FASTENING RAILWAY RAILS

摘要

An assembly for fastening a railway rail (3) to a rail foundation (6) Comprises a rail (3), a rail fastening clip (1') suitable for holding down a railway rail (3), and an anchoring device (250) for retaining a railway rail fastening Clip (1'), wherein the clip (1') is formed of a rod of material bent so as to be approximately M-shaped in plan and is provided on at least one leg of the M with first locating means (18), which device (250) is provided with second locating means (253b, 253c) for cooperating with said first locating means (18) so as to locate the said clip (1') at a desired position with respect to the anchoring device (250) when installed therein, wherein at least one abutment surface forms one of said first and second locating means (18/253b, 253c) and at least one cooperating projection forms the other of the first and second locating means (18/253b, 253c), both the abutment surface and one face of the cooperating projection being acutely inclined in one sense to the longitudinal axis of the leg of the M having said first locating means (18) thereon such that the said one face of the said cooperating projection abuts against the said abutment surface so as to locate the clip (1'), but such that driving of the clip (1') in either of two directions parallel to the said axis forces said projection out of contact with said abutment surface.
