launch lug
Explanation:
Similar to, but different from Bernd's answer. I made a separate entry only because this is used with a rod, not a rail, and the lug is nothing more than a small tube that fits over the rod.

But feel free to give Bernd the credit if you think it's too similar.

Startführungen
(launcher) rail lugs


Explanation:
Die Führung scheint hier nicht die eigentliche "Rampe" zu sein, sondern die Platte, die Nase oder der Steg an der Rakete, der in die Schiene eingreift und die Rakete für die ersten Zentimeter die Startschiene entlang führt.
