presses the ribbed plate in a load free condition against an upper abutment the ribbed plate is pressed down in a direction of the support with compression of the elastic intermediate plate the rail seat further includes a spring element arranged between the support and the ribbed plate wherein the spring element is connected in parallel to produce a spring action of the elastic intermediate plate application_number US 90637507 A description fig1 and 2 in fig2 without a representation of the push down elements 4 show a rail seat with a ribbed plate 1 and a support 2 the seat serves to retain and mount a rail 3 such as a railroad rail which has a patten 3 u2032 and on both sides an upper contact surface 3 u2033 which is here formed by the upper side of patten 3 u2032 ribbed plate 1 is provided on both sides of patten 3 u2032 with a bearing journal type attachment 8 which is here designed as a welded on bridge obviously the geometry may also be produced in other ways so that a push under passage 5 is provided which is capable of retaining an inserted push down element 4 in the downward direction push down element 4 is inserted in a rectangular recess of the journal bearing type attachments 8 and is supported on the patten with a bending stress with a front torsional spring section 4 u2032 close to the rail the opposite side of push down element 4 is designed as a pressure region 4 u2033 which is supported on ribbed plate 1 as an abutment an intermediate layer 9 is arranged between rail 3 and ribbed.
