摘要 |
The invention relates to a welding unit for connecting two rails (7) of a track by means of flash welding, comprising clamping jaws (6) provided with contact surfaces (8) designed to rest against a rail web (10), which welding unit is provided with a current jaw (9) having a contact surface (12) for transmitting current, intended to rest against the rail web (10). The current jaw (9) can be displaced relative to the clamping jaw (6) in a pressing direction so as to rest against the rail (7). In an inoperative position at a distance from the rail web (10), the current jaw (9), due to the pressure of a pressure spring (13), is in an end position that is frontal with regard to the pressing direction (11), in which end position the contact surface (12) of the current jaw (9) projects beyond the contact surface (8) of the clamping jaw (6). |
