Abstract
Rail expansion device having stock and tongue rails which can be displaced longitudinally with respect to one another and bear against one another transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rails under the application of force, wherein a holder releasably holds the tongue rail at a distance from the region thereof which bears against the stock rail, and wherein the tongue rail in the holder is non-positively and positively connected to a standard rail passing into it or to a section thereof or to a section of the holder having a profile which merges with that of the standard rail.
Claims18
A rail expansion device (10) with stock rail and tongue rail (12, 20, 21, 22), which are longitudinally movable and are in contact under an application of force acting transversely relative to a longitudinal direction of the rail, characterized in that the tongue rail (20, 21, 22), at some distance from the tongue rail section that is in contact with the stock rail (12, 14), is detachably accommodated by a holding device (24), and that the tongue rail in the holding device is connected form-fittingly and force-fittingly to a control rail (16, 18) merging into the holding device, or to a section of the control rail, or to a section of the holding device (24) with a profile that merges into the control rail.
