Abrégé
In a set of rail points, running rails (2) and wing rails (3) are fastened to a concrete sleeper (5) on which a switching device (11) is arranged for switching a movable switch diamond (4). The concrete sleeper (5) has a cuboid geometry with an upper side (17), chamfered longitudinal edges bounding the upper side and side faces (18) extending from the longitudinal edges. The switching device (11) is fastened on the upper side (17) of the concrete sleeper (5) between a running rail (2) and a wing rail (3), wherein the drive equipment (7) is arranged outside the running rails (2), preferably connected to the concrete sleeper (5). The drive equipment (7) is connected to the switching device (11) by at least one line (12) running along the chamfered longitudinal edges, wherein the switching device (11), the at least one line (12) and, where appropriate, the drive equipment (7) run within the sleeper width.
In a rail switch having a main track and a branch track, wherein each rail of each track is designed as a switch point (3) and can be moved to make contact with the respective outer rail (1), the outer rail (1) has, in the region of the switch point (3), a modified running edge profile, and the running edge (10) of the switch point (3) has a curved progression (6) for which the imaginary extension with the running edge (2) of the outer rail (1) has an overlap or an undercut.
The invention relates to a track section comprising a tie (24) and a frog (10) having a foot section which is supported on at least one element arranged between the foot section and the tie, wherein, with the frog unloaded, the surface of the support and the running surface of the frog are at a distance x. In order to reduce the loads in the transition region between the wing rail (12, 14) and the tip (16) of the frog and thus largely to avoid or to reduce surface damage, it is proposed that the element is an elastic element (30) having a spring characteristic and extends regionally in at least one cutout (28) in the tie and/or in the foot section and has a thickness and elasticity such that, with the frog unloaded, the distance x is unchanged.
A superstructure device (10) for a set of points having a switch support which is composed of a block of high-strength steel and which has stock and short point rails which delimit said switch support and are formed integrally from the block, wherein the block is connected to a lower part composed of a material other than the high-strength steel, such as mild steel, and is in particular connected in a materially joined fashion, wherein the block extends essentially over the entire length of a switch rail device as the superstructure device on both sides beyond the switch support, and the lower part is a means of supporting the block in the form of at least two supports which are spaced apart from one another.
