Abstract

L'invention concerne un agencement de rail destiné à une superstructure de voie, telle qu'une voie ferroviaire. Ce système comprend une plaque intermédiaire élastique (3) qui est située entre le patin du rail et un support dur (6) se présentant sous forme de traverse en béton armé et qui est dotée de deux trous traversants destinés aux vis (7) de la fixation de rail. Dans le cadre d'un montage en série, solution préférée, la plaque intermédiaire élastique (3) est associée à une couche intermédiaire élastique (1), de telle façon que la couche intermédiaire supplémentaire placée sur la plaque intermédiaire se situe directement sous le patin du rail. La couche intermédiaire (1) de la plaque intermédiaire (3) est séparée par une plaque de base (2) en métal servant à la fixation du rail. La plaque intermédiaire (3) selon l'invention est constituée d'un produit de vulcanisation fabriqué d'une seule pièce à partir d'un mélange de caoutchouc et présente trois zones structurelles (A, B) en liaison avec un nouveau principe de disposition des proéminences (surfaces actives) et enfoncements (surfaces inactives), les surfaces inactives à l'intérieur de la zone centrale (B) étant plus profondes que celles des deux zones latérales (A). L'invention présente également d'autres particularités conceptuelles de la plaque intermédiaire élastique (3).
