Definitions

  • the invention relates to an intermediate bellows structure for use between two covered railway wagons carrying automobiles.
  • the gangways between the wagons are covered using an intermediate bellows with outerdimensions approximately corresponding to the cross section of the wagon.
  • the outer dimensions of the intermediate bellows should thus correspond to the outer dimensions of the wagons, in order both to maintain at a low level the resistance caused by the travel of the train and to avoid excessive loading of the bellows by the flow of air.
  • the intermediate bellows should, especially in combinations of automobile-carrying wagons, be spacious inside, since it should enable automobiles to be driven from one wagon to anothervia the bellows gangway.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an intermediate bellows of this type which at least during the travel of the train is closely connected to both of the successive automobile-carrying wagons. It is also an object of the invention to provide an intermediate bellows of this type which is structurally simple, sturdy and reliable in operation.
  • the most important advantage of the invention is that, when the intermediate bellows structure according to it is used, the passage clearance within it can be made sufficiently large forthe duration of the loading and unloading of automobiles, whereas during the travel of the train the outer dimensions of the bellows can be made to correspond to the outer dimensions of the wagons. It is also an advantage of the invention that the structure is simple and economical in price.
  • the intermediate bellows 1 has been arranged to be capable of being raised during loading, as shown in Figure 2, and of being lowered for the duration of the travel of the train, as shown in Figure 1.
  • This can be implemented in such a manner that the intermediate bellows 1 has rigid frames 2a and 2b at both its end edges, which adjoin different railway wagons 3a and 3b.
  • the rigid sides 4a and 4b of the wagon-body ends, coming against the bellows, are shaped as guides 5 along which the intermediate bellows, by transmission of vertical, parallel connecting members 6 in its rigid frame 2a, 2b, can be slidingly raised and lowered.
  • the sides of the wagon ends have parallel slide rails, and the frame constitutes corresponding parallel counter-rails or a similar structure, enabling the intermediate bellows 1 to be moved up and down.
  • the inner clearance height H of the intermediate bellows 1 is by at least the bellows thickness T greater than the distance between the inner surface of the lowered roof section 11 of the railway wagon and the lower driving deck 15.
  • the intermediate bellows in its lowered position in which the outer surface of the intermediate bellows is at least approximately at the level of the wagon cover 7, extends by distance D below the lower driving deck 15.
  • This distance D between the lower driving deck and the inner surface of the lower section of the bellows is thus at least the said bellows thickness T, but it may be even greater if the space available below the driving deck level between the wagons allows it.
  • the connecting members 6 of the rigid frame 2a and 2b of the intermediate bellows are counter-profiles 8, which grip in the horizontal directions the parallel guide profiles 5 in the ends of the wagon body.
  • the guide profiles 5 can be given a cross-sectional C-shape and the counter-profiles 8 respectively a T-shape, in which case the branches of the T-shape will be inside the C-shape.
  • the shaping may be the reverse or some other profile shape which will prevent the intermediate-bellows frame 2a, 2b from being detached from the sides 4a, 4b of the wagon-body ends, but will allow them to slide in their longitudinal direction.
  • the upper section 9 of the intermediate bellows must be, at least during the travel of the train, below the extension 10 of the roof section 11 of the wagon cover 7, as shown in Figure 3.
  • a tight connection is achieved between the frame 2a and 2b, and thereby the bellows, and the wagon cover also in the area of the roof section 11 and the upper section 9 of the bellows.
  • the raising and lowering of the intermediate bellows and its frame 2a, 2b can be arranged, for example, using drive mechanisms 12 fitted to the side wall structures of the wagon.
  • the drive mechanism 12 may be made up of, for example, wire cables orchains 13 and of pulleys 14 guiding them, and of actuating and locking mechanisms, not shown in the figures, which may be manually or electrically operated cable drums, chain wheels, or the like. Hydraulic or pneumatic raising mechanisms for the intermediate bellows 1 are also conceivable.
