Definitions

• the present invention relates to a press for rails constituting a raceway and guiding a railway vehicle.
• a railway track which constitutes a rolling track and guide rail vehicles, typically comprises two rails arranged and fixed on sleepers and maintained at a constant spacing.
• the railway relies on ballast to support the sleepers, but also to distribute the loads on the ground.
• the repetition of rail vehicles on these tracks requires regular maintenance of the rails.
• Each rail comprises a succession of adjacent rail sections, placed end to end, and set in pairs. They can be for that welded together.
• a leveling (flat) of the rail can then be performed, in the open, using a press, such as the press 1 of the prior art, which can act on the rail 2 at several points, As illustrated in FIG. 1.
• a press 1 can be used to press upwards when the rail 2 is upwardly straightened (i.e., when the rail is deformed downwards) and pressing down when rail 2 is straightened down (that is, when the rail is deformed upwards).
• the press 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises a frame 3 on which are mounted mobile two hooks 4, or C-shaped parts in the illustrated example, and an actuator 5.
• An actuator 5 is a device that transforms the energy supplied to it into a physical phenomenon that provides a job, modifies the behavior or state of a system.
• a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder generates a movement from a mechanical energy transmitted by a gaseous or liquid fluid.
• a hook 4 is an example of a hooking device, in the sense that it comes here under an element, such as a rail 2, for once thus engaged under him, to lock it if one pulls on him transversely (along F) to the direction (E) of engagement of its hook rim.
• the press 1 illustrated in Figure 1 allows a pressing of a rail 2 only downwards, in the state in which it is located.
• the two hooks 4 allow to maintain the position of the rail 2 relative to the press 1. They are arranged in part under the rail 2.

• the two hooks 4 are then, more exactly, placed under the shoe 6 of the rail 2, which shoe 6 serves to stably apply the rail 2 on the sleepers.
• Each rail 2 comprises, in addition to a lower pad 6, flared downwards in section, a thin intermediate core 7 and a top flared mushroom 8 in upward section.
• the railway vehicles roll on the mushrooms 8 of the rails 2.
• Pressing down with a press therefore typically requires that the hooks 4 (or more generally the hooking device) are placed under the shoe 6 of the rail 2. Arrange these elements under a rail 2 in full way can be made difficult by the presence of the ballast for example, but also sleepers 9 and rail fasteners on the sleepers.
• a press 1 only allows one pressing down, and can not be use to correct deformation of a rail 2 downwards (requiring upward pressing). For pressing up, you have to turn the press and change tools.
• the invention aims to provide an alternative press, usable in the track, allowing the pressing of a rail 2 upwards and / or downwards and allowing optimized positioning of the press 1 and pressing points on the rail 2 with respect to the deformation of the rail 2 upwards or downwards.
