Embodiment Construction

[0037] The reason for the invention is an attempt to replace the device 1 used for the articulated connector between rail vehicle cars by another device according to the invention, which device is fixed to one end of the car 3 by another device according to the invention, as figure 1 shown.

[0038] According to another device according to the invention, it must not only provide the same function as the articulated joint between the carriages and the passage of passengers; it must also provide a cushioning function in the event of an impact.

[0039] The device according to the invention also involves an articulated connector as described below, which must also not be more figure 1 The device 1 shown in is bulky, so that it can in practice be replaced by an articulated connector according to the invention without changing the form of the end 5 of the carriage 3 .

[0040] The end 5 of the carriage has a wall 7 through which a communication channel 9 is passed, the height of w...

Abstract

The invention relates to an articulated coupling between a first car (3) and a second car of a vehicle, especially a railway vehicle, having at least two cars, said articulated coupling including a first element (33) capable of being connected to said first car (3) and a second element (35) capable of being connected to said second car, a device for moving said second element (35) in translation relative to said first element (33) in the event of an impact, and an energy absorber capable of being arranged between said first (3) and second (19) cars. The energy absorber is arranged between said first (33) and second (35) elements, and in the first element (33) is designed to allow persons to pass between said first car (3) and said second car.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an articulated coupling between a first car and a second car of a vehicle having at least two cars, in particular a rail vehicle, said type of articulated coupling comprising a A first element of a first compartment, a second element connectable to said second compartment, means for translating the second element relative to the first element in the event of an impact and arranged between said first and second compartments Energy absorbing device between. Background technique [0002] Document FR2716149 describes an articulated connector whose purpose is to protect the structure of a rail vehicle and the connecting device between the vehicles in the event of a minor collision. [0003] Such an articulated connector is particularly useful when it is mounted between two double-decked cars of a rail vehicle since a double-deck car has a much greater weight than a single-deck car. [0004] For rail vehicles with single-deck carri...
