BASE PLATE AND RAIL FASTENING POINT

摘要

A base plate that is intended for a rail fastening point and has a lateral support section that delimits a supporting area formed on the top side of the base plate on which a foot of a rail is attachable. A through-hole leading from the top side to the underside of the support section is formed into an edge area of the support section abutting on the lateral contact surface. The through-hole has a basic shape which is polygonal in cross-section. The surface of the edge area meets with the contact surface in an upper marginal edge. The lateral surface of the through-hole that faces the contact surface at least over a partial area of its height changes into an inclined surface, which rises in the direction of the upper marginal edge of the contact surface and ends at the surface of the edge area.
