Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schiene, insbesondere Rillenschiene, umfassend ein Oberteil und ein Unterteil, wobei das aus verschleißfestem Material bestehende Oberteil Kopf der Schiene ist und eine Quaderform aufweist und das Unterteil ein Profilelement in Form eines Doppel-T-Profils aufweist, dessen oberer Flansch an einer an Unterseite des Kopfs vorhandenen eine Stufe bildende Aussparung mit vertikal oder im Wesentlichen vertikal verlaufendem Abschnitt anliegt und mit dem Kopf zumindest stoffschlüssig verbunden ist.The invention relates to a rail, in particular grooved rail comprising an upper part and a lower part, wherein the upper part made of wear-resistant material is head of the rail and has a parallelepiped shape and the lower part has a profile element in the form of a double-T-profile, the upper Flange on a present at the bottom of the head forming a step recess with vertically or substantially vertically extending portion and is connected to the head at least cohesively.

Schienen müssen unterschiedlichen Beanspruchungen genügen. Insbesondere im Bereich von Weichen macht sich dabei häufig eine schleifende Bewegung zwischen Rad und Schiene bemerkbar. Dabei unterliegen insbesondere Backenschienen am Anfang der Zungenvorrichtungcn bei Stumpfbefahrung einem hohen Verschleiß. Daher ist eine Vielzahl von Vorschlägen bekannt, um hohe Standzeiten im Bereich der Weichen zu erzielen. So können Backenschienen aus einem Block aus verschleißfestem Stahl durchgehend von Kopf bis Fuß ausgebildet sein ( EP-A-1 524 364 , DE-A-10 2004 048 751 oder DE-U-298 24 701 ).Rails have to meet different demands. In particular in the area of switches, a grinding movement between wheel and rail often becomes noticeable. In particular, cheek splints are subject to high wear at the beginning of the tongue device when stumping. Therefore, a large number of proposals is known to achieve a long service life in the switch points. Thus, cheek rails can be formed from a block of wear-resistant steel throughout from head to toe ( EP-A-1 524 364 . DE-A-10 2004 048 751 or DE-U-298 24 701 ).

Aus der DE-B-10 2004 048 751 ist eine Zungenvorrichtung bekannt, bei der eine Backenschiene aus einem Grundblock aus einem verschleißwiderstandsfähigen schweißbaren Vergütungsstahl hergestellt ist.From the DE-B-10 2004 048 751 For example, a tongue device is known in which a stock rail is made from a base block of a wear resistant weldable tempering steel.

Die DE-T-696 05 022 bezieht sich auf eine Schiene, die aus einem Schienenkopf und einer H-förmigen monolithischen Kastenkonstruktion besteht, in die der Kopf einsetzbar ist.The DE-T-696 05 022 refers to a rail consisting of a rail head and an H-shaped monolithic box construction into which the head can be inserted.

Andere Konstruktionen sehen eine Zweiteilung zwischen einem einen Kopf aufweisenden Oberteil und einer Unterkonstruktion vor, wobei das Oberteil mit einem Zungenbett aus einem Stahl hochfester Güte und das untere Teil aus Baustahl bestehen kann ( DE-C-101 12 979 ).Other constructions envisage a bipartition between a head having a top and a substructure, the top having a tongue bed made of a high strength steel and the bottom being of structural steel ( DE-C-101 12 979 ).

Um im Kreuzungsbereich eines Rillenschienenherzstücks den Verschleiß zu reduzieren, gleichzeitig jedoch mit einfachen Maßnahmen eine Erneuerung zu ermöglichen, sieht die WO-A-2004/081286 einen austauschbaren Einsatz vor, der aus verschleißfestem Material besteht.In order to reduce wear in the intersection of a grooved rail frog, but at the same time to enable a renewal with simple measures, sees the WO-A-2004/081286 a replaceable insert made of wear-resistant material.

