Abstract
According to the disclosure, there is provided a rail clamp connector for connecting a rail clamp to a beam. The rail clamp connector may be for connecting a rail clamp to a beam and the rail clamp connector may comprise a first part connectable to the beam. The rail clamp connector may further comprise a second part, pivotally (pivotably) connected to the first part, connectable to the rail clamp. The rail clamp connector may further comprise a vibration damping device to reduce the transmittal of vibration from the second part to the first part.
Claims12
A rail clamp connector, for connecting a rail clamp to a beam, the rail clamp connector comprising:
- a first part connectable to the beam;
- a second part connectable to the rail clamp, the second part being pivotally connected to the first part by virtue of a pivotal connection such that the first and second parts rotate with respect to one another and that the first part is adjustable to compensate for leaning of a rail relative to the beam, the rail clamp being connectable to the rail when in use;
- and
- a vibration damping device at the pivotal connection to reduce the transmittal of vibration from the second part to the first part.
