Definitions

  • the invention relates to a track switch, in particular to a track switch with a large radius, in which the tongue rails can be adjusted in two end positions by means of an adjusting device, in each of which a tongue tip rests on the associated stock rail.
  • the correct position of the tongue rails in the central area or in the intermediate areas of the turnout cannot be guaranteed due to the length and elasticity of the turnout tongues.
  • There is therefore also the risk that in these areas the clear distance between the remote tongue rail and the stock rail is too small for the free passage of the wheel flanges of the wheels. This results in damage to the wheel flanges, which can still lead to derailment.

  • the aim of the invention is to ensure the correct position of the switch tongues in the intermediate regions of the switch or in the central region of the switch and thus the required minimum distance between the remote switch tongue and the stock rail.
  • the invention consists in essentially that a position securing device for securing the position of the tongue rails is arranged in at least one intermediate region of the length of the tongue rails, in particular in the middle region thereof, which has at least one lever which is articulated on the tongue rails and can be pivoted about a stationary axis of rotation and is loaded by an energy store, which can be actuated by the tongue rails adjustable by the adjusting device and which holds the tongue bars in the position determined by the stop corresponding to the respective position of the tongue tip.
  • the lever is held in the respective position of the position securing device by the energy store, and the fact that the tongue rails are articulated on the lever keeps the tongue rails in their correct position.
  • the correct position is determined by the stop or stops and it is ensured even with great elasticity of the switch tongues that the switch tongues are in the correct position in the intermediate areas and in the middle area, so that the maintenance of the free passage between the remote tongue rail and the associated one Stock rail is guaranteed.
  • the switch can also be changed by a clamp fastener located in the tip area of the tongue rails and the correct position of the tongue rail is now set in one or more intermediate areas, the position securing device being automatically changed by the tongue rails itself, without the need for a separate actuating device.
  • the design is such that the line of action of the force of the energy store, which is formed in particular by a compression spring, lies in the two end positions of the lever on different sides of the pivot axis thereof.
  • the lever is hereby through the tongue rails overcoming the force of the energy accumulator adjusted via a tipping point, whereupon the energy accumulator acts in the other direction and presses the lever into the other end position, in which it again holds the tongue rails in the correct position.

Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Gleisweiche mit grossem Radius, bei welcher die Zungenschienen (3, 4) mittels einer Stellvorrichtung in zwei Endstellungen verstellbar sind, in welchen jeweils eine Zungenspitze an der zugehörigen Backenschiene (1, 2) anliegt. In wenigstens einem Zwischenbereich der Länge der Zungenschienen (3, 4), insbesondere im Mittelbereich derselben, ist eine Lagesicherungsvorrichtung (B) zur Sicherung der Lage der Zungenschienen (3, 4) angeordnet, welche wenigstens einen an den Zungenschienen (3, 4) angelenkten, um eine ortsfeste Drehachse (6, 49) schwenkbaren, durch einen Kraftspeicher (14, 24, 35, 45, 55) belasteten Hebel (7, 8, 47, 48) aufweist, der durch die durch die Stellvorrichtung (B) verstellbaren Zungenschienen (3, 4) betätigbar ist und der die Zungenschienen (3, 4) in der der jeweiligen Stellung der Zungenspitzen entsprechenden, durch Anschlag (16, 17) bestimmten lage hält. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, dass die Zugenschienen (3, 4) in den Zwischenbereichen stets im richtigen vorbestimmten Abstand von den Backenschienen (1, 2) liegen. Diese Lagesicherungsvorrichtung ist unabhängig von der üblichen in Zungenbereich (A) vorgesehenen Verstellvorrichtung für die Zungenspitzen der Zungenschienen (3, 4).The invention relates to a track switch with a large radius, in which the tongue rails (3, 4) can be adjusted into two end positions by means of an adjusting device, in each of which a tongue tip rests on the associated stock rail (1, 2). A position securing device (B) for securing the position of the tongue rails (3, 4) is arranged in at least one intermediate region of the length of the tongue rails (3, 4), in particular in the middle region thereof, said device securing at least one to the tongue rails (3, 4) , has a lever (7, 8, 47, 48) which can be pivoted about a stationary axis of rotation (6, 49) and which is loaded by an energy accumulator (14, 24, 35, 45, 55) and which is adjustable by the tongue rails by means of the adjusting device (B) (3, 4) can be actuated and which holds the tongue rails (3, 4) in the position corresponding to the respective position of the tongue tips and determined by the stop (16, 17). This ensures that the pull rails (3, 4) in the intermediate areas are always at the correct predetermined distance from the stock rails (1, 2). This position securing device is independent of the adjustment device for the tongue tips of the tongue rails (3, 4) provided in the tongue area (A).

