Abstract: A switch device including a switch rail (12), the switch device having at least one stock rail (14), a junction rail (32) and a switch rail support (16), and the switch rail and the connecting rail being interconnected by a weld joint (34). The switch rail support (16) includes a through-opening (36) or a recess beneath the weld joint, the width of the through-opening or the recess being wider than the width of the switch rail (12). Furthermore, the length of the through-opening or the recess allows the junction rail (32) to connect to switch rails of the same or different lengths.

Abstract: A grooved rail switch device (10) having a switch rail (12), the switch device having a monobloc design and comprising at least one stock rail (14), a junction rail (18) and a switch rail support (23), and the switch rail (12) and the junction rail (18) being mechanically interconnected. The switch rail (12) and the junction rail (18) merge into each other by means of a joint (20) that is S-shaped in the horizontal section.

Abstract: An elongated rail fastener apparatus for use near an obstacle such as a guard rail, or other location where space is restricted. The fastener preferably extends past the obstacle and is provided with a shoulder having at least one elevated notch, positioned to allow installation of the clip with a vertical and lateral movement, and without the application of a large force perpendicular to the rail. A U-shaped embodiment of the fastener is also described.

Abstract: An operating and locking mechanism for turnouts of central rail-guided vehicles, where the mechanism at the entrance of the turnout includes: a guide block fixed to a fixed part comprising having two guide grooves, two shafts fixed to a moving panel, a moving rocking lever which pivots around a shaft attached to the fixed element and centered with respect to the guide block and perpendicular to the main plane thereof, where the rocking lever includes grooves located on the main plane of the rocking lever within which rollers which are at a higher level with respect to the rollers of the shafts can be moved and rolled, and where the mechanism at the exit of the turnout includes: a guide block fixed to the fixed part having two guide grooves, two shafts fixed to the moving panel, a moving rocking lever which pivots around a shaft attached to the fixed element and centered with respect to the guide block and perpendicular to the main plane thereof, where the rocking lever comprises grooves located on the main pl

Abstract: The present invention relates to an operating and locking mechanism for diamond crossings of central rail-guided vehicles, comprising: a sliding plate (2A) fixed to a fixed part (2) of the diamond crossing forming a channel in its central area in the direction of the X axis, a guide block (10) fixed to the sliding plate (2A) comprising four guide grooves (10A, 10B, 10C, 10D) in the form of circular sectors located on the main plane of the guide block (10), the geometric center of which coincides with a theoretical pivoting point (17) of a moving panel (6) of the diamond crossing, where the sliding plate (2A) and the guide block (10) form a rectangular section groove (2F) the axis of which is parallel to the direction of the X axis, four shafts (12A, 12B, 13A, 13B) fixed to the moving panel (6) symmetrically with respect to a guide rail (7) of said moving panel (6) and perpendicular to the main plane of the moving panel (6), comprising respective rollers (12E, 12F, 13E, 13F) that can be moved and rolled res

Abstract: A superstructure device (10) for a set of points having a switch support which is composed of a block of high-strength steel and which has stock and short point rails which delimit said switch support and are formed integrally from the block, wherein the block is connected to a lower part composed of a material other than the high-strength steel, such as mild steel, and is in particular connected in a materially joined fashion, wherein the block extends essentially over the entire length of a switch rail device as the superstructure device on both sides beyond the switch support, and the lower part is a means of supporting the block in the form of at least two supports which are spaced apart from one another.

Abstract: In a double frog for track crossings with two opposing noses that are realized in a common material block and to which a check rail with at least one guide surface for a wheel is assigned, the check rail region featuring the guide surface is separably fastened on a check rail mounting that is realized in one piece with the material block.

Abstract: In a railway switch with a main track and a branch track, in which one rail of each track is each configured as a tongue rail and movable into abutment on the respective stock rail, the stock rail comprises in the region of the abutment on the tongue rail a deviating course of the running edge and the running edge of the tongue rail comprises a curve progression, whose imaginary extension comprises an overcutting or an undercutting with the running edge of the stock rail.
