Abstract: A system and a method for fastening a rail to a substrate, with a guide plate for laterally guiding the rail that has a standing surface associated with the substrate, a support element to support the guide plate in the assembly position, a spring element supported on the guide plate and at least one spring arm for exerting a resilient holding force onto the foot of the rail, and a tensioning means for tensioning the spring element. The fastening can be assembled in that the support element has a support lug supported on the substrate in the assembly position to reach under the standing surface of the guide plate in a way that the guide plate is supported on the substrate via the support lug in the region where the guide plate and support lug overlap.

Abstract: A screw anchor for concrete attachment in a railway sleeper and to a force-fit connection using a rail screw containing a threaded section with external threads disposed on an exterior of the screw anchor and internal threads disposed in the screw anchor; and an upper partial section without external threads which is disposed in a mounted state close to an anchor opening. The screw anchor utilizes material with high elasticity arranged in the upper partial section, wherein this material, when in a mounted state, forms an elevation which extends in an upward direction over an upper side of an end surface of the upper partial section and reduces a free opening section of the inner chamber of the upper partial section.

Abstract: A device for positional securing and guiding of rails for railway tracks for trains, in particular high-speed trains, includes guide plates. In general, rails are laid directly or indirectly by intermediate assembly of intermediate plates to fixed concrete track beds and guide plates, against which the rail base and possibly intermediate plates lie laterally. Guide plates are embedded on or in the concrete track beds, wherein the guide plates are fabricated of high-strength, form-stable material, preferably reinforced plastic, such as for example glass-fiber reinforced plastic, in particular polyamide. The device according to the invention allows to create guide plates which are overall more wear resistant. Wear resistance is achieved in that the guide plate within the surface area, on which the rail base rests, has an insert or areas provided with inserts, the insert being fabricated of slippable, low-abrasion or friction-resistant, low-wear or wear-resistant and flexibly resilient material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an angular guide plate (4) and to a system for fastening rails for rail vehicles, which angular guide plate (4) and system are equipped with a supporting surface (13) via which the angular guide plate (4) is positioned on a solid foundation in its assembly position, in particular in a system in which a spring element (6) for applying the required holding force to the rail (2) is supported on the angular guide plate (4) in the assembly position. The angular guide plate (4) according to the invention allows the abrasive wear of angular guide plate (4) or foundation (3) that occurs in the prior art to be minimised. This is achieved in that the supporting surface (13) is overlaid at least in certain sections with a resilient layer (5).

Abstract: Anchor for a railway tie embedded in ballast. In order to further simplify the installation of such an anchor, the clamp is constructed in two or more parts. With an anchor construction having a clamp gripping the tie on both sides, the clamp parts are constructed of approximately the same size in order to form clamp halves, the connection is formed as a pivot arrangement and in the region of the connection position a tightening means is provided for producing a tightening force clamping the clamp halves on the tie.

Abstract: The invention describes a clamp for rails that is produced from resilient steel bar with multiple bends. The first section (11) of the rail clamp (9, 10) is essentially horizontally arranged, while the last section (14) rests on the rail flange (5). The second section (12) curves upwards in the vertical plane that passes through the first section (11). The remaining sections of the clamp lie all on the side of the first section that faces the rail. The fastening arrangement comprises an anchoring part (20) where the supporting surface (23) for a supporting section of the clamp (9, 10) is located essentially vertically above the locating hole (24) of the clamp (9, 10). That produces a relatively short clamp requiring a minimum of material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rail securing arrangement, which has the following features. It comprises metal plates, each of which lies with its flat lower surface on the sleeper, and on whose upper surface two ribs are formed which extend in the longitudinal direction of the rail, and between which the foot of the sleeper lies on a bearing surface. On both sides of the rail in the region of the respective ribs, each plate has moreover at least one through-hole, with which a respective through-hole in the sleeper is aligned. Corresponding screws are each introduced with their lower ends into the respective through-holes of the plate and engage with a hook-like bend beneath the lower surface of the plate. Each screw is provided at its upper end with a thread onto which a respective nut is screwed. Furthermore, the securing arrangement comprises plate-like securing elements which are each bent to form a double-armed angle member.
