Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A railway track in which the track structure is 238/283, 238/287, 238/307 supported by rigid supporting faces, through elastic layers Int. Cl E0lh 2/00, consisting of an elastomer containing for the greater part fine- E01b 5/00, E01b 9/00 ly dispersed gas cells, each of said elastic layers consisting at Field of Search 238/265, least partly of a moulded setting resin material, said material 287, 283; 238/283, 265, 287,307, 1, 29, 24-27, during setting forming a strong bond with both the track struc- 264 ture and the rigid supporting faces.
  • the invention relates to a railway track in which the track structure is supported by rigid supporting faces, said faces more particularly forming part of a constructive work,
  • each elastic layer consists at least partly of a moulded setting resin material, said material during setting forming a strong bond with both the track structure and the rigid supporting faces. Between the rigid supporting faces, for example forming part of a constructive work, and the track proper, there is no mechanical connection at all.
  • the moulded setting resin in serving both for supporting the track and providing the readjusting forces and for connecting the track to the supporting faces.
  • Said resin can be a synthetic resin and also a resin originating from nature.
  • moulding is meant pouring by its own weight or by means of pressure for example injection moulding.
  • finely dispersed cells finely granulated cork can be used. However, it is also possible to have artificially formed cells for example by means of foaming.
  • said moulded supporting layer is enclosing part of the track structure. Then a still better support inseveral directions is obtained and one is less dependent of the quality of the bond between the supporting layers and the supporting faces.
  • the rigid supporting faces are forming the boundary walls of at least at the upper end open chambers containing the material of the elastic supporting layers, the rails being embedded partly in said material,
  • the part of the track structure which is embedded in the elastic supporting layer is in this embodiment formed by the rails itself.
  • the rigid supporting faces are forming the boundary walls of at least at the upper end open chambers containing the material of the elastic supporting layers and the track structure is consisting of rails connected by mechanical means to separate blocks, each of said blocks being embedded in the elastic supporting material in a chamber.
  • the rails can be connected to the blocks whereas an intermediate layer of elastic material is placed between each block and the rail.
  • This elastic layer can have other properties than the layer in which the blocks are embedded.
  • the specific load of the layers is decreasing in the direction away from the foot of the rail.
  • the invention also relates to a method for arranging a railway track in one or more of the embodiments described above. According to the invention first the rails are adjusted in the right height and in the right distance to each other and then each supporting layer is moulded, the moulded material during setting forming a strong bond with both the track structure and the supporting faces. In applying such a method one is completely free in adjusting the rails whereas upon arranging the supporting layer at the sametime the rails are connected to the supporting faces.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross section of a rail supported by a supporting face through a number of supporting layers
  • FIG. 2 a cross section of a rail in another embodiment of the support
  • FIG. 3 a cross section of a rail in still another embodiment of the support.
  • the foot of a rail 1 is supported by a pressure dividing plate 3 through a layer 2 consisting of an elastomer containing finely dispersed gas cells. These cells can bet obtained as a result of the fact that the elastomer is containing finely granulated cork.
  • a layer 4 also consisting of an elastomer which comprises finely dispersed gas cells.
  • a pressure dividing plate 5 which for example can consist either of an elastomer without gas cells or of a rigid material.
  • three further layers 6, 8 and 10 also consisting of an elastomer containing finely dispersed gas cells.
  • the lowest layer 10 is supported by a rigid supporting face which for example forms part of a portion of a bridge or of a flyover.
  • the layers 4, 6, 8 and 10 successively have a larger area and contain a different percentage cells that is that from the upper layer till the lowest layer the next layer contains a larger percentage cells than the preceeding layer.
  • the pressure dividing layers 3, S, 7 and 9 project in horizontal direction in relation to the respective layers 4, 6, 8 and 10 lying under the respective layers 3, 5, 7 and 9.
  • the several layers are formed by moulding and during the setting of the moulded material a bond is formed between the successive layers.
  • the layer 3 forms a strong bond with the foot of the rail and the layer 10 forms a strong bond with the supporting face 11.
  • FIG. 2 a part of of a constructive work in steel is shown.
  • a girder l2 upright plates 13 and 14 are welded.
  • the plate 13 is braced by a plate 15 and the plate 14'by a plate 16.
  • the rail 17 for the greater part lies inside a chamber I8 defined by the upper surface of the girder l2 and the plates 13 and 14.
  • the chamber 18 is filled with a resin I9'which has been poured into this chamber 18. During the setting of the resin a strong bond with the walls of the chamber 18 and with the rail 17 is formed.
  • the rail 17 is embedded in the material 18 with the portion lying under the head of the rail.
  • the resin 19 contains finely dispersed gas cells. These gas cells can be obtained by foaming the material 19. Another possibility is that prior to the moulding of the material it is mixed with finely granulated cork.
  • a track is supported by a floor 20 of a constructive work in concrete, for example a tunnel.
  • chambers 21 are formed. Inside these chambers 21 are lying blocks 22, which for example can be made of a concrete mixture containing a resin as bounding agent.
  • the blocks 22 are carrying a rail 23 through an elastic plate 24.
  • the rail 23 is attached to each block 22 by means of curved resilient clamps 25 which with its one end are pressing the foot of the rail 23 and with its other end are finding support in a casinglike bearing 26.
  • the bearings 26 are provided with protruding pins 27 which are glued in holes 28 in the block 22.
  • the block 22 is" partly embedded in a moulded setting synthetic resin 29. This layer of resin 29 again contains finely dispersed gas cells.
  • said roadway structure including a pair of open channels disposed in horizontally spaced parallelism and having their medial regions spaced apart substantially in accord with the gauge of the track;
  • each rail structure including a lower supporting structure of a width less than the width of a channel of said roadway structure and an upper rail head portion, each supporting structure having a bottom face, each rail structure having said supporting structure thereof received in a respective channel and laterally positioned therein to dispose said rail head portions in predetermined spaced parallel relation according to the gauge of the track, and each supporting structure having its bottom face spaced from the bottom of its corresponding channel;
  • each rail structure including a concrete member forming said lower supporting structure and a rail secured to the upper face of said concrete member.
  • each rail includes laterally projecting feet at its lower side, and elastic plate means disposed between said lower side of each rail and its concrete member.
  • each rail structure including a lower supporting structure of a width less-than the width of a channel of said roadway structure and an upper rail head portion, each supporting structure having a bottom face, each rail structure having said supporting structure thereof received in a respective channel and laterally positioned therein to dispose said rail head portions in predetermined spaced parallel relation according to the gauge of the track, and each supporting structure having its bottom face spaced from the bottom of its corresponding channel; and body of cured, synthetic resinous material filling each channel at least partially to surround a respective supporting structure and firmly anchor each rail structure to the roadway structure with the head portion thereof in fixed position with respect thereto, said body of cured synthetic resinous material containing finely granulated cork and finely dispersed gas cells.
