Abstract
A rail support arrangement (100, 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d, 800, 1000, 1100) to which rails (190) and/or other track elements may be coupled. A plurality of rail supports (130) are embedded in grooves (120,1121A,1121B,1122A,1122B) in a slab (110,1010). Each rail support is configured to receive a rail fastening system (160) and comprises a projection (135) that engages with the rail fastening system in order to secure a rail or other track element to the rail support.
Claims22
A rail support arrangement for supporting one or more rails, the rail support arrangement comprising:
- a slab having two or more primary transverse grooves;
- and
- a plurality of rail supports, each rail support being mounted in a respective primary transverse groove and comprising at least one projection configured to engage with a rail fastening system, received in the respective primary transverse groove, that couples a rail to the rail support so as to restrict or prevent a movement of the rail in a direction (x) perpendicular to the direction (y) of the respective primary transverse groove.
A rail support system comprising:
- a first rail support arrangement;
- a second rail support arrangement;
- and
- a stiffening bar adapted to couple a rail support of the first rail support arrangement to a rail support of the second rail support arrangement,
- wherein each of the first rail support arrangement and the second rail support arrangement comprises:
- a slab having two or more primary transverse grooves;
- and
- a plurality of rail supports, each rail support being mounted in a respective primary transverse groove and comprising at least one projection configured to engage with a rail fastening system, received in the respective primary transverse groove, that couples a rail to the rail support so as to restrict or prevent a movement of the rail in a direction (x) perpendicular to the direction (y) of the respective primary transverse groove.
5 more elements
A rail securing system comprising:
- a rail support arrangement or a rail support system,
- wherein the rail support arrangement comprises:
- a slab having two or more primary transverse grooves;
- and
- a plurality of rail supports, each rail support being mounted in a respective primary transverse groove and comprising at least one projection configured to engage with a rail fastening system, received in the respective primary transverse groove, that couples a rail to the rail support so as to restrict or prevent a movement of the rail in a direction (x) perpendicular to the direction (Y) of the respective primary transverse groove,
- wherein the rail support system comprises:
- the rail support arrangement and a stiffening bar adapted to couple a rail support of the rail support arrangement to a rail support of another rail support arrangement;
- and
- one or more rail fastening systems, each rail fastening system being configured to:
- engage with an upper surface of the rail support of the rail support arrangement or the rail support system, and
- couple a rail to the rail support, so as to restrict or prevent movement of the rail in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the respective primary transverse groove.
8 more elements
A rail system comprising:
- a rail support arrangement or a rail support system,
- wherein the rail support arrangement comprises:
- a slab having two or more primary transverse grooves;
- and
- a plurality of rail supports, each rail support being mounted in a respective primary transverse groove and comprising at least one projection configured to engage with a rail fastening system, received in the respective primary transverse groove, that couples a rail to the rail support so as to restrict or prevent a movement of the rail in a direction (x) perpendicular to the direction (Y) of the respective primary transverse groove,
- wherein the rail support system comprises:
- the rail support arrangement and a stiffening bar adapted to couple a rail support of the rail support arrangement to a rail support of another rail support arrangement;
- one or more rail fastening systems, each rail fastening system being configured to:
- engage with an upper surface of the rail support of the rail support arrangement or the rail support system, and
- couple a rail to the rail support, so as to restrict or prevent movement of the rail in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the respective primary transverse groove;
- and
- one or more rails, each rail being coupled by the one or more rail fastening systems to one or more rail supports.
