Patent number: 7874527Abstract: A rail fastening apparatus fastens an inner stock rail in a railway slide chair assembly. The apparatus includes a base plate. The base plate has on one face a rail seat region on which the inner stock rail sits when the slide chair assembly is in use. A resilient rail fastening clip restrains the inner stock rail. A locating means locates the rail fastening clip in a first position. A loading means vertically deflects the clip so as to produce a load in a toe portion of the clip.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2005Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignees: Pandrol Limited, VAE Eisenbahnsysteme GmbH, VAE GmbH, BWG GmbH & Co.
