ELASTIC TERMINAL Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC E01B9/30 E01B9/48 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: elastic terminal comprises a spring terminal and an electric insulator. The electric insulator is arranged by method of forming jointly with the spring terminal in the form of a single part, represents an integral whole with it and comprises a support surface of a flat or convex shape for support against the upper shelf of the rail foot and the support surface for supporting against an anchor of a rail brace arranged at the angle α=0-10° to the vertical plane, stretching via the axis of the spring terminal bar. The support surface for support against the anchor of the rail brace comprises a wedge-like slope arranged in a horizontal plane at the angle of 0 < β ≤ 30° to the axis of the spring terminal bar with the possibility to set the rail track width. To perceive higher dynamic loads, the elastic terminal is arranged with increased length of the electric insulator.

EFFECT: higher reliability and resource of rail brace operation.
