Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9515415A1] The invention pertains to a method for holding down a swing nose (5) of a crossing (1) of a railway switch, wherein the swing nose (5) is held down in its idle position and the hold-down mechanism is released to initiate a switching operation. To achieve a very simple hold-down and especially to allow for simple retrofitting of the hold-down device (6) in a crossing, the invention provides that the swing nose (5) is held down magnetically. The invention also pertains to a hold-down device (6) to hold down a swing nose (5) of a crossing (1) of a railway switch, in particular to implement said method with at least one magnet.