Auch sind sogenannte Monoblock-Zungenvorrichtungen bekannt, wobei der Block aus Kostengründen den Mittelteil einer Zungenvorrichtung bildet, der kastenförmig zur Aufnahme der Zungenschiene ausgebildet ist. An dem Block werden Anschlussschienen angeschweißt, so dass sich Unstetigkeiten aufgrund der Schweißstöße ergeben können.Also, so-called monoblock tongue devices are known, wherein the block forms the middle part of a tongue device, which is formed box-shaped for receiving the tongue rail for cost reasons. At the block connecting rails are welded, so that discontinuities may arise due to the welding joints.

Aus der US-A-48 01 083 ist eine mehrteilige Schiene bekannt, die einen Kopf mit unterseitig parallel zueinander verlaufenden Kanälen sowie in diese eingreifende Längsschenkel von L-förmigen Profilelementen umfasst, dessen Querschenkel mit einer Bodenplatte verbunden sind. Die Verbindung der einzelnen Teile erfolgt über Schrauben, um problemlos einen Austausch von Elementen vornehmen zu können.From the US-A-48 01 083 a multi-part rail is known, comprising a head with mutually parallel channels on the underside and in this engaging longitudinal leg of L-shaped profile elements whose transverse legs are connected to a bottom plate. The connection of the individual parts via screws to easily make an exchange of elements can.

Der DE-C-602 182 ist eine Schiene zu entnehmen, die aus einem Kopf aus verschleißfestem Werkstoff sowie einem Fuß aus üblichem Schienenwerkstoff besteht, wobei Kopf und Fuß in oder in der Nähe der neutralen Faser verschweißt sind.Of the DE-C-602 182 shall be taken from a rail consisting of a head of wear-resistant material and a foot of common rail material, with the head and foot welded in or near the neutral fiber.

Aus der CH-A-284 745 ist ein Gleisabschnitt mit einem Herzstückbereich bekannt, der abschnittsweise eine Schiene aufweist, die aus einem quaderförmigen Oberteil und einem mehrteiligen Unterteil besteht, die formschlüssig ineinandergreifen und stoffschlüssig verbunden sind.From the CH-A-284 745 is a track section with a frog area known, the sections has a rail, which consists of a cuboidal upper part and a multi-part lower part, which engage in a form-fitting manner and are materially connected.

Bei einem Herzstück nach der DE-B-12 17 990 wird eine Blockbauweise benutzt, bei der der Block mit den Fahr- und Führungsflächen aus einem verschleißfesten Werkstoff und einem blockabstützenden Unterteil aus geringeren Festigkeitsanforderungen genügendem Material besteht. Unter- und Oberteil sind stumpf verschweißt.At a heart after the DE-B-12 17 990 a block design is used in which the block with the driving and guiding surfaces consists of a wear-resistant material and a block-supporting lower part of lower strength requirements of sufficient material. Lower and upper parts are butt welded.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schiene der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, dass diese kostengünstig herstellbar ist, hinsichtlich der zum Einsatz gelangenden Materialien optimiert ist und gleichzeitig im Vergleich zur Blockkonstruktion ein geringes Gewicht aufweist.The present invention has the object, a rail of the type mentioned in such a way that it is inexpensive to produce, is optimized in terms of the materials used for use and at the same time has a low weight compared to the block construction.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung im Wesentlichen vor, dass das Oberteil und das Unterteil aus verschiedenen Materialien bestehen, dass das Unterteil aus dem Doppel-T-Profil besteht, dass der obere Flansch des Doppel-T-Profils an dem vertikal oder im Wesentlichen vertikal verlaufendem Abschnitt einer einzigen in der Unterseite ausgebildeten Stufe anliegt, und dass über den Abschnitt durch ein die Schiene durchfahrendes Fahrzeug erzeugte Fliehkraft in das Doppel-T-Profil einleitbar ist.To achieve the object, the invention essentially provides that the upper part and the lower part are made of different materials, that the lower part consists of the double-T-profile, that the upper flange of the double-T-profile on the vertical or substantially vertically extending portion of a single formed in the bottom step, and that centrifugal force generated in the double-T-profile can be introduced via the section by a vehicle passing through the rail.