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Gleisweiche, insbesondere auf eine Gleisweiche mit großem Radius, bei welcher die Zungenschienen mittels einer Stellvorrichtung in zwei Endstellungen verstellbar sind, in welchen jeweils eine Zungenspitze an der zugehörigen Backenschiene anliegt. Insbesondere bei Gleisweichen mit großem Radius ist infolge der Länge und Elastizität der Weichenzungen die richtige Lage der Zungenschienen im Mittelbereich bzw. in den Zwischenbereichen der Weiche nicht gewährleistet. Es besteht daher auch die Gefahr, daß in diesen Bereichen der lichte Abstand zwischen der abliegenden Zungenschiene und der Backenschiene zu gering für den freien Durchgang der Spurkränze der Räder ist. Dies hat eine Beschädigung der Spurkränze zur Folge, die weiterhin zu Entgleisungen führen kann. Aus der DE-AS 27 28 413 ist eine Weiche bekannt geworden, bei welcher durchlaufende Schienen im Weichenbereich in die Lage des Hauptgeleises oder in die Lage des Nebengeleises gebogen werden. Die Verbiegung der Schienen erfolgt durch zwei Stellwagen, von welchen einer entlang einer zum Hauptgeleise parallelen Bahn und der andere entlang einer zum Nebengeleise parallelen Bahn verfahren wird. Durch diese Stellwagen können auch die gebogenen durchlaufenden Schienen in ihrer entsprechenden Biegelage an jeder Schwelle verklammert werden. Eine solche Anordnung ist aber äußerst aufwendig und ist auch nicht für Gleisweichen verwendbar, bei welchen die Zungenschienen jeweils an die zugehörige Backenschiene angelegt oder von dieser abgehoben wird.The invention relates to a track switch, in particular to a track switch with a large radius, in which the tongue rails can be adjusted in two end positions by means of an adjusting device, in each of which a tongue tip rests on the associated stock rail. In the case of track turnouts with a large radius in particular, the correct position of the tongue rails in the central area or in the intermediate areas of the turnout cannot be guaranteed due to the length and elasticity of the turnout tongues. There is therefore also the risk that in these areas the clear distance between the remote tongue rail and the stock rail is too small for the free passage of the wheel flanges of the wheels. This results in damage to the wheel flanges, which can still lead to derailment. A switch has become known from DE-AS 27 28 413, in which continuous rails in the switch area are bent into the position of the main track or into the position of the secondary track. The rails are bent by two trolleys, one of which is moved along a track parallel to the main track and the other along a track parallel to the secondary track. With these trolleys, the curved, continuous rails can be clamped in their corresponding bending position on each sleeper. However, such an arrangement is extremely complex and is also not usable for track switches in which the tongue rails are respectively applied to or lifted from the associated stock rail.

Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, bei solchen Weichen die richtige Stellung der Weichenzungen in den Zwischenbereichen der Weiche bzw. im Mittelbereich derselben und damit den erforderlichen Mindestabstand zwischen der abliegenden Weichenzunge und der Backenschiene zu gewährleisten. Zur Erreichung dieser Aufgabe besteht die Erfindung im wesentlichen darin, daß in wenigstens einem Zwischenbereich der Länge der Zungenschienen, insbesondere im Mittelbereich derselben, eine Lagesicherungsvorrichtung zur Sicherung der Lage der Zungenschienen angeordnet ist, welche wenigstens einen an den Zungenschienen angelenkten, um eine ortsfeste Drehachse schwenkbaren, durch einen Kraftspeicher belasteten Hebel aufweist, der durch die durch die Stellvorrichtung verstellbaren Zungenschienen betätigbar ist und der die Zungenschienen in der der jeweiligen Stellung der Zungenspitze entsprechenden, durch Anschlag bestimmten Lage hält. Durch den Kraftspeicher wird der Hebel in der jeweiligen Stellung der Lagesicherungsvorrichtung gehalten, und dadurch, daß die Zungenschienen an den Hebel angelenkt sind, werden die Zungenschienen in ihrer korrekten Lage gehalten. Durch den oder die Anschläge ist diese korrekte Lage bestimmt und es wird auch bei großer Elastizität der Weichenzungen gewährleistet, daß die Weichenzungen in den Zwischenbereichen und im Mittelbereich in der richtigen Lage liegen, so daß die Aufrechterhaltung des freien Durchganges zwischen der abliegenden Zungenschiene und der zugehörigen Backenschiene gewährleistet ist.The aim of the invention is to ensure the correct position of the switch tongues in the intermediate regions of the switch or in the central region of the switch and thus the required minimum distance between the remote switch tongue and the stock rail. To achieve this object, the invention consists in essentially that a position securing device for securing the position of the tongue rails is arranged in at least one intermediate region of the length of the tongue rails, in particular in the middle region thereof, which has at least one lever which is articulated on the tongue rails and can be pivoted about a stationary axis of rotation and is loaded by an energy store, which can be actuated by the tongue rails adjustable by the adjusting device and which holds the tongue bars in the position determined by the stop corresponding to the respective position of the tongue tip. The lever is held in the respective position of the position securing device by the energy store, and the fact that the tongue rails are articulated on the lever keeps the tongue rails in their correct position. The correct position is determined by the stop or stops and it is ensured even with great elasticity of the switch tongues that the switch tongues are in the correct position in the intermediate areas and in the middle area, so that the maintenance of the free passage between the remote tongue rail and the associated one Stock rail is guaranteed.

