DEVICE TO REDUCE RAILWAY TRACK VIBRATION LEVEL Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: railway transport; permanent way. SUBSTANCE: device to reduce track vibration level of consists of rigid duct, lower elastic support member 2, side and end face elastic members 3. duct has walls 6 forming closed circuit, and bottom 4 with fixing frame 5 projecting inwards over perimeter. Lower elastic support member 2 made in form of rectangle is arranged inside fixing frame 5 and it contains different height vertical projections rectangular in plan arranged with clearance from edges and from each other.
