Furthermore, the components disclosed in the embodiments described below may be combined as appropriate, or may be selected and used as appropriate.
[0015] As shown in the plan view of FIG. 1(A) and the front view of FIG. 1(B) when in use, and in the front view of FIG. 2 when stored, the embodiment of the bridging device 40 according to the present invention comprises a receiving platform 42 disposed on the gate 32 of the loading platform 30 of the road-rail vehicle, a pair of clamps 44 for fixing the receiving platform 42 to the gate 32, a fixed scaffold 46 that slides from the inside of the gate 32 upward (to the left in FIG. 1), and a clamp 44 for clamping the receiving platform 42 to the gate 32. and a tip support 50 rotatably arranged at the tip of the sliding scaffolding 48 by a hinge 49. When the gate board 32 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 2 around the axis 31 and tilted outward, and the tip support 50 is opened by the hinge 49, the gate board 32, the fixed scaffolding 46, the sliding scaffolding 48 and the tip support 50 form a bridge plank between the loading platform 30 and the platform 10.
[0016] In the figure, 52 is a lock pin for fixing the fixed scaffolding 46 in a retracted storage state by sliding it relative to the receiving base 42 and in an extended use state, and 54 is a lock pin for fixing the sliding scaffolding 48 in a retracted storage state by sliding it relative to the fixed scaffolding 46 and in an extended use state.
[0017] 3, the receiving stand 42 is composed of a pair of side plates 42A each having an L-shaped guide groove 43 formed therein, and a connecting plate 42B that connects the side plates 42A. In the figure, 42C denotes a coated wire that connects the lock pin 52 to the side plate 42A to prevent it from being lost. Like the lock pin 52, the lock pin 54 can also be connected to the side plate 42A or the like by a coated wire, for example, to prevent it from being lost.
[0018] As shown in detail in FIG. 4, the clamp 44 is composed of a generally C-shaped main body 44A, an adjuster 44B that is pressed against the gate plate 32, a knob 44C for moving the adjuster 44B, and a spring pin 44D for urging the adjuster 44B in a direction away from the gate plate 32 (upward in the figure).
[0019] The fixed scaffolding 46 is adapted to slide along a guide groove 43 formed in the receiving stand 42. This guide groove 43 is L-shaped and includes a groove 43A parallel to the gate plate 32 and a groove 43B directed outward from the gate plate 32 (downward in FIG. 1(B) and leftward in FIG. 2). Note that the shape of the guide groove 43 is not limited to an L-shape, and the intersection angle between the groove 43A and the groove 43B may be other than 90°, for example, a V-shape.
[0020] The surfaces of the fixed scaffolding 46 and the sliding scaffolding 48 are treated with anti-slip materials such as non-slip braces, and the tip support 50 is made of, for example, a checkered plate.