Die Umstellung der Weiche kann weiterhin durch einen im Spitzenbereich der Zungenschienen angeordneten Klammerverschluß erfolgen und in einem oder mehreren Zwischenbereichen wird nun die richtige Lage der Zungenschiene eingestellt, wobei die Umstellung der Lagesicherungsvorrichtung durch die Zungenschienen selbst automatisch erfolgt, ohne daß es einer eigenen Betätigungsvorrichtung bedarf.The switch can also be changed by a clamp fastener located in the tip area of the tongue rails and the correct position of the tongue rail is now set in one or more intermediate areas, the position securing device being automatically changed by the tongue rails itself, without the need for a separate actuating device.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Ausbildung so getroffen, daß die Wirkungslinie der Kraft des insbesondere von einer Druckfeder gebildeten Kraftspeichers in den beiden Endlagen des Hebels zu verschiedenen Seiten der Schwenkachse desselben liegt. Der Hebel wird hiebei durch die Zungenschienen unter Überwindung der Kraft des Kraftspeichers über einen Kippunkt verstellt, worauf dann der Kraftspeicher in die andere Richtung wirkt und den Hebel in die andere Endlage drückt, in welcher er wieder die Zungenschienen in der korrekten Lage hält.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the design is such that the line of action of the force of the energy store, which is formed in particular by a compression spring, lies in the two end positions of the lever on different sides of the pivot axis thereof. The lever is hereby through the tongue rails overcoming the force of the energy accumulator adjusted via a tipping point, whereupon the energy accumulator acts in the other direction and presses the lever into the other end position, in which it again holds the tongue rails in the correct position.