Das Unterteil ist mit dem Oberteil verschweißt oder in anderer geeigneter Weise stoffschlüssig verbunden, wobei insbesondere ergänzend ein Formschluss vorgesehen ist.The lower part is welded to the upper part or connected in a materially cohesive manner in another suitable manner, wherein in particular a positive connection is additionally provided.

Unabhängig hiervon sollte das Profilelement eine Mindestwandstärke von 10 mm, insbesondere im Bereich zwischen 10 mm und 20 mm aufweisen.Regardless of this, the profile element should have a minimum wall thickness of 10 mm, in particular in the range between 10 mm and 20 mm.

Sieht der Stand der Technik zum einen den Einsatz verschleißfester Stähle als Block - durchgehend von Kopf bis Fuß - und zum anderen eine zweigeteilte Ausführung mit vollflächigem Rechteckprofil für den Kopf und eine blockartige Unterkonstruktion vor, wird erfindungsgemäß eine materialsparende Unterkonstruktion vorgeschlagen, die aus einem Profilelement besteht und die Funktionen von Fuß und Steg einer Schiene ausübt. Somit sind erhebliche Materialkosteneinsparungen im Vergleich zu bekannten Konstruktionen gegeben. Ungeachtet dessen besteht der Schienenkopf aus verschleißfestem Werkstoff.The state of the art on the one hand the use of wear-resistant steels as a block - throughout from head to toe - and on the other a two-part design with full rectangular profile for the head and a block-like substructure before, a material-saving substructure is proposed according to the invention, which consists of a profile element and exercises the functions of foot and bridge of a rail. Thus, significant material cost savings compared to known designs are given. Regardless, the rail head is made of a wear-resistant material.

Der Begriff Quaderform schließt ein gewalztes, stranggepresstes oder entsprechend formgebend hergestelltes Oberteil ein, wobei im Falle einer Rillenschiene eine Rille eingearbeitet ist.The term cuboid form includes a rolled, extruded or suitably produced upper part, wherein in the case of a grooved rail, a groove is incorporated.

Die Unterseite des Kopfes sollte parallel zum Bodenabschnitt, also zur Aufstandsfläche verlaufende glatte Ebenen, die über eine Stufe ineinander übergehen, aufweisen, um in zuvor beschriebener Weise das Profilelement stoff- und formschlüssig mit dem Kopfteil verbinden zu können..The underside of the head should parallel to the bottom portion, so the footprint extending smooth planes, which merge into one another via a step, in order to connect in the manner described above, the profile element material and form-fitting with the head part ..

Nach der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Unterteil einseitig formschlüssig mit dem Oberteil verbunden ist. Einseitig formschlüssig bedeutet dabei, dass ein Formschluss in Richtung der Kraft erfolgt, in der diese auf das Oberteil durch ein die Schiene durchfahrendes Fahrzeug eingeleitet wird. So wird z. B. eine Bogenschiene hauptsächlich durch die Fliehkraft des Fahrzeugs in Richtung des Kraftvektors bogenaußen belastet, so dass der Formschluss bogeninnenseitig vorgesehen ist.According to the invention it is provided that the lower part is connected on one side form-fitting manner with the upper part.

Auf die zuvor erläuterten Merkmale und Eigenschaften, die für die Ausführungsbeispiele grundsätzlich gelten, wird nachstehend nicht näher eingegangen. Des Weiteren werden grundsätzlich für gleiche Elemente gleiche Bezugszeichen verwendet.On the features and properties explained above, which apply to the embodiments in principle, will not be discussed in more detail below. Furthermore, the same reference numerals are used in principle for the same elements.

