ABSTRACT:
The device comprises a support such as a railway tie defining a projecting shoulder on each side of a support table for the rail. An insulating clip has a body cooperating with the shoulder and a nose portion bearing against the flange of the rail. An elastically yieldable strip is superimposed on the clip and a fixing bolt extends through apertures in the clip body and the strip. The clip body has, on the side of the body remote from the nose portion, a heel portion which defines two surfaces which bear respectively against a lower support surface of the support and against the shoulder. The clip body defines in the center part an upper surface which is substantially parallel to the strip. Beyond a predetermined tightening force the additional force is transmitted to the support through the body and the heel portion of the clip.