Gemäß der Erfindung kann die den Abstand der abliegenden Zungenschiene von der Backenschiene bestimmende Endlage des Hebels durch einen mit dem Hebel zusammenwirkenden ortsfesten, gegebenenfalls einstellbaren, Anschlag bestimmt sein. In diesem Falle wird die richtige Lage der Zungenschienen durch die Endlagen des Hebels bestimmt. Gemäß der Erfindung sind hiebei zweckmäßig der Hebel bzw. die Hebel mittels längeneinstellbarer Stangen an die Weichenzungen angelenkt. Durch die Längeneinstellbarkeit der Stangen, mittels welcher die Weichenzungen an den oder die Heben angelenkt sind, oder auch gegebenenfalls durch die Verstellbarkeit der Anschläge kann die richtige Lage der Zungenschienen in den Zwischenbereichen bzw. im Mittelbereich eingestellt werden. Hiebei kann gemäß der Erfindung die Lagesicherungsvorrichtung zwei zweiarmige Winkelhebel aufweisen, deren einer Arm an je eine Zungenschiene angelenkt ist und deren anderer Arm gegen den Kraftspeicher abgestützt ist. Es kann hiebei jeder Winkelhebel gegen einen gesonderten Kraftspeicher abgestützt sein, welcher seinerseits wieder gegen ein ortsfestes Widerlager abgestützt ist. Es kann hiebei jeder Winkelhebel gegen einen gesonderten Kraftspeicher abgestützt sein, welcher seinerseits wieder gegen ein ortsfestes Widerlager abgestützt ist. Eine solche Ausbildung von Winkelhebeln ist aus der DE-AS 15 30 341 bekannt. Hiebei werden die Winkelhebel jedoch nicht durch die Zungenschienen betätigt, welche durch eine gesonderte Stellvorrichtung verstellbar sind, sondern diese Winkelhebel bilden selbst die willkürlich betätigbare Verstellvorrichtung für die Weiche, welche an den Zungenspitzen der Zungenschienen angreift. Die Verstellung der Zungenspitzen erfolgt hiebei durch an diesen Winkelhebeln angreifende Elektromagneten. Diese Winkelhebel können daher nicht die Lage der Zungenschienen in einem Zwischenbereich oder Mittelbereich der Weiche sichern.According to the invention, the end position of the lever which determines the distance of the remote tongue rail from the stock rail can be determined by a fixed, optionally adjustable, stop which interacts with the lever. In this case the correct position of the tongue rails is determined by the end positions of the lever. According to the invention, the lever or levers are advantageously articulated to the switch tongues by means of length-adjustable rods. The correct position of the tongue rails in the intermediate regions or in the middle region can be set by the length adjustability of the rods, by means of which the switch tongues are articulated to the lift or the lifts, or by the adjustability of the stops, if necessary. Here, according to the invention, the position securing device can have two two-armed angle levers, one arm of which is articulated to a tongue rail and the other arm of which is supported against the energy accumulator. Each angle lever can be supported against a separate energy accumulator, which in turn is supported against a stationary abutment. Each angle lever can be supported against a separate energy accumulator, which in turn is supported against a stationary abutment. Such a design of angle levers is known from DE-AS 15 30 341. However, the angle levers are not actuated by the tongue rails, which are adjustable by a separate adjusting device, but these angle levers themselves form the arbitrarily actuable adjusting device for the switch, which acts on the tongue tips of the tongue rails. The tip of the tongue is adjusted by electromagnets that engage these angle levers. This angle lever can therefore not secure the position of the tongue rails in an intermediate or middle area of the switch.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Arme der beiden Winkelhebel gegen einen einzigen gemeinsamen Kraftspeicher abgestützt. Bei der Umstellung der Weiche schwenken beide Winkelhebel in verschiedenem Drehsinn. Die Abstützpunkte des Kraftspeichers verschieben sich somit gegenläufig. Dadurch werden die Winkel, welche die Kraftrichtung des Kraftspeichers mit den am Kraftspeicher angreifenden Armen der beiden Winkelhebel in den Endlagen derselben einschließen, vergrößert und die beiden Winkelhebel werden daher mit größerer Sicherheit in ihren Endlagen gehalten. Diese vergrößerte Sicherheit ist dann von wesentlicher Bedeutung, wenn die Zungenschienen in einem Zwischenbereich ausschließlich durch die Winkelhebel in ihrer Lage gehalten werden sollen. Bei einer solchen Ausbildung müssen die Winkelhebel zwischen den Geleisen angeordnet sein, da sie ja über den Federspeicher miteinander zusammenwirken. Wenn jeder Winkelhebel durch einen gesonderten Kraftspeicher an einem ortsfesten Widerlager abgestützt ist, können die Winkelhebel auch außerhalb des Geleises zu beiden Seiten desselben angeordnet sein.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the arms of the two angle levers are supported against a single common energy store. When switching the switch, both angle levers swivel in different directions. The support points of the energy accumulator thus move in opposite directions. As a result, the angles which include the direction of force of the energy accumulator with the arms of the two angle levers acting on the energy accumulator are increased in the end positions thereof, and the two angle levers are therefore held in their end positions with greater certainty. This increased safety is essential if the tongue rails are to be held in their position in an intermediate area exclusively by the angle lever. With such a design, the angle levers must be arranged between the tracks, since they interact with one another via the spring accumulator. If each angle lever is supported by a separate energy store on a stationary abutment, the angle lever can also be arranged on both sides of the same outside the track.

Gemäß der Erfindung können auch beide Zungenschienen im Bereich der Lagesicherungsvorrichtung durch eine an sie angelenkte, gegebenenfalls längeneinstellbare Verbindungsstange miteinander verbunden sein, wobei der Anschlag durch die jeweils an der Backenschiene anliegende Zungenschiene gebildet ist. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn die Lagesicherungsvorrichtung in einem Bereich oder in der Nähe eines Bereiches angeordnet ist, in welchem die anliegende Zungenschiene noch an der Backenschiene anliegt. Die anliegende Zungenschiene ist somit in ihrer Lage durch Anschlag an die Backenschiene gehalten und infolge der Verbindungsstange ist auch die abliegende Zungenschiene in ihrer Lage gehalten.According to the invention, both tongue rails can also be connected to one another in the area of the position securing device by a connecting rod which is articulated and optionally length-adjustable, the stop being formed by the tongue rail respectively resting on the stock rail. This is particularly advantageous if the position securing device is arranged in an area or in the vicinity of an area in which the tongue rail in contact still lies against the stock rail. The adjacent tongue rail is thus held in position by a stop on the stock rail and as a result of The remote tongue rail is also held in place by the connecting rod.