In Fig. 1 ist im Schnitt eine Schiene 1 dargestellt, die sich aus einem Kopf oder Oberteil 112 und einem eine Unterkonstruktion bildenden Unterteil 114 zusammensetzt. Der Kopf 112, der eine Quaderform und entsprechend zuvor erfolgter Erläuterungen in Längsrichtung eine Rille 116 aufweist, besteht aus einem verschleißfesten Stahl, der vorzugsweise eine Grundhärte bis zu 1.400 N/mm2 aufweist. Als weitere charakteristische Größe kann die Bruchdehnung mit mindestens 9 % angegeben werden.In Fig. 1 a rail 1 is shown in section, which is composed of a head or upper part 112 and a lower part 114 forming a substructure. The head 112, which has a cuboid shape and according to previously made explanations in the longitudinal direction of a groove 116, consists of a wear-resistant steel, which preferably has a basic hardness up to 1,400 N / mm 2 . As a further characteristic variable, the elongation at break can be specified as at least 9%.

Das Unterteil 114 bzw. die Unterkonstruktion besteht aus Baustahl oder einem artverwandten Baustoff mit dem Verwendungszweck entsprechenden Eigenschaften und ist mit dem Oberteil 112 verschweißt. Dabei ist nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 zusätzlich ein Formschluss gegeben. Hierzu ist in der Unterseite 152 des Kopfes 112 eine in Längsrichtung verlaufende Nut 118 ausgebildet, in die ein oberer Flansch 120 des Unterteils 114 in Form eines Doppel-T-Profils eingreift. Bei dem Doppel-T-Profil handelt es sich insbesondere um ein gewalztes Profil.The lower part 114 or the substructure consists of structural steel or a related building material with the purpose corresponding properties and is welded to the upper part 112. It is according to the embodiment of the Fig. 1 in addition, a positive connection given. For this purpose, a longitudinally extending groove 118 is formed in the bottom 152 of the head 112, in which engages an upper flange 120 of the lower part 114 in the form of a double-T-profile. The double T-profile is in particular a rolled profile.

Der obere Flansch 120 ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 breitenmäßig kleiner als der untere Flansch 122, der den Fuß der Schiene 110 bildet.The upper flange 120 is in the embodiment of Fig. 1 widthwise smaller than the lower flange 122, which forms the foot of the rail 110.

In punktlinierter Darstellung ist in der Fig. 1 - wie auch bei den Fig. 2 bis 6 - ein übliches Profil einer Rillenschiene eingezeichnet.In punctiform representation is in the Fig. 1 - as with the Fig. 2 to 6 - Placed a common profile of a grooved rail.

Man erkennt, dass der untere Flansch des Doppel-T-Profils, das das Unterteil 114 bildet, im Schnitt eine Rechteckgeometrie aufweist. Ferner ist die Breite geringer als mögliches Profil einer Rillenschiene. Entsprechendes gilt auch für die weiteren Profilelemente, wie diese prinzipiell den Fig. 2 bis 6 zu entnehmen sind.It can be seen that the lower flange of the double T-profile, which forms the lower part 114, has a rectangular geometry in section. Furthermore, the width is less than the possible profile of a grooved rail. The same applies to the other profile elements, as these in principle the Fig. 2 to 6 can be seen.

Stoffschlüssig ist der obere Flansch 120 mit dem Kopf 112 in gewohnter Weise in den äußeren Kontaktbereichen verbunden. Die Schweißnähte sind durch ausgefüllte Dreiecke symbolisiert.Cohesively, the upper flange 120 is connected to the head 112 in the usual manner in the outer contact areas. The welds are symbolized by filled triangles.

