L'invention trouvera principalement son application dans le domaine de la coordination technique rail-route également connue sous le nom de ferroutage.The invention will mainly find its application in the field of rail-road technical coordination also known as piggybacking.

Il s'agira principalement de permettre le positionnement sur un wagon d'un semi-remorque de camion, le transport de semi-remorque pouvant être effectué sans la cabine.This will mainly allow the positioning on a wagon of a truck semi-trailer, the transport of semi-trailer can be done without the cabin.

On connaît un certain nombre de techniques permettant la mise en position d'une semi-remorque sur un wagon avec ou sans cabine.A number of techniques are known for placing a semitrailer in position on a wagon with or without a cabin.

On connaît ainsi par exemple un premier type de réalisation dans lequel l'ensemble du camion vient se positionner sur le wagon en faisant rouler le camion sur une rampe d'accès amenant le camion au niveau de la partie supérieure du bogie.Thus, for example, a first type of embodiment in which the entire truck is positioned on the wagon by rolling the truck on an access ramp bringing the truck at the top of the truck.

Cette technique présente différents inconvénients et notamment, nécessite tant lors de la mise en place que de l'enlèvement de la semi-remorque du bogie, l'emploi de la cabine ce qui est préjudiciable d'une part parce que cela immobilise la cabine et d'autre part parce que la place prise par la cabine diminue d'autant le volume de chargement utile.This technique has various drawbacks and in particular, requires both during installation and removal of the truck semi-trailer, the use of the cabin which is detrimental on the one hand because it immobilizes the cabin and on the other hand because the space taken by the cabin reduces the amount of useful cargo accordingly.

Enfin, cette technique ne permet pas le transport sur des lignes de gabarit de fret classique.Finally, this technique does not allow transport on lines of standard cargo gauge.

On connaît également du document EP-0.619.211 , un système de ferroutage consistant en l'utilisation d'un wagon à nacelle, la nacelle étant mobile et déplaçable au niveau du sol pour permettre la dépose de la semi-remorque sur la nacelle, l'ensemble étant ensuite repositionné sur le wagon.Document is also known EP-0619211 , a piggyback system consisting of the use of a nacelle wagon, the nacelle being movable and movable at ground level to allow removal of the semi-trailer on the nacelle, the assembly then being repositioned on the wagon.

  • la nécessité de déplacer l'ensemble nacelle/semi-remorque pour le positionner sur le wagon alors même que la semi-remorque n'est pas complètement calée et notamment, avec les béquilles abaissées, ce qui d'une part peut provoquer des problèmes de stabilité au niveau de la semi-remorque et, d'autre part, peut entraîner des casses desdites béquilles,
  • la nécessité de réaliser des opérations manuelles sur le wagon pour permettre l'assujettissement de la semi-remorque au wagon.
This technique has various disadvantages among which:
  • the obligation to introduce the semi-trailer onto the platform by reversing the truck,
  • the need to move the nacelle / semitrailer assembly to position it on the wagon even when the semi-trailer is not completely wedged and in particular, with the crutches lowered, which on the one hand can cause problems of stability at the level of the semitrailer and, secondly, can cause breakage of said crutches,
  • the need to carry out manual operations on the wagon to enable the semitrailer to be secured to the wagon.

La présente invention se situe dans le domaine technique des wagons à nacelle.The present invention is in the technical field of nacelle wagons.

En se reportant à la figure 2, on voit que ces moyens de réglage 14 comportent un vérin 15 disposé au niveau de la partie centrale 10 et des moyens de verrouillage/déverrouillage 16 permettant de bloquer ou de débloquer le vérin à une position donnée.Referring to Figure 2, we see that these adjustment means 14 comprise a jack 15 disposed at the central portion 10 and locking / unlocking means 16 for locking or unlocking the cylinder at a given position.

On voit également en se reportant à la figure 1 que le dispositif de fixation 1 comporte également au niveau du premier élément de calage 2 des moyens de manutention 17.It will also be seen with reference to FIG. 1 that the fixing device 1 also comprises, at the level of the first wedging element 2, handling means 17.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation des figures 1 à 8, ces moyens de manutention 17 sont aptes à permettre le déplacement de l'élément de calage 2 par des chariots élévateurs à fourche.In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 8, these handling means 17 are adapted to allow the displacement of the wedging element 2 by forklifts.

