Abstract: A point rail is shiftable transversely on an upper face of a rail base plate between an engaged position bearing on a longitudinally extending and fixed stock rail and a disengaged position spaced transversely of the stock rail. A roller assembly has a mounting plate securable to the rail base plate, a roller support pivotal about a support axis on the rail base plate, a roller carried on the roller support, and a spring biasing the roller upward with a predetermined spring force into a lift position with the roller projecting upward past the upper face for supporting the point rail on the roller. Thus this assembly supports the point rail and, in the engaged position, presses it against the support cleats and the stock rail and it is an integral part of one of the rail base plates.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for shifting switch rails (6) associated adjustably with stock rails (7) or mobile frog tongues in railroad switches, configured as a latch or vertical clasp closure, comprising locking catches (4) which are activated by means of a cam or slide rod (5a, 5b), and closure pieces (3) and tongue attachments (2), wherein each locking catch (4) is pivotably supported in a tongue attachment (2) and the switch rail (6) is connected detachably to the tongue attachment (2). An improved and simpler adjustment option is to be created for such a device. For this, the cam or slide rod (5a, 5b) is vertically height-adjustable via a multi-edge body (9) mounted detachably in both closure pieces (3).
