the stationary rail section by means of a closure, an automatic pulling-in should also take place.

Dieses Problem bzw. dessen Teilaspekte wird im wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, daß das Element um eine von dem verstellbaren Schienenabschnitt ausgehende parallel oder in etwa parallel zu einer der Schienenabschnitte verlaufende Achse schwenkbar ist, daß das Element im Abstand zu der Achse gegenüber dem verstellbaren Schienenabschnitt elastisch fixiert ist, und daß das Element mit zumindest einem Vorsprung und/oder einer Aussparung in einen dem ersten Schienenabschnitt zugeordneten angepaßten Abschnitt in vorgegebenen Positionen eingreift.This problem or its partial aspects is essentially solved in that the element is pivotable about an axis extending from the adjustable rail section parallel or approximately parallel to one of the rail sections, that the element is elastically fixed at a distance from the axis relative to the adjustable rail section and that the element engages with at least one projection and / or a recess in a matched section assigned to the first rail section in predetermined positions.

Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, daß der angepaßte Abschnitt des ersten Schienenabschnitts unterhalb dessen Fuß verläuft, wobei der angepaßte Abschnitt ein mit dem Fuß des ersten Schienenabschnitts verbundenes plattenförmiges Element sein kann.In particular, it is provided that the adapted section of the first rail section runs below its foot, wherein the adapted section can be a plate-shaped element connected to the foot of the first rail section.

Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Lagefixierung des verstellbaren Schienenabschnittes in der gewünschten Position dadurch erreicht, daß von dem verstellbaren Schienenabschnitt mittelbar oder unmittelbar ein zumindest einen Vorsprung und/oder eine Aussparung aufweisendes Element ausgeht, das in einen entsprechend angepaßten Abschnitt, also Aussparung oder Vorsprung in vorgegebenen Positionen eingreift, die der verstellbare Schienenabschnitt zu dem stationären Schienenabschnitt einnehmen soll. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, daß dann, wenn der verstellbare Schienenabschnitt an dem stationären anliegen soll, ein Sperren ausgeschlossen ist.According to the invention, the position of the adjustable rail section is fixed in the desired position by directly or indirectly starting from the adjustable rail section with an element having at least one projection and / or recess which engages in a correspondingly adapted section, i.e. recess or projection in predetermined positions who are the adjustable Rail section to occupy the stationary rail section. This ensures that when the adjustable rail section is to bear against the stationary, locking is excluded.

Insbesondere dann, wenn der mittelbar oder unmittelbar von dem verstellbaren Schienenabschnitt ausgehende Vorsprung als Rollenelement ausgebildet ist, ist zusätzlich sichergestellt, daß auch dann, wenn der verstellbare Schienenabschnitt zum Beispiel mittels eines Verschlusses nicht im erforderlichen Umfang an den stationären Schienenabschnitt herangezogen werden kann, aufgrund des Hineinrollens des Rollenelementes in eine entsprechende Aussparung, die dem stationären Schienenabschnitt zugeordnet ist, der verstellbare Schienenabschnitt im erforderlichen Umfang zu stationären Schienenabschnitt herangezogen wird.In particular, if the projection extending indirectly or directly from the adjustable rail section is designed as a roller element, it is additionally ensured that even if the adjustable rail section cannot be used to the required extent on the stationary rail section, for example by means of a closure, due to the Rolling the roller element into a corresponding recess, which is assigned to the stationary rail section, the adjustable rail section is used to the required extent to stationary rail section.

Aber nicht nur ein Sperren wird ausgeschlossen, sondern es wird ferner die Möglichkeit eröffnet, daß der verstellbare Schienenabschnitt in einer gewünschten beabstandeten Position zu dem stationären Schienenabschnitt lagefixierbar ist. Dies wird dadurch ermöglicht, daß von dem stationären Schienenabschnitt mehrere Vorsprünge und/oder Aussparungen ausgehen, die mit zumindest einer entsprechenden Aussparung bzw. einem Vorsprung wechselwirken, der bzw. die mittelbar oder unmittelbar von dem verstellbaren Schienenabschnitt ausgeht.But not only a locking is excluded, but also the possibility is opened that the adjustable rail section can be fixed in a desired spaced position relative to the stationary rail section. This is made possible by the fact that a plurality of projections and / or recesses emanate from the stationary rail section, which interact with at least one corresponding recess or a projection that starts directly or indirectly from the adjustable rail section.

