(54)	Device for securing a safety construction to a rail

(57) Device for securing a safety construction to a rail (2), comprising an elongated portion, such as a tube (1), that can be slid underneath the rail. The free end of the tube (1) has a hook-shaped portion (4) that grips across the foot (7) of the rail (2). A bush (8) is slidably mounted on the tube and has at least one lip (16) that can grip across the foot (7) of the rail (2) and has a slot (9) in its upper surface, holding a pivotably mounted cam (10) that can cooperate with a toothing (14) which is mounted in or on the upper surface (15) of the tube. Cam (10) and toothing (14) are designed and mounted such, that the cam and thus the bush (8) can be locked in the position in which the lip (16) is located above the foot of the rail.
