A device for securing a guide rail in position adjacent and parallel to a main rail, said device comprising:
- a guide rail which is free from perforations;
- a mounting part including a mounting plate, said mounting plate having a first side and a second side with at least one perforation formed through said mounting plate, said mounting plate being positioned such that it extends in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of said rails and such that said rails are positioned on said first side of said plate;
- at least one claw for securing said guide rail against said first side of said mounting plate, and wherein said claw extends through said perforation to contact said guide rail on said first side of said mounting plate while a free end of said claw, remains on said second side of said mounting plate;
- a bracing member disposed against said second side of said mounting plate for bracing said claw against said second side of said mounting plate;
- and
- retaining member disposed against said second side of said mounting plate for bracing said claw against said second side of said mounting plate;
- and
- retaining means for contacting said claw at the free end and for cooperating with said bracing means to prevent movement of said claw.
