Abstract
A device for the suspension of a rail, especially of a hollow-section rail which opens downward in a suspension crane, includes a carrying apparatus with a traction element which has two ends. One of the ends of the traction element may be fasten to the rail. To provide a rigid suspension of a rail in which horizontal forces, especially pulse-like horizontal forces, are extensively damped, the device includes a rubber-metal element connected between the carrying apparatus and the traction element with two substantially horizontal metal carriers arranged at a distance from one another. A rubber or elastic element is fastened to the inner surfaces of the metal carriers, which inner surfaces face one another. The carrying apparatus is fixedly connected with the lower metal carrier and the other end of the traction element is fixedly connected with the upper metal carrier.