Bien entendu, d'autres modes de réalisation des moyens de manutention 17 pourraient également être envisagés en fonction du type de chariot ou similaire utilisé pour la manutention de l'élément de calage 2.Of course, other embodiments of the handling means 17 could also be envisaged depending on the type of carriage or the like used for handling the wedging element 2.

On voit également en se reportant indifféremment aux figures 1 et 2 que le dispositif de fixation 1 comporte des moyens d'assujettissement 5 permettant la fixation relative des deux éléments 2 et 3.It is also seen by referring indifferently to Figures 1 and 2 that the fastening device 1 comprises securing means 5 for relative fixing of the two elements 2 and 3.

De manière avantageuse, ces moyens d'assujettissement 5 sont constitués du socle 9 de l'élément de calage 2 dont les dimensions permettent un encastrement dans l'élément porteur 3 et d'un sabot de verrouillage 18 dont la tige en position basse vient s'insérer dans un trou ménagé au niveau de la surface inférieure de l'élément porteur 3.Advantageously, these securing means 5 consist of the base 9 of the wedging element 2 whose dimensions allow a recess in the carrier element 3 and a locking shoe 18 whose stem in the lowered position insert into a hole in the surface lower part of the carrier element 3.

Le sabot de verrouillage 18 permet ainsi un verrouillage en translation de la position relative des deux éléments 2,3.The locking shoe 18 thus allows locking in translation of the relative position of the two elements 2,3.

On voit également dans la figure 1 des moyens de commande 19 du sabot 18, ces moyens de commande 19 étant déportés au niveau de la traverse 11 de façon à permettre un déverrouillage du sabot 18 même lorsque le dispositif de fixation 1 est sur la nacelle 4 avec la semi-remorque 8 calée.FIG. 1 also shows control means 19 for the shoe 18, these control means 19 being deported at the cross-member 11 so as to enable the shoe 18 to be unlocked even when the fastening device 1 is on the platform 4 with the semi-trailer 8 set.

En se reportant cette fois à la figure 3, on voit que la nacelle 4 comporte un fond 20 et deux bords latéraux 21.Referring this time to FIG. 3, it can be seen that the nacelle 4 comprises a bottom 20 and two lateral edges 21.

De manière avantageuse, la nacelle 4 pourra également comporter au moins une courte rampe 23 placée à chaque extrémité de la nacelle 4 et facilitant la montée et la descente du camion portant la semi-remorque 8.Advantageously, the nacelle 4 may also include at least one short ramp 23 placed at each end of the nacelle 4 and facilitating the rise and descent of the truck carrying the semitrailer 8.

On voit également que la nacelle 4 comporte des moyens d'accrochage avant 24 et arrière 25 aptes à permettre le soulèvement de ladite nacelle 4.It can also be seen that the nacelle 4 comprises front and rear attachment means 25 able to allow the lifting of said nacelle 4.

Avantageusement, ces moyens d'accrochage 24,25 sont constitués par des oreilles 25.Advantageously, these attachment means 24,25 are constituted by ears 25.

En se reportant cette fois à la figure 7, on voit que les moyens d'accrochage avant 24 et arrière 25 coopèrent avec des moyens de réception 26 arrière ménagés au niveau du wagon.Referring this time to Figure 7, we see that the front 24 and rear hooking means 25 cooperate with rear receiving means 26 formed at the wagon.

Il est important de noter qu'à l'avant, ces moyens de réception 26 coopérant avec la traverse 11 de l'élément de calage 2.It is important to note that at the front, these receiving means 26 cooperating with the crosspiece 11 of the wedging element 2.

On pourra également prévoir que les moyens de réception 26 arrière ne coopèrent qu'avec les moyens d'accrochage arrière 25, les moyens d'accrochage avant 24 n'étant utilisés que pour le soulèvement de la nacelle 4.It can also be provided that the rear receiving means 26 cooperate only with the rear hooking means 25, the front hooking means 24 being used only for lifting the platform 4.

En cas d'utilisation également des moyens d'accrochage avant 24 pour le calage de la nacelle 4 sur le wagon 12, on prévoira un système à ressort au niveau des moyens de réception 26 correspondants permettant une répartition de la charge de la nacelle 4 régulière sur les différents appuis avant et arrière.If also use of the attachment means before 24 for the wedging of the platform 4 on the wagon 12, there will be provided a spring system at the corresponding receiving means 26 for a distribution of the load of the nacelle 4 regular on the different front and rear supports.

