Abstract

A gangway floor for a gangway between a first car of a multi-car vehicle and a second car of said vehicle comprises a first floor panel and a second floor panel, wherein the first floor panel is arranged to rotate about a first axis that does not lie in the plane that the first floor panel lies in, and the second floor panel is arranged to rotate about a second axis that does not lie in the plane that the second floor panel lies in, wherein the first axis is different from the second axis.

Abstract

The invention contains a multi-car vehicle with a first car of the multi-car vehicle and a second car of said vehicle having a connection device having an elongated body suitable for transmitting the pushing force required to push the first car in front of the second car, when the second car is moving, the elongated body having a longitudinal axis, a connection suitable to connect the elongated body to the first car or the second car and suitable to transmit the pushing force from the second car to the elongated body or from the elongated body to the first car, the first car and or the second car having an underframe that comprises at least one longitudinal beam and/or at least one cross beam, whereby the elongated body is arranged approximately at the same vertical level as the longitudinal beam and/or the cross beam and/or is arranged in such a manner that with regard to the vertical direction the elongated body at least partially overlaps with the beam.

Abstract

The invention contains to an assembly of parts suitable to be used as part of a connecting device for connecting a first car of a multi-car vehicle with a second car of said vehicle comprising: a elongated body suitable for transmitting a pulling force required to pull the first car after the second car, when the second car is moving, and/or suitable for transmitting the pushing force required to push the first car in front of the second car, when the second car is moving, the elongated body having a longitudinal axis, a connection suitable to connect the elongated body to the first car or the second car and suitable to transmit the pulling force and/or the pushing force from the second car to the elongated body or from the elongated body to the first car, the connection defining a pivot axis about which the elongated body can pivot relative to other parts of the connection, the pivot axis crossing the elongated body and/or the longitudinal axis, the connection having connecting parts suitable to be connected to the first car, whereby the elongated body is elastically connected to the connecting parts thereby allowing the elongated body to move relative to the connecting parts in the direction of the longitudinal axis whereby a first blocking surface or a first locking member being arranged on the elongated body on one side of the pivot axis, the first blocking surface or first locking means being held distanced from a corresponding blocking surface or a corresponding locking means respectively arranged on the connecting parts in a first operational state and the first blocking surface or the first locking means being in contacted with the corresponding blocking surface or the locking means in a second operational state, when the elongated body has been moved along its longitudinal axis relative to the connecting parts, the contact between the respective blocking surfaces or the contact between the respective locking means blocking a rotation of the elongated body about the pivot axis and a second blocking surface or a second locking member being arranged on the elongated body on the opposite side of the pivot axis relative to the first blocking surface or the first locking means, the second blocking surface or second locking means being held distanced from a corresponding blocking surface or a corresponding locking means respectively arranged on the connecting parts in a first operational state and the second blocking surface or the second locking means being in contacted with the corresponding blocking surface or the locking means in a second operational state, when the elongated body has been moved along its longitudinal axis relative to the connecting parts, the contact between the respective blocking surfaces or the contact between the respective locking means blocking a rotation of the elongated body about the pivot axis.