Weichen bei der Schiene 1 die Breiten von oberem Flansch 120 und unterem Flansch 122 voneinander ab - der obere Flansch 120 ist schmaler als der untere Flansch 122 -, so sind bei der Schiene 2 gemäß Fig. 2, die die Erfindung representiert, der untere Flansch 122 und der obere Flansch 128 des als Doppel-T-Profil ausgebildeten Unterteils 124 gleich breit. Ferner ist der obere Flansch 126 einseitig formschlüssig in den Kopf 112 eingelassen. Hierzu weist der Kopf 112 an seiner Unterseite 152 eine eine Stufe bildende Aussparung mit vertikal oder im Wesentlichen vertikal verlaufendem Abschnitt 128 auf, an dem im Ausführungsbeispiel der rechte Längsrand des oberen Flansches 126 des Unterteils 124 anliegt. Es ist ein einseitiger Formschluss in Kraftrichtung ausgebildet, also in Richtung eines Vektors einer Kraft, die von einem die Schiene 2 durchfahrenden Fahrzeuges eingeleitet wird.In the rail 1, if the widths of the upper flange 120 and the lower flange 122 are different from each other - the upper flange 120 is narrower than the lower flange 122 - then the rail 2 is as shown in FIG Fig. 2 embodying the invention, the lower flange 122 and the upper flange 128 of the lower part 124 formed as a double T-profile equal width. Furthermore, the upper flange 126 is inserted on one side in a form-fitting manner in the head 112. For this purpose, the head 112 has on its underside 152 a recess forming a step with a vertically or substantially vertically extending section 128, against which the right longitudinal edge of the upper flange 126 of the lower part 124 rests in the exemplary embodiment. It is designed a one-sided positive connection in the direction of force, ie in the direction of a vector of a force which is initiated by a rail 2 passing vehicle.

So kann die Schiene 2 z. B. als Bogenschiene eingesetzt werden, die hauptsächlich durch die Fliehkraft des Fahrzeuges in Richtung des Kraftvektors bogenaußen belastet wird. Somit verläuft der vertikal oder im Wesentlichen vertikal ausgerichtete Abschnitt 128 bogeninnenseitig. Der Abschnitt 128 kann auch als Begrenzung eines Ausschnitts in der Unterseite des Oberteils 112 bezeichnet werden, wobei die Begrenzung, also der Abschnitt parallel oder im Wesentlichen parallel zur Hochachse des Stegs des Unterteils 124 verläuft.So the rail 2 z. B. are used as a bow rail, which is mainly burdened by the centrifugal force of the vehicle in the direction of the force vector outboard. Thus, the vertically or substantially vertically aligned portion 128 extends inside the bend. The section 128 may also be referred to as a delimitation of a cutout in the underside of the upper part 112, wherein the boundary, that is to say the section, runs parallel or substantially parallel to the vertical axis of the web of the lower part 124.

Eine der Fig. 3 zu entnehmende Schiene 3 unterscheidet sich von den Schienen 1 und 2 dahingehend, dass die Unterkonstruktion 130, bei der es sich gleichfalls um ein Doppel-T-Profil, insbesondere gewalztes Doppel-T-Profil handelt, ausschließlich stoffschlüssig mit der Unterseite 152 des Kopfes 112 verbunden wie verschweißt ist.One of the Fig. 3 To be taken rail 3 differs from the rails 1 and 2 to the effect that the substructure 130, which is also a double T-profile, in particular rolled double-T-profile, only cohesively with the bottom 152 of the head 112th connected as welded.

In Fig. 4 ist eine Schiene 4 dargestellt, dessen Oberteil oder Kopf 112 mit dem Steg 134 eines T-Profils 132 stoffschlüssig verbunden ist, dessen Flansch 136 den Fuß der Schiene bildet.In Fig. 4 a rail 4 is shown, the upper part or head 112 is materially connected to the web 134 of a T-profile 132, the flange 136 forms the foot of the rail.

Bei einer Schiene 5 gemäß Fig. 5 ist der Kopf, also das Oberteil 112 mit einem L-Profil 138 verbunden, und zwar über dessen Steg 140. Der Flansch 142 des L-Profils 138 bildet eine Fußhälfte der Schiene 5, die auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite entsprechend der Fig. 10 durch Plattenelemente 156, 158 ergänzt wird.In a rail 5 according to Fig. 5 is the head, so the upper part 112 connected to an L-profile 138, via its web 140. The flange 142 of the L-profile 138 forms a foot half of the rail 5, which on the opposite side corresponding to Fig. 10 is supplemented by plate elements 156, 158.

Eine Unterkonstruktion 144 der Schiene 6 gemäß Fig. 6 besteht aus einem vertikal verlaufendem Flachelement 146, das mit einem einen Fuß bildenden weiteren Flachelement 148 stoffschlüssig verbunden ist. Das vertikal verlaufende Flachelement 146 ist mit dem Kopf 112 verschweißt.A substructure 144 of the rail 6 according to Fig. 6 consists of a vertically extending flat element 146, which is materially connected to a further flat element 148 forming a foot. The vertically extending flat element 146 is welded to the head 112.

