Device for fixing a rail to a railway sleeper

摘要

The invention relates to a device for fixing a rail to a railway sleeper, which device comprises a screw element 1 that can be fixed in the railway sleeper and a curved sprung plate that can be clamped against the rail 3 and the railway sleeper 1 by means of the screw element 3, the first end of which plate 51 is intended to bear against one foot of the rail 3 and the second end 52 of which is intended to bear against the railway sleeper 1. In order to secure the fixing essentially wedge-shaped sections 521 are cut out from the end corners of the second end 52 of the sprung plate 5, which is intended to bear against the railway sleeper 1, the said wedge-shaped parts being bowed so that in conjunction with the fixing they are aligned essentially in the direction of the upper surface of the railway sleeper. <IMAGE>
