The invention relates to supporting a switch rail of a switch having a projecting leaf spring which can be pretensioned to the switch rail and on which the switch rail is displaceably arranged. Low friction and easy adaptation to the mounting position is possible in that the leaf spring is adjustably arranged in its longitudinal direction in a guide body which can be fastened to the stock rail.

A turnout apparatus for an overhead monorail includes a frame, an input fixed rail docking an input rail, output fixed rails each docking an output rail, and movable rails disposed between the input fixed rail and the output fixed rails. The input fixed rail is disposed at one end of the frame. The output fixed rails include a first output fixed rail and a second output fixed rail disposed at the other end of the frame. The movable rails include a first movable rail docking the input fixed rail and the first output fixed rail, and a second movable rail docking the input fixed rail and the second output fixed rail. The first and second movable rails are fixed and rotatable about a horizontal line as an axis. Directions toward which upper rail surfaces of the first movable rail and the second movable rail face differ by 180 degrees.

A device for moving a tongue rail of a railway switch, comprising at least two rollers arranged one behind the other and substantially parallel to the course of the rail, on which rollers the tongue rail can roll up from a lower abutting position on the stock rail and directly in front of the first roller onto the first roller, and can roll on to another roller until the tongue rail reaches an open switch remote, wherein at least one additional intermediate roller that is smaller than the rollers, is provided in the space between the rollers, and wherein the axis of rotation of the intermediate roller is arranged substantially parallel to the axes of rotation of the rollers.

The disclosed solution generally relates to a switch point roller assembly. The switch point roller assembly is configured to be operatively connected to a switch point within a railway switch. The switch point roller assembly comprises a spring, a bolt assembly, a roller assembly, a housing assembly, and a base plate. The base plate may be secured such that the roller assembly is in substantial contact with a railway plate during movement of the switch pointsuch that the operation of the switch point is improved. As such, the switch point is more resilient to wear thus leading to decreased maintenance costs and increased safety for personnel, passengers, and property.
