Steel reinforced section for railway platform - has safety area underneath formed between projecting top and bottom platform edge

摘要

The upper surface of the platform ends in a front edge (9) of a tread-plate incorporated in a wall forming the front side (11) of the platform. Parallel to the tread plate (10) is a support whose front edge (24) protrudes beyond the edge of the platform. The insides (15, 16) of the two plates converge, while their outer sides (17, 18) run parallel. Between the inside end of one sloping side and the front wall side is a sloping surface (19). The tread plate (20) consists of a covering such as wood, asphalt, and/or concrete, so that the outer surface (17) of the tread-plate is lower than the top of the tread plate.
