Abstract
This invention relates to a clip for fastening a rail of a railway on a rail support comprising: a spring clip forming a device for fastening or clamping the rail on a rail support, constituted by a clip made of elastic metal having a first end and a second end and presenting successively, from the first end, a first section forming a substantially rectilinear arm, a second section forming a substantially 180.degree. bend, a third section, a fourth section forming a substantially 180.degree. bend and a fifth section disposed substantially parallel to the rail and adapted to exert a clamping effort on the base flange of the rail, and an anchoring device adapted to receive the spring clip and embedded or fixed in the rail support, wherein the spring clip comprises a sixth section disposed transversely with respect to the fifth section, being directed towards the first section so that, when the spring clip is mounted on the anchoring device, the spring clip clamps the base flange of the rail by its fifth section, and a transverse sixth section cooperates with an aperture for stopping displacement of the spring clip, fast with the anchoring device.