Gemäß der Erfindung kann aber auch die Lagesicherungsvorrichtung einen doppelarmigen Winkelhebel oder geradlinigen Hebel aufweisen, an dessen einem Arm beide Zungenschienen angelenkt sind und an dessen anderem Arm der Kraftspeicher angreift. In diesem Fall kann jede Zungenschiene durch eine Verbindungsstange mit dem betreffenden Arm des Winkelhebels verbunden sein, wobei sich auch die Verbindung der beiden Zungenschienen miteinander ergibt. Es kann aber der betreffende Hebelarm auch an eine die beiden Zungenschienen verbindende Verbindungsstange angelenkt sein, in welchem Falle für die Anlenkung des Hebels ein sich quer zur Verbindungsstange erstreckendes Langloch vorgesehen sein muß.According to the invention, however, the position securing device can also have a double-armed angle lever or rectilinear lever, on one arm of which both tongue rails are articulated and on the other arm of which the energy accumulator acts. In this case, each tongue rail can be connected to the relevant arm of the angle lever by a connecting rod, the connection of the two tongue rails also being produced. However, the lever arm in question can also be articulated to a connecting rod connecting the two tongue rails, in which case an elongated hole extending transversely to the connecting rod must be provided for the articulation of the lever.

Es kann auch gemäß der Erfindung die Lagesicherungsvorrichtung einen dreiarmigen Hebel aufweisen, von welchem zwei Arme an je einer Zungenschiene angelenkt sind und dessen dritter Arm gegen die Kraftspeicher abgestützt ist. In diesem Fall ist durch die beiden an die Hebelarme angelenkten Verbindungsstangen auch eine Verbindung zwischen beiden Weichenzungen gegeben.According to the invention, the position securing device can also have a three-armed lever, two arms of which are articulated to a tongue rail and the third arm of which is supported against the energy accumulators. In this case, the two connecting rods articulated on the lever arms also provide a connection between the two switch tongues.

In den Zeichnungen ist die Erfindung an Hand von Ausführungsbeispielen schematisch erläutert.In the drawings, the invention is explained schematically using exemplary embodiments.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die Gleisweiche, Fig. 2 bis Fig. 6 zeigen verschiedene Ausbildungen der Lagesicherungsvorrichtung in größerem Maßstab in Draufsicht.Fig. 1 shows a plan view of the track switch, Fig. 2 to Fig. 6 show different designs of the position securing device on a larger scale in plan view.

In Fig. 1 ist der gesamte Weichenbereich in Draufsicht dargestellt. 1 und 2 sind die beiden Backenschienen, 3 und 4 sind die beiden Zungenschienen. Im Zungenbereich A liegt je nach der Stellung der Weiche entweder die Zungenspitze der Zungenschiene 3 an der Backenschiene 1 an oder es liegt die Zungenspitze der Zungenschiene 4 an der Backenschiene 2 an. Die Verstellung der Weiche erfolgt in üblicher Weise von einer, einen Klammerverschluß bildenden, in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Stellvorrichtung, welche im Zungenbereich A an den Zungenschienen 3 und 4 angreift. Infolge der Elastizität der Zungenschienen ist bei Weichen mit großem Radius die Lage der Zungenschienen in den Zwischenbereichen der Weiche nicht gesichert. Es ist daher in einem Zwischenbereich bzw. im Mittelbereich der Lage der Weiche bzw. der Zungenschienen eine Lagesicherungsvorrichtung B angeordnet, welche die Stellung der Zungenschienen in diesem Bereich bestimmt.In Fig. 1 the entire switch area is shown in plan view. 1 and 2 are the two stock rails, 3 and 4 are the two tongue rails. In the tongue area A, depending on the position of the switch, either the tongue tip of the tongue rail 3 bears against the stock rail 1 or it lies Tongue tip of the tongue rail 4 on the stock rail 2. The switch is adjusted in the usual way by an adjusting device which forms a clamp closure and is not shown in the drawing and which acts on the tongue rails 3 and 4 in the tongue area A. Due to the elasticity of the switch rails, the position of the switch rails in the intermediate areas of the switch is not secured for switches with a large radius. A position securing device B, which determines the position of the tongue rails in this area, is therefore arranged in an intermediate region or in the middle region of the position of the switch or the tongue rails.