Bei den Ausführungsbeispielen der Fig. 4 bis 6 erfolgt ausschließlich eine stoffschlüssige und keine zusätzliche formschlüssige Verbindung. Eine diesbezügliche Konstruktion ist dann geeignet, wenn auf die Schiene geringe seitliche Beanspruchungen einwirken oder anderweitige lastaufnehmende Stützkonstruktionen vorliegen, die sicherstellen, dass auf die Schweißverbindungen (ausgefüllte Dreiecke) nur geringe Belastungen einwirken.In the embodiments of the 4 to 6 Only a cohesive and no additional form-fitting connection takes place. A construction of this kind is suitable if the rail has little lateral load or if other load-bearing support structures are present which ensure that only minimal loads act on the welded connections (filled triangles).

In Fig. 7 ist noch einmal prinzipiell ein Abschnitt eines Profil- oder Flachelementes 150 gezeichnet, das stumpf auf der Unterseite 152 des den Kopf bildenden Oberteils 112 aufstößt und mit der Unterseite 152 verschweißt ist.In Fig. 7 Once again, in principle, a section of a profile or flat element 150 is drawn, which abuts dull on the bottom 152 of the head forming the upper part 112 and welded to the bottom 152.

Die Unterseite des Kopfs spannt eine Ebene oder über eine Stufe versetzt zueinander verlaufende Ebenen auf, die jeweils senkrecht oder im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Hochachse der Schiene verlaufen.The underside of the head spans a plane or steps that are offset relative to one another by a step, each extending perpendicularly or substantially perpendicularly to the vertical axis of the rail.

Die Fig. 8 und 9 verdeutlichen, dass Profile bzw. Flachelemente entsprechend den Fig. 4 bis 6 auch formschlüssig mit dem Oberteil 112 verbunden sein können, wobei die Fig. 8 den seitlichen Formschluss entsprechend der Fig. 2 prinzipiell wiedergibt.The 8 and 9 clarify that profiles or flat elements according to 4 to 6 can also be positively connected to the upper part 112, wherein the Fig. 8 the lateral form-fitting according to the Fig. 2 in principle reproduces.

Demgegenüber greift das freie Ende des Profilelementes 150 gemäß Fig. 9 in eine in der Unterseite 152 des Oberteils 112 vorhandene Nut 154 zur Erzielung des gewünschten Formschlusses ein.In contrast, the free end of the profile element 150 engages according to Fig. 9 in a present in the bottom 152 of the upper part 112 groove 154 to achieve the desired positive connection.

In Fig. 10 ist in perspektivischer Darstellung die Schiene 5 gemäß Fig. 5 dargestellt. Der Flansch 142 bildet dabei erwähntermaßen eine Fußhälfte. Die verbleibende Fußhälfte wird abschnittsweise durch plattenförmige Elemente 156, 158 in den Bereichen realisiert, in denen die Schiene 5 eingespannt wird. Die entsprechenden plattenförmigen Elemente 156, 158 werden fußseitig an den Steg 140 angeschweißt. Durch diese Maßnahmen werden folglich übliche konstruktive Möglichkeiten geschaffen, damit die Schiene 5 in gewohnter Weise fixierbar ist.In Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the rail 5 according to Fig. 5 shown. The flange 142 forms a foot half as mentioned. The remaining half of the foot is realized in sections by plate-shaped elements 156, 158 in the areas in which the rail 5 is clamped. The corresponding plate-shaped elements 156, 158 are welded to the foot 140 on the web. By these measures, therefore, conventional constructive possibilities are created so that the rail 5 can be fixed in the usual way.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Schienen werden insbesondere in Bereichen eines Gleises eingesetzt, in denen ein erhöhter Verschleiß zu erwarten ist. Folglich sind die Schienen insbesondere bestimmt, um in Zungenvorrichtungen eingesetzt zu werden.The rails according to the invention are used in particular in areas of a track, in which an increased wear is to be expected. Consequently, the rails are particularly intended to be used in tongue devices.

