Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a special freight railway car, namely for the transportation of road-truck size intermodal containers without exceeding the allowed clearance gauge.
  • the main object to achieve is to permit the transport of a superior load than that presently allowed, moving from the statement that in many cases it is the load volume that has to be maximized, even to the detritment of its mass. It has to be furthermore ponted out that existing railway cars have very different technical features for what concerns carrying capacity, weight and volume, and for this reason they are not on the whole useful to satisfy the needs of a big railway junction, which requires very versatile modular means, having the shortest pre-selection, loading and unloading times, in order to make the costs of these operations the lowest.
  • Patent publications EP 576852 and GB 22909767 discloses railway container cars in which a loading platform, supported by a couple of trucks, comprises a central section which is lower than the end sections. Supports are mounted on the central section, having respective reference and clamping pegs for the containers, the supports being arrangeable in a lifted position in which the pegs are substantially at the level of the end sections, thus being fit to engage with respective containers placed thereon, and in a leaned position, in which the placement of a single container on said central section is allowed.
  • These cars can transport the containers above two different, alternative, loading planes, the lower section allowing the placement of higher containers.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a railway car of the above mentioned kind, having a even improved loading versatility.
  • the swinging supports permit the loading level to be raised up to the end section height, a single loading plane being available at the reference height of about 1100 mm for other loading combinations (e.g. for the contemporaneous transport of two lower containers).
  • a railway car comprises two trucks 1 supporting a platform 2 which is formed by three sections 2a, 2b and 2c, the central one 2c being lower than the end ones 2a and 2b.
  • Swinging supports 4 are mounted along the longitudinal edges 3 of platform 2.
  • Supports 4 can be displaced in different working positions along the platform, and each of them can be placed in a lifted position, substantially perpendicular to the platform, as shown in figure 2, or in a leaned position as shown in figure 1, to allow the transport of containers C using respectively a higher loading plane, as shown in figure 2, or a lower one as shown in figure 1.
  • Reference and clamping pegs 5 and 6, schematically represented in the drawings, are provided on supports 4, to block the containers on platform 2.
  • Other reference and clamping pegs 7 of a conventional type are provided at the edges of the high end sections 2a and 2b of the platform.
  • a swinging support 4 is shown in further detail in figures 3, 4, 5 and 6.
  • the support comprises a body 8, mounted on wheels 9 rolling along tracks 10 formed on the longitudinal edge 3 of platform 2 in its central section 2c.
  • a cylindrical, variable section shaft 11 outwardly extends, a cylindrical sleeve 12 pivotally engaging with the end part thereof.
  • Sleeve 12 is formed by a main body 12a and by a central disk-shaped flange 12b, eccentric with respect to the axis of body 12a, which turnably engages within a cylindrical bush 13, integrally mounted on an arm 14.
  • An operating lever 21 also engages with sleeve 12 at the external end thereof.
  • Two handles 15 are formed on arm 14 to operate its displacement, and from its free end 14a reference peg 6 protrudes, while two locking pins 16 and 17 extend respectively from an intermediate face 14b and from the other end 14c of arm 14 to block it with respect to edge 3.
  • Locking pins 16 e 17 engage with corresponding seats 18 and 19 formed respectively in plates 3a and 3b, welded along edge 3.
  • a further locking pin 20 is provided at one side of arm 14 to engage with the same seat 19 when arm 14 is in its leaned position.
  • a revolving element 22 is hinged, bearing reference peg 5 and a locking pin 23, engaging with seat 18 as well, to block arm 14 when it is in the leaned position.
  • Arm 14 can be angularly displaced by way of handles 15, until the turning of lever 21, in an opposite direction than that above mentioned, driving the arm down once again, allows pin 20 to enter seat 19 to block the support in its leaned position, as shown in figures 4 and 5.
  • Element 22 is then revolved on edge 3 to place peg 5 and contemporaneously engage pin 23 with seat 18.
  • the support comprises a tubular shaped body 24, having a quadrilateral transversal section, mounted on wheels 25 rolling along tracks 26 formed on edge 3 of lower section 2c of platform 2. From body 24 two parallel fins 24a outwardly project, the free ends of which support a pin 27, parallel to the car longitudinal axis.
  • Two elongated through slots 29 are formed on the vertical sides 28a of an arm 28, having substantially the shape of a parallelepiped box. At the ends of slots 29, in which pin 27 inserts with a certain clearance, respective undercuts are formed, giving each slot a substantially U-shaped outline.
  • a square-shaped projecting element 28b, in which two handles 30 are formed, is provided in correspondence of the free end of arm 28, on the external surface of which two pegs 5 and 6 are furthermore provided, for the reference and the clamping of the containers.
  • Pegs 5 and 6 extend respectively from an external face 28c of element 28b and from a face 28b of the free end of arm 28.
  • pins 31, 32, 33 and 34 protrude respectively from internal face 28e, opposite to face 28c, of element 28b, from an intermediate face 28f of arm 28, from its end face 28g, opposite to face 28d, and from a longitudinal face 28h, parallel to face 28c.
  • Pins 31, 32, 33 and 34 are engageable in the following way, to block the arm in the two above mentioned positions.
  • Pins 32 and 33 respectively engage with seats 35 and 36, formed in plates 3c and 3d welded along edge 3, when arm 28 is in its lifted position (figure 7), while when the arm is in its leaned position, the same seats house pins 31 and 34 (figure 8).
  • Seats 37 are furthermore formed on edge 3 of platform 2, so that tubular body 24 can be placed substantially coaxially in correspondence thereof.
  • the railway car according to the present invention can get various load combinations, i.e. it can take intermodal containers of different lengths.
  • two or three seats 18 and 19 can be provided on each plate 3a and 3b to allow the regulation of the position of supports 4 according to the size of the commonly used containers.
