A stock rail fastening for switches of railway track installations in which a slide chair and spring U-clip fix one flange of a stock rail to a baseplate, and a clamp fixes the other flange of the stock rail to the baseplate. The slide chair has one side overhanging the one flange and is spaced apart from the base plate to provide a recess therebetween. The spring U-clip is within the recess under bending tension and has a loop portion bearing against the one flange, and a pair of arms extending from the loop portion and having spaced apart ends supported on notches at another side of the slide chair. The entirety of the U-clip is polygonal in cross section, the arms between the loop portion and the ends have a portion which is square in cross section, and the arms each have a side face parallel to a horizontal plane when the U-clip is tension free.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A stock rail fastening for switches of railway track installations, in which a stock rail having a first flange and a second flange rests on a baseplate, and a switch toe spans the bottom of the rail, and clamping means fixes the first flange to the baseplate, said rail fastening comprising: a.
a slide chair, for the switch toe, adjacent the second flange and having one side overhanging the second flange, said slide chair being spaced apart from the baseplate to form a recess therebetween and having an opening at another side opposite said one side and remote from the rail, said another side having notches; and b.
a spring U-clip within the recess having a loop portion bearing against the second flange and a pair of arms extending from said loop portion and having spaced apart ends supported in said notches, said arms being under bending tension; the entirety of said U-clip being polygonal in cross section, said arms between said loop portion and said ends having a portion which is square in cross section, and said arms each having a side face parallel to a horizontal plane when said U-clip is tension free.
2.
A stock rail fastening according to claim 1 wherein when the spring U-clip is viewed from its side in a tension free state, said arms are straight and symmetrical about a horizontal plane lying along the longitudinal axis of said U-clip.
3.
A stock rail fastening according to claim 1 wherein said loop portion is chamfered symmetrically about the horizontal plane of said U-clip.
4.
A stock rail fastening according to claim 1 wherein said ends are chamfered symmetrically about the horizontal plane of said U-clip.
5.
A stock rail fastening according to claim 1 wherein said loop portion and said arms are symmetrical about a vertical plane lying along the longitudinal axis of said U-clip, and said arms have a small air gap between said loop portion and said spaced apart ends, said gap being smaller than the distance between said spaced-apart ends.
6.
A stock rail fastening according to claim 1 in which said arms of said U-clip have a small air gap between said loop portion and said ends, said gap being formed by a rounded segment of said arms, the portions of said rounded segment which face each other being chamfered to present two surfaces on each arm which lie symmetrically to a horizontal plane and a third surface on each arm which connects said two surfaces and extends across the horizontal plane