So sieht eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung vor, daß das von dem stationären Schienenabschnitt ausgehende plattenförmige Element zumindest zwei Aufnahmen wie Aussparungen aufweist, deren Abstand zueinander gleich dem Abstand des zweiten Schienenabschnitts zwischen seiner in bezug auf den ersten Schienenabschnitt anliegenden und abliegenden Stellung ist.Thus, a further development of the invention provides that the plate-shaped element extending from the stationary rail section has at least two receptacles such as recesses, the spacing of which from one another is equal to the distance of the second rail section between its position which is in relation to and remote from the first rail section.

Um zum Beispiel auch ein Nachrüsten einer entsprechenden erfindungsgemäßen Lagefixierung im bestehenden Oberbau zu ermöglichen, sieht ein weiterer Vorschlag der Erfindung vor, daß die Achse von einer vom Fuß des ersten Schienenabschnitts ausgehenden Halterung ausgeht, die problemlos nachträglich befestigt werden kann.In order to enable, for example, a retrofitting of a corresponding position fixation according to the invention in the existing superstructure, another proposal is provided by Invention before that the axis starts from a starting from the foot of the first rail section bracket that can be easily retrofitted.

Zum elastischen Fixieren des um die Achse schwenkbaren Elements kann von der Halterung eine Druckfeder ausgehen, die in bezug auf die Achse gegenüberliegend zu dem mittelbar oder unmittelbar mit dem ersten Schienenabschnitt wechselwirkenden Vorsprung bzw. der Aussparung verläuft.For the elastic fixing of the element which can be pivoted about the axis, a pressure spring can extend from the holder which, with respect to the axis, runs opposite the projection or the recess interacting directly or indirectly with the first rail section.

Schließlich sollte der den Vorsprung bzw. die Aussparung aufweisende Abschnitt des Elements in Richtung des dem ersten Schienenabschnitt zugeordneten angepaßten Abschnitts kraftbeaufschlagt wie federvorgespannt sein.Finally, the section of the element having the projection or the recess should be force-loaded in the direction of the adapted section assigned to the first rail section, such as being spring-biased.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich nicht nur aus den Ansprüchen, den diesen zu entnehmenden Merkmalen - für sich und/oder in Kombination -, sondern auch aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines der einzigen Figur zu entnehmenden Ausführungsbeispiels.Further details, advantages and features of the invention result not only from the claims, the features to be extracted from them - individually and / or in combination - but also from the following description of an embodiment which can be found in the single figure.

In der einzigen Figur ist ein Schnitt durch eine Weichenzunge umfassend eine Backenschiene (10) und eine dieser zugeordnete und zu der Backenschiene (10) verstellbare Weichenzunge (12) dargestellt.The single figure shows a section through a switch tongue comprising a stock rail (10) and a switch tongue (12) assigned to it and adjustable to the stock rail (10).

Um eine eindeutige Lagefixierung der Weichenzunge (12) zu der Backenschiene (10) sowohl in deren anliegender bzw. abliegender Stellung zu ermöglichen, sind erfindungsgemäß folgende Maßnahmen vorgesehen.The following measures are provided in accordance with the invention in order to enable the switch tongue (12) to be unambiguously fixed in relation to the stock rail (10) both in its abutting or lying position.

Vom Fuß (14) der Weichenzunge (12) geht eine Halterung (16) aus, die einen sich fußunterseitig sich erstreckenden plattenförmigen Abschnitt (18) umfaßt. Von dessen Unterseite geht ein hebelförmiges Element (20) aus, das um eine Achse (22) drehbar ist, die von der Halterung (16) bzw. dessen plattenförmigen Abschnitt (18) ausgeht und parallel zu einem der Schienenabschnitte (10) bzw. (12) verläuft.A holder (16) extends from the foot (14) of the switch tongue (12) and comprises a plate-shaped section (18) which extends underneath the foot. A lever-shaped element (20) extends from the underside thereof and can be rotated about an axis (22) which starts from the holder (16) or its plate-shaped section (18) and runs parallel to one of the rail sections (10) or (12).

Das hebelförmige Element (20) ist über ein Druckfederelement (24) gegenüber der Halterung (16) derart abgestützt, daß durch das plattenförmige Element (20) eine Kraftbeaufschlagung derart erfolgt, daß ein Bestreben besteht, - im Ausführungsbeispiel - das plattenförmige Element (20) im Uhrzeigersinn zu verschwenken.The lever-shaped element (20) is supported via a compression spring element (24) with respect to the holder (16) in such a way that the plate-shaped element (20) exerts a force such that there is an effort - in the exemplary embodiment - the plate-shaped element (20) to pivot clockwise.

