The invention relates to a guide plate for a system for fastening a rail to a substrate on which there is provided, laterally of the railway track, a shoulder, which absorbs the forces occurring when the rail is traveled on by a rail vehicle, the guide plate having an underside which is associated with the substrate and an upper side which is exposed in the installation position, is remote from the underside and on which it is possible to support a spring element provided for applying resiliently elastic holding-down forces to the rail to be fastened.

Guide plate for a system for fastening a rail to a substrate, and a system comprising a guide plate of this type

An elastic tensioning clamp made of spring steel for rail fixation comprises a central loop () having two inner legs () connected by an arc-shaped central portion () as well as nooses () connected to the inner legs () of the central loop () and running towards the free ends () of the tensioning clamp (). The nooses () are formed so as to have, in the unloaded state, a maximum height (H) of at least 20 mm above the upper plane (E) of the central loop () in the region of the two inner legs ().

Elastic tensioning clamp and rail fixation therefore

A system for fastening a rail on a substrate includes a base plate, molded into which is a central portion, the width of which is adapted to the width of the rail foot of the rail to be fastened, with at least one fastening element for connecting the base plate to the substrate. The at least one tensioning element is provided for holding down the rail on the base plate. The system provides a fastening system allowing fastening of rails that satisfies modern requirements with the additional benefit of low production costs and simple assembly, while maintaining the basic configuration of the base plate provided and using simple means.
