<p>1. A rail for monorail suspension tracks with preferably electrically driven running gear (1), comprising rail portions (2, 3; 34; 40) interconnected by connecting elements and each comprising a bottom and a top sectional head (4, 5, 32, 33) having a U-shaped cross-section including a channel (8) opening towards the other sectional head and a web (6) connecting the sectional heads to one another, the web (7) of the top sectional head (4) being constructed as a running surface (16) for running and bearing rollers (17) and flanges (9, 10) on the sectional heads being externally constructed as guide surfaces (18) for guide rollers (19) of the running gear, characterised in that flanges (9, 10) of the sectional heads (4 and/or 5, 32 and/or 33) have grooves (20) extending on the channel side in the longitudinal direction of the rail at least in the end regions of each rail portion (2, 3; 34; 40) and the connecting elements are constructed as sectional fishplates (22, 42) insertable into successive channels (8) of each pair of adjacent rail portions (2, 3; 34, 40), the fishplates having longitudinal ribs (30, 45) engaging in the grooves (20) for aligning the running surfaces (16) of the rail portions (2, 3; 34; 40) and the fishplates also being expandable for aligning the guide surfaces (18) of the rail portions (2, 3; 34; 40).</p> |
