  • Patent number: 8757510
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rail fastening on a tie having fastening screws and loop-shaped tension clamps in which the track width can be adjusted horizontally in a stepless manner using wedge elements, the rail being arranged on a ribbed plate, the ribs of which run at an angle to the rail and a wedge that can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the rail being arranged between rail foot and the ribs. The wedge is preferably guided on the support. This makes possible effective horizontal lateral displacement of the rail or modification of the track with the use of simple and inexpensive plastic parts.

  • Patent number: 7922102
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rail support point for a rail-guided vehicle for anchoring in a wooden tie, including a plate as a support for the rail, which plate is anchored on both sides of the rail by means of fastening bolts that pass through the plate, the plate having on its bottom side collars that surround the fastening bolts and that engage in correspondingly shaped depressions in the wooden tie, the plate being configured as a ribbed plate having raised ribs that are arranged lateral to the rail foot and that guide the latter and being made of plastic, and the collar being embodied as a slitted ring. Also disclosed is a rail fastening using the rail support.

  • Publication number: 20090218397
    Abstract: The invention concerns a value-bearing document (1) which at one of its surfaces has a security element (2) and a transfer film for the production of the value-bearing document. The security element (2) has a magnetic layer (25) for the storage of machine-readable items of information and a reflection layer (23) which is arranged above the magnetic layer (25) in relation to the surface of the value-bearing document. The reflection layer (23) and the magnetic layer (25) cover each other over at least region-wise and the reflection layer (23) is formed by a reflection layer which is not electrically conductive.

  • Patent number: 6059914
    Abstract: In a process for the production of a stamping foil such as a hot stamping foil having a decorative layer provided on a carrier film only in a region-wise manner, corresponding to a desired patterning of the substrate, negative regions of the decorative layer, which do not remain on the carrier film, are removed from the carrier film of the stamping foil by being pulled off by means of a recipient foil.
