Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0145609A2] 1. A covering for a level crossing of the type comprising, between two rails (1 ; 41 ; 91) of a railway track laid on blocks (2) or monolithic sleepers (50) or longitudinals sleepers, at least two internal highway elements (3 ; 43 ; 93) or sets thereof disposed in facing relationship so as to be able to align themselves with one another and/or pivot slightly relatively to one another around an alignment and/or pivoting axis (4a ; 44a) disposed in their meeting plane, characterized in that at the end remote from the latter axis the internal elements (3 ; 43 ; 93) rest, preferably resiliently, on corresponding rests (12 ; 52) on the blocks (2), monolithic sleepers (50) or longitudinal sleepers so as to be able to pivot slightly on such rests (12 ; 52) around an axis substantially parallel to the alignment and/or pivoting axis (4a ; 44a) ; adjustable spacing means (15 ; 55 ; 105) are provided between the rail web (1a ; 41a ; 91a) and the webs (3a ; 43a ; 93a) of those end faces of the internal elements (3 ; 43 ; 93) disposed at that end thereof remote from the alignment and/or pivoting axis (4a ; 44a) ; the axes along which the spacing devices (15 ; 55 ; 105) are operative extend above the alignement and/or pivoting axis (4a ; 44a) ; and means (19 ; 59) are provided for retaining, against stresses tending to raise them, those of the said end faces which are remote from the alignment and/or pivoting axis (4a ; 44a), the retaining means (19 ; 59) bearing on the rail feet (1b ; 41b ; 91b).