Nach den Ausführungsbeispielen der Fig. 13, 17 und 21 ist die Backenschiene nicht auf einer Grundplatte 170 angeordnet, sondern neben dieser, wobei die eine Quaderform aufweisenden Kopfteile 112 mit Unterteilen 114, 138, 132 verbunden sein können, wie diese anhand der Fig. 1, 5 und 4 beschrieben worden sind.According to the embodiments of the FIGS. 13, 17 and 21 the stock rail is not arranged on a base plate 170, but next to this, wherein the cuboidal head parts 112 may be connected to lower parts 114, 138, 132, as these with reference to FIG Fig. 1, 5 and 4 have been described.

Durch Anwendung der Erfindung auf Weichenkomponenten, insbesondere Zungenvorrichtungen ergeben sich bevorzugt für Rillenschienenweichen eine Vielzahl von Kombinationen in Abhängigkeit der geforderten Bauart, wie dies selbsterklärend den Fig. 11 bis 24 zu entnehmen ist.By applying the invention on switch components, in particular tongue devices arise for grooved rail points preferably a variety of combinations depending on the required type, as self-explanatory 11 to 24 can be seen.

Diesen sind Schnitte von Zungenvorrichtungen von Rillenschienenweichen zu entnehmen, wobei jeweils links eine Backenschiene 11, 12 dargestellt ist, die vom Aufbau und der Konstruktion den Schienen der Fig. 1 bis 9 entsprechen. Auch ist aus den Fig. ersichtlich, dass die erfindungsgemäßen Schienen für Weichen bzw. Zungenvorrichtungen für Flachbett (s. z. B. Fig. 11) oder Tiefbett (s. z. B. Fig. 13) einsetzbar sind. Die Backenschiene 11, 12 kann auf einer Grundplatte 170 angeordnet sein oder eine Höhe einer üblichen Schiene aufweisen, wie diese in Zungenvorrichtungen eingesetzt werden.These are sections of tongue devices of grooved rail points to take, each left a stock rail 11, 12 is shown, the structure of the construction and the rails of Fig. 1 to 9 correspond. It can also be seen from the figures that the rails according to the invention for switches or tongue devices for flatbeds (see, for example, FIG. Fig. 11 ) or deep bed (see eg. Fig. 13 ) can be used. The stock rail 11, 12 may be arranged on a base plate 170 or have a height of a conventional rail, as used in tongue devices.

Aus den Schnittdarstellungen ergibt sich des Weiteren, dass zu der jeweiligen Backenschiene 11, 12 eine Zungenschiene 160 auf einem Gleitstuhl 162 verstellbar angeordnet ist, der vorzugsweise stoffschlüssig mit dem Steg der jeweiligen Backenschiene 11, 12 verschweißt ist. Seitlich entlang der Zungenschiene 160 und der zu der Backenschiene abgewandten Seite verläuft in gewohnter Weise eine Beischiene 164.It also follows from the sectional views that for the respective stock rail 11, 12, a tongue rail 160 is displaceably arranged on a sliding chair 162, which is preferably materially welded to the web of the respective stock rail 11, 12. Laterally along the tongue rail 160 and the side facing away from the stock rail runs in the usual way a Beischiene 164th

Der Gleitstuhl 162 begrenzt oberseitig eine Kammer 166, die unterseitig von der Grundplatte 170 und längsseitig zum einen von dem Steg der Backenschiene 11, 12 bzw. einem entlang diesen verlaufenden Flachelement und zum anderen dem Steg der Beischiene 164 umgeben ist. Innerhalb der so gebildeten Kammer 166 kann eine Heizung 168 verlaufen.The slide chair 162 defines on the upper side a chamber 166 which is surrounded on the underside by the base plate 170 and on the longitudinal side by the web of the stock rail 11, 12 or by a flat element running along the latter and by the web of the insert 164.
