Anchorage fixture for fixed rail in railway switch point has two longitudinal arms linked by centre spring

摘要

An assembly anchors a rigid steel railway rail within a switch point assembly. The assembly has a spring clip (11) with two longitudinal straight arms (24, 25) linked by a centre spring (12). The two longitudinal arms (24, 25) terminate in loops (S1, S2) extending via a mid-line (26) towards the centre spring (12). The loops enfold the slide plate outer face to engage in raised detents (14, 15). The loops (S1, S2) exert a torsion force on the longitudinal arms (24, 25).
