Device for securing railway lines

Abstract

The device ( 20, 30 ) for securing railway tracks, which is formed by railway sleepers ( 11 ) to which parallel rails ( 12 ) are placed, on which track running vehicles such as trains, city light rails, trams, etc., traffic. The device ( 20, 30 ) is designed to prevent animals or humans from loitering on the tracks. The device ( 20, 30 ) includes elevations ( 21 ) which stretch between the rails ( 12 ). The elevations ( 21 ) are placed permanently on or integrated into the railway sleepers ( 11, 20 ), or the elevations ( 21 ) are placed between the conductor rails ( 22 ) that are attached to the sleepers ( 11, 20 ). The elevations ( 21 ) are placed at reciprocal distances and form elevations on the tracks which make it uncomfortable for humans and animals to walk on them.

1 .- 13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . An arrangement for securing railway tracks, the track being formed by a number of concrete railway sleepers onto which parallel rails are mounted, wherein the arrangement includes concrete elevations mounted on or integrated into the sleepers in a middle part thereof and having a horizontal extension smaller than the distance between the rails, the elevations being shaped with an edge pointing upward, the spaces between the sleepers being left uncovered. 
     
     
         15 . An arrangement according to  claim 14 , wherein the elevations include end blocks adapted for fastening conductor rails thereon. 
     
     
         16 . An arrangement to  claim 15 , further including a termination point, the distance between the conductor rails becoming narrower until the conductor rails are meeting in said termination point. 
     
     
         17 . An arrangement according to  claim 15 , wherein the conductor rails have a hollow profile design or U-shaped design forming channels for holding cables. 
     
     
         18 . An arrangement as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the conductor rails have cut outs or openings providing access to said channels. 
     
     
         19 . An arrangement according to  claim 15 , wherein each elevation has a horizontal extension less than the distance between the conductor rails, each conductor rail admitting a train wheel between itself and the rail.