Diese Lagesicherungsvorrichtung B ist in Fig. 2 in größerem Maßstab dargestellt. Es sind wieder die Backenschienen mit 1 und 2 und die Zungenschienen mit 3 und 4 bezeichnet. Zwischen den Geleisen ist eine Platte 5 an den Schwellen festgelegt. Diese Platte trägt Schwenkachsen 6, an welchen Winkelhebel 7 und 8 schwenkbar festgelegt sind. Die Enden der Arme 9 und 10 sind über längeneinstellbare Stangen 11 an den Zungenschienen angelenkt. Die Arme 12 und 13 sind durch einen von einer Druckfeder gebildeten Kraftspeicher 14 gegeneinander abgestützt. In der Darstellung der Fig. 2 liegt die Zungenschiene 4 von der Backenschiene 2 ab, wobei der Durchgang zwischen Backenschiene 2 und Zungenschiene 4 mit 15 bezeichnet ist. Die Zungenspitze der Zungenschiene 3 liegt an der Backenschiene 1 an. Die Endlage des Winkelhebels 8, welche den größten Durchgang 15 zwischen Backenschiene 2 und Zungenschiene 4 bestimmt, ist durch einen Anschlag 16 bestimmt. Die Endlage des Winkelhebels 7 ist in analoger Weise durch einen Anschlag 17 bestimmt. Die Achsen 6 und die Anschläge 16 und 17 sind ortsfest an der Platte 5 festgelegt, welche ihrerseits an den nicht dargestellten Schwellen befestigt ist.This position securing device B is shown in Fig. 2 on a larger scale. The stock rails are again labeled 1 and 2 and the tongue rails 3 and 4. Between the tracks, a plate 5 is fixed to the sleepers. This plate carries pivot axes 6, on which angle levers 7 and 8 are pivotally attached. The ends of the arms 9 and 10 are articulated on the tongue rails via length-adjustable rods 11. The arms 12 and 13 are supported against each other by an energy accumulator 14 formed by a compression spring. 2, the tongue rail 4 lies away from the stock rail 2, the passage between the stock rail 2 and the tongue rail 4 being designated by 15. The tongue tip of the tongue rail 3 lies against the stock rail 1. The end position of the angle lever 8, which determines the largest passage 15 between the stock rail 2 and the tongue rail 4, is determined by a stop 16. The end position of the angle lever 7 is determined in an analogous manner by a stop 17. The axes 6 and the stops 16 and 17 are fixed in place on the plate 5, which in turn is attached to the sleepers, not shown.

Bei einer Verstellung der Weiche werden durch die Stangen 11 die Arme 9 und 10 der Winkelhebel mitgenommen. Die Winkelhebel 7 und 8 werden verschwenkt und die Zungenschiene 3 von der Backenschiene 1 abgehoben, wobei die Zungenschiene 4 an die Backenschiene 2 angelegt wird. Es ergibt sich hiebei eine spiegelbildlich gleiche Stellung der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Anordnung. Der Kraftspeicher 14 steht nun in der anderen Richtung schräg und beim Übergang in diese neue Stellung überschreitet der Kraftspeicher 14 die Kippstellung, in welcher er in einer Linie mit den Armen 12 und 13 liegt und daher auf das kleinste Maß zusammengedrückt ist. In dieser umgestellten Lage liegt dann der Arm 12 an dem Anschlag 17 an, und der Arm 13 ist vom Anschlag 16 abgehoben.When the switch is adjusted, the arms 9 and 10 of the angle lever are carried along by the rods 11. The angle levers 7 and 8 are pivoted and the tongue rail 3 by the stock rail 1 lifted off, the tongue rail 4 being placed against the stock rail 2. The result is a mirror image of the same position of the arrangement shown in FIG. 2. The energy accumulator 14 is now at an angle in the other direction and when moving into this new position the energy accumulator 14 exceeds the tilt position in which it lies in line with the arms 12 and 13 and is therefore compressed to the smallest extent. In this changed position, the arm 12 then lies against the stop 17, and the arm 13 is lifted off the stop 16.