Die Achse (22) selbst verläuft unterhalb des Weichenzungenfußes (14).The axis (22) itself runs below the switch tongue foot (14).

In bezug auf die Achse (22) auf der zu der Druckfeder (24) gegenüberliegenden Seite des hebelförmigen Elementes (22) ist ein elastisch abgestütztes Rollenelement (26) vorgesehen, das vorzugsweise am freien Ende des Hebelelementes (22) drehbar gelagert ist.With respect to the axis (22) on the side of the lever-shaped element (22) opposite the compression spring (24), an elastically supported roller element (26) is provided, which is preferably rotatably mounted on the free end of the lever element (22).

Die Backenschiene (10) weist fußunterseitig ein plattenförmiges Element (28) mit Aussparungen (30), (32) auf, deren Geometrie der des Rollenelementes (26) angepaßt ist. Zwischen den Aussparungen (30) und (32) verläuft ein plateauartiger Abschnitt (34).The stock rail (10) has a plate-shaped element (28) with cutouts (30), (32) on the underside of the foot, the geometry of which is adapted to that of the roller element (26). A plateau-like section (34) runs between the cutouts (30) and (32).

Der Abstand zwischen den Scheitelpunkten (31), (33) der Aussparungen (30) und (32) entspricht dem Abstand der Weichenzunge (12) zwischen seiner anliegenden und abliegenden Stellung. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, daß die Weicheinzunge (12) auch dann zur Backenschiene (10) nicht sperren kann, wenn zum Beispiel eine die Weichenzunge (12) verschiebende Stelleinrichtung nicht im ordnungsgemäßen Umfang arbeiten sollte.The distance between the vertices (31), (33) of the recesses (30) and (32) corresponds to the distance of the switch tongue (12) between its adjacent and remote position. This ensures that the soft tongue (12) cannot lock to the stock rail (10) even if, for example, an adjusting device displacing the switch tongue (12) should not work properly.

Dadurch, daß das Rollenelement (26) aufgrund der auf das hebelförmige Element (20) einwirkenden Druckfeder (24) stets eine Krafteinwirkung in Richtung des plattenförmigen Elementes (28) erfährt, wird die Weichenzunge (12) auch dann in die Aussparung (30) bzw. (32) hineingedrückt, wenn die Weichenzunge nicht im erforderlichen Umfang verstellt sein sollte; denn in dem Moment, wo sich das Rollenelement (26) im Bereich einer Aussparung (30) oder (32) befindet, rollt das Rollenelement (26) entlang der Flanken (36) bzw. (38) der Aussparung (30) bzw. (32), bis das Rollenelement ordnungsgemäß innerhalb der Aussparung (30) bzw. (32) ruht.Characterized in that the roller element (26) always experiences a force in the direction of the plate-shaped element (28) due to the compression spring (24) acting on the lever-shaped element (20), the switch tongue (12) is then also in the recess (30) or (32) pushed in if the switch tongue is not adjusted to the required extent; because the moment the roller element (26) is in the area a recess (30) or (32), the roller element (26) rolls along the flanks (36) or (38) of the recess (30) or (32) until the roller element is properly inside the recess (30) or . (32) rests.

Selbstverständlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, ohne daß die Erfindung verlassen wird, daß von der Backenschiene (10) bzw. dem von dessen Fuß ausgehenden plattenförmigen Element (28) zumindest ein Rollenelement ausgeht, welches mit einer entsprechend angepaßten Aussparung des um die Achse (22) verschwenkbaren Elementes (20) wechselwirkt.Of course, it is also possible, without departing from the invention, that at least one roller element extends from the stock rail (10) or from the plate-shaped element (28) extending from its foot, which roller element is provided with a correspondingly adapted recess of the around the axis (22). pivotable element (20) interacts.

Schließlich kann die erfindungsgemäße Lehre auch dadurch realisiert werden, daß das hebelförmige Element (20) von der Backenschiene (10) und das zugeordnete plattenförmige Element (28) von der Weichenzunge (12) mit den entsprechenden Vorsprüngen bzw. Aussparungen ausgeht.Finally, the teaching according to the invention can also be realized in that the lever-shaped element (20) extends from the stock rail (10) and the associated plate-shaped element (28) from the switch tongue (12) with the corresponding projections or recesses.
