SAFETY STRUCTURE FOR A RAILWAY LINE

摘要

Safety structure for protecting a construction including a rail extending along the construction, includes a fencing supported on supports resting on the track bed. These supports are connected to a rail. The connection is effected by a magnetic force. At their free ends, the supports are provided with permanent magnets having a shape such that they can be brought into engagement with a surface part of the rail. Due to the significant length of the supports, it is possible to apply a great torque to the magnets when the other end is engaged, that is to say that end which is turned away from the permanent magnets, as a result of which the magnet slides away along the web and can be detached therefrom. The magnet may include a number of magnets stacked on top of one another. The magnet may be slightly displaceable with respect to the support.