Da durch den Kraftspeicher 14 die Arme 12 und 13 stets an einen der Anschläge 16 und 17 angedrückt sind (bei der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Stellung ist der Arm 13 an den Anschlag 16 angedrückt), wird durch die Winkelhebel 7 und 8 in Zusammenwirken mit dem Kraftspeicher 14 auch der engste Durchgang 15 zwischen Backenschiene 2 und Zungenschiene 4 begrenzt und auf die Gewährleistung dieses engsten Durchganges kommt es an, damit die Spurkränze der Ränder unbehindert die Backenschienen 1 und 2 überfahren können.Since by the energy accumulator 14, the arms 12 and 13 are always pressed against one of the stops 16 and 17 (in the position shown in the drawing, the arm 13 is pressed against the stop 16), the angle lever 7 and 8 in cooperation with the The energy store 14 also limits the narrowest passage 15 between the stock rail 2 and the tongue rail 4 and it is important to ensure this narrowest passage so that the wheel flanges of the edges can pass over the stock rails 1 and 2 without hindrance.

Beim Umstellen der Weiche bewegen sich somit die Enden bzw. Anlenkstellen 18 und 19 der Arme 12 und 13 gegenläufig. Dadurch wird der Winkel , welchen die Wirkungslinie 20 der Kraft des Kraftspeichers 14 mit den Armen 12 und 13 einschließt, wesentlich größer, als wenn der Kraftspeicher 14 ortsfest abgestützt wäre, und es wird die Endlage der Winkelhebel 7 und 8, welche den Durchgang 15 zwischen Backenschiene und Zungenschiene bestimmt, mit größter Sicherheit eingehalten. 21 ist ein Teleskoprohr, welches ein Ausknicken der den Kraftspeicher bildenden Druckfeder 14 verhindert.When moving the switch, the ends or articulation points 18 and 19 of the arms 12 and 13 move in opposite directions. As a result, the angle, which includes the line of action 20 of the force of the energy accumulator 14 with the arms 12 and 13, is substantially greater than if the energy accumulator 14 were supported in a stationary manner, and it becomes the end position of the angle levers 7 and 8 which define the passage 15 between Stock rail and tongue rail determined, adhered to with the greatest security. 21 is a telescopic tube which prevents the compression spring 14 forming the energy accumulator from buckling.

Bei der Anordnung nach Fig. 3 ist wieder die Stellung der Zungenschienen 3 und 4 relativ zu den Backenschienen 1 und 2 durch Winkelhebel 7 und 8 bestimmt. Die Arme 9 und 10 greifen über einstellbare Stangen 22 bei 23 an den Zungenschienen 3 und 4 an. An den Armen 12 und 13 greifen wieder Kraftspeicher 24 an. Diese Kraftspeicher 24 sind aber hier gegen ortsfest an Platten 25, welche an den Schwellen 26 befestigt sind, festgelegte Widerlager 27 abgestützt.In the arrangement according to FIG. 3, the position of the tongue rails 3 and 4 relative to the stock rails 1 and 2 is again determined by angle levers 7 and 8. The arms 9 and 10 engage on the tongue rails 3 via adjustable rods 22 at 23 and 4 on. Force accumulators 24 engage arms 12 and 13 again. However, these energy stores 24 are supported here against abutments 27 fixed on plates 25 which are fastened to the sleepers 26.

Beide Zungenschienen können durch eine, gegebenenfalls längeneinstellbare Stange 30 miteinander verbunden sein. Wenn in diesem Bereich jeweils eine der Zungenschienen 3 oder 4 an einer Backenschiene 1 oder 2 anliegt, können die Anschläge 29 durch die Verbindungsstange 30 ersetzt werden.Both tongue rails can be connected to one another by a rod 30, which may be adjustable in length. If one of the tongue rails 3 or 4 abuts a stock rail 1 or 2 in this area, the stops 29 can be replaced by the connecting rod 30.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 3 sind die Platten 25 mit den Winkelhebeln 7 und 8 außerhalb des Geleises zu beiden Seiten desselben angeordnet. Diese Platten 25 mit den Winkelhebeln 7 und 8 können aber auch zwischen den Geleisen angeordnet sein.3, the plates 25 with the angle levers 7 and 8 are arranged outside the track on both sides of the same. These plates 25 with the angle levers 7 and 8 can also be arranged between the tracks.

