Rail fastening

A rail fastener comprising:

• a rail support configured to bear a rail;
• means for fastening the rail support to a rail base;
• at least one clip having a first end and a second end, located aside the rail and configured to secure the rail to the rail support;
• at least one under-rail elastic member disposed between the rail and the rail base,
• wherein the rail support is provided in a form of a bracket comprising means for rigid fastening the bracket to the rail base and a lever having a first end and a second end, the lever disposed in perpendicular to the rail longitudinal axis, wherein the first end of the lever is hingedly connected to the bracket and the second end of the lever comprises a platform having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the upper surface is intended for clampingly installing the rail thereon and equipped with limiters of displacement of the installed rail in the direction perpendicular to the track axis,
• wherein the at least one clip is configured so the first end thereof is to be taken under the lower surface of the rail installation platform, and the second end thereof abuts on the upper surface of the rail flange;
• the at least one under-rail elastic member has a predetermined thickness and is disposed between the rail and the rail base aside the lever in the direction of the rail axis and the predetermined thickness is selected so as to form a gap between the rail base and the lower surface of the lever, facing the rail base, in a position when the rail secured to the platform receives a load from wheels of a passing train.
