Abstract
An arrangement of two rail segments, consisting of at least one mounting element disposed at each rail segment, and of at least one connector in contact with the mounting elements, by means of which the rail segments can be connected to each other at the end faces thereof, wherein each mounting element is attached to the corresponding rail segment by means of a welding seam. At least one end of the welding seam ends in a region on the rail segment outside of the mounting element.
Claims10
An arrangement of two rail segments comprising a plurality of holding elements disposed on each rail segment and at least one connecting element in contact with one of the holding elements of each rail segment, by which connecting element the rail segments can be connected to each other at end faces of the two rail segments, wherein each rail segment includes a pair of opposing outer sides, and wherein each outer side includes a side surface that extends between a pair of longitudinal grooves, wherein at least one holding element is disposed within each longitudinal groove and wherein each holding element is attached to the respective rail segment via a weld seam with the weld seam having an end that extends away from the holding element so that the end of the weld seam ends in a region of the side surface outside the holding element on the rail segment, wherein each weld seam includes a longitudinal portion extending at the respective longitudinal groove and wherein the end of the weld seam extends from the longitudinal portion and is linear and deviates at an angle from the longitudinal portion of the weld seam, and wherein each side surface of each rail segment includes a flat profile, and wherein the ends of the weld seams extend out of the longitudinal grooves as far as the flat profile on each rail segment.