Bei der Anordnung nach Fig. 4 weist die Lagesicherungsvorrichtung einen doppelarmigen Hebel 31, 32 auf, der um eine ortsfeste Achse 33 verschwenkbar ist. An einem ortsfesten Widerlager 34 ist ein von einer Feder gebildeter Kraftspeicher 35 schwenkbar abgestützt, gegen welchen der Hebelarm 32 abgestützt ist. Der Hebelarm 31 greift an einer Verbindungsstange 36 an, welche an die beiden Zungenschienen 3 und 4 angelenkt ist. Wenn die Zungenschienen 3 und 4 aus der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Lage nach rechts bewegt werden, gelangt der Hebelarm 31 in die Stellung 31', der Hebelarm 32 in die Stellung 32' und der Kraftspeicher 35 in die Stellung 35', und es gelangt dann die Zungenschiene 4 in Anschlag an die Backenschiene 2. Die jeweilige Stellung der Zungenschiene ist durch die Kraft des Kraftspeichers 35 und durch den Anschlag der jeweiligen Zungenschienen 3 und 4 an die zugehörigen Backenschienen 1, 2 bestimmt. Da die Verbindungsstange 36 starr ist, weist die Anlenkstelle 37 ein Langloch 38 auf.In the arrangement according to FIG. 4, the position securing device has a double-armed lever 31, 32 which can be pivoted about a stationary axis 33. On a stationary abutment 34, a force accumulator 35 formed by a spring is pivotally supported, against which the lever arm 32 is supported. The lever arm 31 engages on a connecting rod 36 which is articulated on the two tongue rails 3 and 4. When the tongue rails 3 and 4 are moved to the right from the position shown in the drawing, the lever arm 31 comes to the position 31 ', the lever arm 32 to the position 32' and the energy accumulator 35 to the position 35 ', and it then arrives the tongue rail 4 in abutment on the stock rail 2. The respective position of the tongue rail is determined by the force of the energy store 35 and by the abutment of the respective tongue rails 3 and 4 on the associated stock rails 1, 2. Since the connecting rod 36 is rigid, the articulation point 37 has an elongated hole 38.

Bei der Anordnung nach Fig. 5 ist die Lagesicherungsvorrichtung von einem dreiarmigen Hebel gebildet, der um ein ortsfestes Widerlager 39 schwenkbar ist. An diesem dreiarmigen Hebel ist bei 40 eine an die Zungenschiene 3 angelenkte Stange 41 angelenkt, bei 42 ist eine an die Zungenschiene 4 angelenkte Verbindungsstange 43 angelenkt. An den Hebelarm 44 ist wieder ein Kraftspeicher 45 angelenkt, der gegen ein ortsfestes Widerlager 46 schwenkbar abgestützt ist. Bei einer Verstellung der Zungenschienen 3, 4 aus der dargestellten Lage nach rechts gelangen wieder die Anlenkstellen 40 in die Lage 40', die Anlenkstellen 42 in die Lage 42', der Hebelarm 44 in die Stellung 44' und der Kraftspeicher 45 in die Lage 45'. Der die Endlage bestimmende Anschlag wird durch die jeweils anliegende Zungenschiene 3 oder 4 an der zugehörigen Backenschiene 1 oder 2 gebildet.5, the position securing device is formed by a three-armed lever which can be pivoted about a stationary abutment 39. At this three-armed lever, a rod 41 articulated on the tongue rail 3 is articulated at 40, at 42 a connecting rod 43 is articulated on the tongue rail 4. A force accumulator 45 is again articulated on the lever arm 44 and is pivotably supported against a stationary abutment 46. When the tongue rails 3, 4 are moved to the right from the position shown, the articulation points 40 again come into position 40 ', the articulation points 42 into position 42', the lever arm 44 into position 44 'and the energy accumulator 45 into position 45 '. The stop determining the end position is formed by the respective tongue rail 3 or 4 on the associated stock rail 1 or 2.

Bei der Anordnung nach Fig. 6 weist die Lagesicherungsvorrichtung einen geradlinigen doppelarmigen Hebel 47, 48 auf, welcher um eine ortsfeste Achse 49 schwenkbar ist. 50 ist eine starre Verbindungsstange, welche bei 51 und 52 an die Zungenschienen 3 und 4 angelenkt ist. Der Hebelarm 47 ist an die Verbindungsstange 50 mittels eines Langloches bei 53 angelenkt. An den Hebelarm 48 greift wieder an ein starres Widerlager 54 schwenkbar abgestützter Kraftspeicher 55 an, welcher nach Überschreiten der Kipplage die Zungenschiene 3 oder 4 an die zugehörige Backenschiene 1 oder 2 andrückt.In the arrangement according to FIG. 6, the position securing device has a straight-line, double-armed lever 47, 48 which can be pivoted about a fixed axis 49. 50 is a rigid connecting rod which is articulated to the tongue rails 3 and 4 at 51 and 52. The lever arm 47 is articulated to the connecting rod 50 by means of an elongated hole at 53. The lever arm 48 again engages on a rigid abutment 54 pivotally supported energy store 55, which presses the tongue rail 3 or 4 against the associated stock rail 1 or 2 after the tilting position has been exceeded.
