Abstract

A device for coupling the roof area of two articulated vehicle parts, for limiting the roll and/or pitch movements of the vehicle parts relative to each other. The device includes at least two consoles. At least one console is disposed on the roof area of a first vehicle part. The at least two consoles are connected to each other by a coupling arm. At least one of the consoles includes a leaf spring.

Abstract

The subject of the invention is a wall cover on the inner side of a bellows of a transfer between two pivotably interconnected vehicles, wherein the side wall cover is held by two holding devices, wherein each holding device is arranged at the body of a vehicle and wherein the holding device receives the side wall cover to be able to be rolled up when the length of the side wall cover shortens during travel around a curve.

Abstract

The subject of the invention is a corrugation bellows of a transfer between two vehicles which are articulated together, comprising a plurality of corrugations which are U-shaped in cross-section, wherein two adjacent corrugations are connected together by a frame, wherein the corrugation of U-shaped cross-section has two limbs as well as a web connecting the limbs, wherein the material thickness of the web is greater than the material thickness of the limbs, wherein the material of web and limbs is identical and wherein the web is of substantially planar construction so that the limbs and the web extend at right angles to one another in a substantially neutral setting of the bellows.

Abstract

A device is provided for covering the sides of a spacing (4) between two vehicles coupled with each other, in particular rail cars (1, 2). The device has two side walls (10) running parallel to each other that deform at least in the longitudinal direction of travel. The side walls (10) are connected to each other in the upper and lower regions by braces (12). The braces (12) are connected to each other, so that they can move relative to each other, in the longitudinal direction of the travel by at least one accordion-like material strip (20).

Abstract

The invention is directed to two coupled vehicles (1) such as railbound vehicles or articulated busses, with a connection with at least one bellows (2) as well as with a coupling device comprising two coupling frames (4, 5), said coupling frames (4, 5) comprising interengaging male and female coupling members (10, 15), a locking member (30) being provided for respectively locking the male coupling members (15) in the female coupling members (10), said locking member (30) being slidably guided by the respective locking member (4, 5), said locking member (30) communicating with a force transmitting member (9) that is slidably guided in the respective one of the coupling frames (4, 5), the force transmitting member (9) transmitting both tensile and shear forces.
