APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR APPLYING SINGLE-COMPONENT OR MULTI-COMPONENT ADHESIVE TO A BALLAST BED AND USE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044087 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR APPLYING SINGLE-COMPONENT OR MULTI-COMPONENT ADHESIVE TO A BALLAST BED AND USE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus for applying adhesive to a ballast bed of a stretch of rails in a rail path. The apparatus includes a container for the adhesive and elements for conveying the adhesive for application, mounted on a supply vehicle that can be driven on or adjacent to the rail path. The adhesive is guided from the supply vehicle using a hose with a single nozzle. The apparatus also includes a trolley that can be temporarily coupled and secured to a rail, and can be moved in a rail-bound manner at a desired and uniform speed independently of the supply vehicle. The trolley supports a boom on which the nozzle is mounted, allowing for a defined depth of penetration of the adhesive to be maintained at a uniform running speed of the trolley and defined flow rates of the adhesive, depending on the characteristics of the ballast bed and spray pattern.

  • The apparatus is designed to apply adhesive to a ballast bed of rails in a rail path.
  • It includes a container for the adhesive and elements for conveying the adhesive for application.
  • The adhesive is guided from the supply vehicle using a hose with a single nozzle.
  • A trolley is used to move the nozzle along the rail path at a desired and uniform speed independently of the supply vehicle.
  • The trolley supports a boom on which the nozzle is mounted, allowing for a defined depth of penetration of the adhesive to be maintained.
  • The running speed of the trolley and flow rates of the adhesive can be adjusted based on the characteristics of the ballast bed and spray pattern.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Applying adhesive to ballast beds of rails in railway maintenance and construction projects.
  • Ensuring a uniform and controlled application of adhesive for improved stability and longevity of the rail system.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a more efficient and precise method for applying adhesive to ballast beds compared to manual application.
  • Allows for a defined depth of penetration of the adhesive, ensuring optimal bonding and stability of the rail system.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and accuracy in applying adhesive to ballast beds.
  • Enhanced stability and longevity of the rail system.
  • Cost savings through reduced manual labor and material waste.


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus for applying a single-component or multi-component adhesive to a ballast bed of a stretch of rails in a rail path, includes a container for the adhesive and elements for conveying the adhesive for application are mounted on a supply vehicle which can be driven on, or adjacent to, the rail path. the adhesive is guided from the supply vehicle with a hose having a one nozzle. the apparatus further includes a trolley that can be temporarily coupled and secured to a rail, and can be moved in a rail-bound manner at a desired and uniform speed independently of the supply vehicle. the trolley supports a boom on which the nozzle is mounted, so that a defined depth of penetration of the adhesive can be maintained by the apparatus at a uniform running speed of the trolley and defined flow rates of the adhesive depending upon the characteristics of the ballast bed and spray pattern.
