Abstract
A rail assembly for rail vehicles having flanged wheels, in particular in the area of track covers and track crossings, as well as a profiled filling element therefor. The rail assembly (1) comprises a support structure (7) for a cover (9) which covers the space (8) directly alongside the rail (2), the cover (9) acting as a guide rail and being easy to remove from the support structure (7). Also disclosed is a profiled filling element (200, 220) particularly suitable for the rail assembly (1).
Claims17
A rail assembly (1) for rail vehicles with flanged wheels (22), comprising:
- a) at least one rail (2) of the Vignol type with a rail head (3), having a running surface (6) for a flanged wheel (22), a rail web (4) and a rail foot (5),
- b) a support structure (7), flanking the rail (2) laterally in the longitudinal direction of the rail, for a cover (9) covering the space (8) directly alongside the rail (2), which cover (9):
- aa) is detachably connected to the support structure (7), such that in the installed state the cover (9) can be reversibly removed from the support structure (7),
- bb) has an essentially horizontal surface, which is essentially flush with the running surface (6) of the rail head (3), and
- cc) has an edge region (11) directed towards the rail (2), which forms a guide rail,
- c) an angled profile (10) which is generally L- or J-shaped in cross-section and is fixedly connected to the cover (9), or formed integrally with the latter, wherein the angled profile (11) has a first leg (19) extending in the direction of the rail foot (5), and a second leg (20) extending in the direction of the rail web (4), wherein the support structure (7), the cover (9) and the angled profile (10) are not attached to the rail (2).
