Abstract
A rigid track consisting of concrete, in particular pre-cast components, comprising a slab with traversing fixing elements, or a plurality of fixing elements arranged thereon, of rails for track-borne vehicles. The inventive rigid track is characterized by a pre-cast concrete component constituting a protuberance that is positioned on the slab, parallel to at least one rail and located on at least one side of the rail. The protuberance acts as a guard and a guide for the vehicle during derailment.
Claims23
A rigid track bed for a track guided vehicle, the rigid track comprising:
- at least one precast concrete slab;
- rails disposed on said precast concrete slab, said rails configured to accommodate the track guided vehicle;
- at least one rail fastening disposed on said precast concrete slab, said fastening securing said rails to said precast concrete slab;
- a curb operably carried on said precast concrete slab and aligned parallel to at least one side of at least one of said rails, said curb configured to provide protection and guidance to the track guided vehicle upon derailment of the track guided vehicle;
- and
- wherein said curb defines at least one slot extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of said precast concrete slab.
A rigid track bed for a track guided vehicle, the rigid track comprising:
- at least one precast concrete slab;
- rails disposed on said precast concrete slab, said rails configured to accommodate the track guided vehicle;
- at least one rail fastening disposed on said precast concrete slab, said fastening securing said rails to said precast concrete slab;
- a curb operably carried on said precast concrete slab and aligned parallel to at least one side of at least one of said rails, said curb configured to provide protection and guidance to the track guided vehicle upon derailment of the track guided vehicle;
- and
- wherein said curb includes a structural metal member and defines at least one slot extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of said precast concrete slab and said structural metal member is interrupted at said at least one slot.
A rigid track bed for a track guided vehicle, the rigid track comprising:
- at least one precast concrete slab;
- rails disposed on said precast concrete slab, said rails configured to accommodate the track guided vehicle;
- at least one rail fastening disposed on said precast concrete slab, said fastening securing said rails to said precast concrete slab;
- a curb operably carried on said precast concrete slab and aligned parallel to at least one side of at least one of said rails, said curb configured to provide protection and guidance to the track guided vehicle upon derailment of the track guided vehicle;
- wherein said at least one rail fastening is at least one of a continuous fastening or a multiplicity of fastenings;
- and
- wherein a bottom of said curb extends above said at least one rail fastening proximal to said at least one rail fastening.
