Abstract
A mobile track tamping, leveling and lining machine comprises a machine frame, a vertically adjustable tool carrier guided along the track, track lining and lifting tools mounted on the carrier and engageable with the track rails, and power drives linking the tool carrier to the machine frame. The power drive includes a lining jack linking the tool carrier to the machine frame and extending substantially vertically above the lining tools and the tool carrier, and a force-transmitting lever extends in a vertical plane and is operable to reciprocate transversely to the track. The lever connects the lining jack to the tool carrier.
Claims10
A mobile track correction machine mounted for mobility on the rails of the track and comprising
- (a) a machine frame,
- (b) a vertically adjustable tool carrier guided along the track,
- (c) track lining and lifting tools mounted on the carrier and engageable with the track rails,
- (d) power drive means linking the tool carrier to the machine frame, the power drive means including
- (1) a lining drive linking the tool carrier to the machine frame and extending substantially vertically above the lining tools and the tool carrier, and
- (e) a force-transmitting lever arrangement extending in a vertical plane and operable to reciprocate transversely to the track, the lever arrangement connecting the lining drive to the tool carrier and having a lower portion adjacent the tool carrier extending substantially perpendicularly to the track in a rest position of the lever arrangement, the lever arrangement comprising
- (1) a two-armed lever having a lower lever arm forming the lower portion and
- (2) entrainment elements mounted on the tool carrier and operable in the directions of reciprocation, the lower lever arm being glidingly received by the entrainment elements for connecting the lever to the carrier.
The mobile track correction machine 1, wherein the tool carrier is displaceable relative to the machine frame in the direction of elongation of the machine frame and the entrainment elements have a length substantially corresponding to the length of the displacement path of the tool carrier.
