Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for resilient Supporting movable switch parts of a rail switch, with a spring-mounted sliding part or at least a spring-loaded roller, through which the movable Lever part is lifted off an associated slide chair, wherein the resilient mounting of at least one leg a U-shaped bracket is formed.
  • From US-A 5 501 418 is a resilient rolling device to remove, in which a tongue rail during the changeover process supported by resilient rollers to the displacement force to reduce.
  • the invention now aims to provide a device of the initially mentioned type to create, which compared to be known much easier trained training can, which is much simpler and which the Possibility of a subsequent adjustment after the Fixing at the foot of a rigid soft part offers.
  • the device according to the invention essentially in that the U-shaped bracket on the Sliding part or at least one roller facing away from the free end of a leg with the Rail foot of a immovable turnout or jetty a movable switch part is rigidly connected and that both legs of the U-shaped bracket relative to the rail foot or the web of a movable switch part pivotable are arranged.
  • both legs of the U-shaped Stirrups relative to the rail foot of an immovable Soft part or the bridge of a movable switch part are pivotally mounted, stand both legs of the U-shaped Straps to exercise the necessary spring force Available, so that overall a lighter construction chosen can be the required travel and the required To achieve spring force.
  • the attachment of the U-shaped Stirrups on the free end of the slider facing away from a Schenkels allows a particularly simple fixing under Use of a particularly small number of components and It can be provided here a simple clamp connection.
  • There both free legs opposite the pivot point, at which the U-shaped bracket is fixed rigidly, are pivotable, can with such training in a simple way a subsequent adjustment and in particular a default setting achieved the pivotal position with very simple means become.
  • the inventive design made such that the U-shaped bracket at least one carries the rail foot engaging extension.
  • a rail foot cross-extension allows the entire spring element simply to attach to the foot of a rail, so that one particularly simple determination succeeds.
  • the required Holding force when clamping to a rail foot can in be ensured in a particularly simple manner that the extension encompassing the rail foot is resilient is.
  • the Reinforcement plate follows the contour of the U-bracket and contains For example, a rectangular recess to now a To allow screwing from above. This is the spring stiffness significantly increased in the clamping area of the U-bracket, without having to make dimensional changes on the bracket itself.
  • a free leg of the U-shaped stirrups not only a slider, but also a Role be set.
  • the appropriate adjustability and adaptation to the desired shape of the rail foot or to ensure the tongue rail is beneficial to the Training made such that the slider carrying the free legs of the strap in the longitudinal direction of the leg slotted is formed and that in the slot at least one Support roller slidable in the longitudinal direction of the leg and in its shift position is mounted fixed.
  • the training hiebei so taken that the support roller (s) over in the range of Curvature of the U-shaped bracket, in particular resilient, supported spindle in the longitudinal direction of the leg displaceable is (are), and here again in particular simple way a one-piece design of the material of the U-bracket by simply bending out accordingly punched or cut sections is possible.
  • the training hiebei made so that the the rail foot cross-extension and possibly the Support member for the spindle in one piece from the material of the U-shaped Straps are bent out.
  • a particularly simple design of the sliding bearing for a longitudinal direction of a leg of the U-shaped Bügel's sliding support roll can be realized thereby, that the slidable bearings of the support rollers the edges clasp the slot claw-shaped, and in particular of a bearing at its ends diametrical grooves bearing axis are formed.
  • a compact unit created from a single specially shaped resilient holding element consists, in a particularly simple Way can be attached to the foot of a stock rail and at the same time as a carrier element for sliding elements or Rolling elements is used. Due to the fact that the spring element in the connection to the determination on the stock rail no further support own, get both the lower and the upper Leg of the U-shaped spring element as a spring element for Use, whereby the shaping of the main body allows, without get along separate separate holding elements.
  • Around Back bar can be attached to this component on one side Stops and on the other side springy stirrups in Form of an overarching extension be provided, so that the whole facility without tools right at the foot of a Backing rail can be fixed.
  • Through the clamping device or the spindle for moving support rollers can a Einjustleiter the sliding or rolling elements in horizontal and vertical direction, so that a particular simple and reliable and within wide limits adjustable elastic sliding or rolling bearing for Switch blades is available.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a first embodiment of the device according to the invention with a sliding element
  • Fig. 2 shows a modified embodiment in the Representation of Figure 1, wherein a support roller is provided.
  • 3 is a plan view of the embodiment according to FIG. 2
  • FIG. 4 a modified embodiment with two support rollers
  • Fig. 5 a another modified training with in the horizontal direction adjustable support roller
  • Fig. 6 is a plan view of the Training according to Fig. 5
  • Fig. 7 is a plan view accordingly the representation in Fig. 6 with two interconnected Rolls
  • Fig. 8 shows a modified embodiment, which at the web the movable switch part, namely the switch blade, is fixed and
  • Fig. 9 and 10 modified another Formation of the device according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1, 1 with a stock rail and with 2 on a sliding chair 3 displaceable in the horizontal direction Switch tongue shown.
  • a U-shaped spring element 5 set At the foot 4 of the stock rail is a U-shaped spring element 5 set, the determination by a resilient the rail foot 4 cross Extension 6 and a stop 7 of the U-shaped bracket. 5 he follows.
  • the U-shaped Bracket 5 overcoming the spring force of to postp extending extension 6 on the rail and in the sequence to pivot so far that the stop 7 the rail foot 4 on the side facing away from the extension 6 of the Rail foot engages behind.
  • the determination is thus made by easy sliding and pivoting of the U-shaped bracket 5.
  • the U-shaped bracket 5 now has a lower leg.
  • both these legs as a spring element take effect, as further support in the area of Legs 8 and 9 did not take place.
  • On the upper leg 9 is hiebei a slider 10 set, the spring force so is dimensioned that during the switching operation, the tongue 2 from Slide chair 3 is lifted off.
  • the correct positioning of the Spring clip 5 and in particular the pivotal position of the two Leg 8 and 9 can be adjusted by a tensioning device 11, which at a cranked portion 12 of the U-shaped 5 brackets is supported and one with a bolt 13 co-operating mother.
  • a roller 14 is provided in the illustration of FIG. 2 .