En se reportant cette fois aux figures 4 à 8, on va maintenant détailler les différentes étapes de chargement de la semi-remorque 8 sur le wagon 12.Referring this time to Figures 4 to 8, we will now detail the different stages of loading of the semitrailer 8 on the car 12.

Dans une première étape, on vient poser la nacelle 4 au sol et on vient avantageusement disposer la semi-remorque 8 béquilles abaissées sur ladite nacelle 4.In a first step, the platform 4 is placed on the ground and it is advantageous to have the semitrailer 8 crutches lowered on said nacelle 4.

A cet effet, on vient simplement faire rouler le camion sur la nacelle en marche avant, le camion étant arrêtée de façon à ce que l'attelage 8 soit sensiblement à l'aplomb de l'élément porteur 3, tel que représenté à la figure 8.For this purpose, the truck is simply rolled on the platform in forward movement, the truck being stopped so that the hitch 8 is substantially in line with the carrier element 3, as shown in FIG. 8.

On vient ensuite détacher la cabine du camion après avoir abaissé les béquilles de la remorque 8.We then come to detach the cabin of the truck after lowering the crutches of the trailer 8.

Une fois la cabine dételée et sortie de la zone de manutention, on vient amener au moyen d'un chariot, non représenté dans les dessins annexés, l'élément de calage 2 après avoir préalablement effectué un premier réglage de la hauteur des moyens de bridage 6 en fonction des dimensions de la semi-remorque.Once the car uncoupled and out of the handling area, is brought by means of a carriage, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the wedging element 2 after having first made a first adjustment of the height of the clamping means 6 depending on the dimensions of the semi-trailer.

On réalise ensuite l'accrochage entre les moyens de bridage 6 de l'élément de calage 2 et l'attelage 7 de la semi-remorque 8.The hooking device 6 is then engaged between the clamping element 2 and the hitch 7 of the semi-trailer 8.

Une fois cette opération effectuée, on réalise l'assujettissement entre l'élément de calage 2 et l'élément porteur 3.Once this operation is carried out, the fastening is carried out between the wedging element 2 and the carrier element 3.

A ce stade, on peut également réaliser une étape supplémentaire de réglage à l'aide des moyens de réglage 14 précités, ce réglage étant plus fin que le premier exercé.At this stage, it is also possible to perform an additional adjustment step using the aforementioned adjustment means 14, this adjustment being finer than the first exercised.

Il permet de régler l'horizontalité de la semi-remorque par rapport à la nacelle.It makes it possible to adjust the horizontality of the semi-trailer with respect to the nacelle.

Les moyens de réglage seront ensuite bloqués dans une position déterminée de façon à empêcher tout desserrage.The adjustment means will then be locked in a determined position so as to prevent any loosening.

A ce stade, le calage de la semi-remorque 8 dans la nacelle 4 est assuré par le dispositif de fixation 1.At this stage, the setting of the semitrailer 8 in the nacelle 4 is provided by the fixing device 1.

On se trouve à cet instant dans une étape correspondant à celle représentée à la figure 5.We are at this moment in a step corresponding to that shown in Figure 5.

Notons qu'à ce niveau, on a déjà pu relever les béquilles 27 de la semi-remorque 8.Note that at this level, it has already been able to raise the crutches 27 of the semi-trailer 8.

Toutes les opérations de calage de la semi-remorque 8 ont donc été effectuées au sol et le soulèvement de l'ensemble nacelle 4/semi remorque 8 se fait en toute sécurité sans risque de déstabilisation de la semi-remorque 8, de décrochage ou encore de casse au niveau des béquilles 27.All the rigging operations of the semi-trailer 8 have therefore been carried out on the ground and the lifting of the pod nacelle 4 / semi-trailer 8 is done safely without risk of destabilization of the semi-trailer 8, stall or breaking on crutches 27.

On voit dans la figure 6 représentée schématiquement l'opération de soulèvement et dépose de la nacelle 4 dans le wagon 12.FIG. 6 shows diagrammatically the lifting operation and removal of the nacelle 4 in the wagon 12.

Cette opération est réalisée à partir de dispositifs connus de l'homme de l'art et classiquement utilisés pour supporter les charges.This operation is performed from devices known to those skilled in the art and conventionally used to support the loads.

L'ensemble est déposé dans le wagon en respectant le sens de la nacelle 4 dans ledit wagon 12.The assembly is deposited in the wagon respecting the direction of the nacelle 4 in said wagon 12.

Les moyens de réception 26 prévus au niveau du wagon 12 permettent dans un premier temps le guidage de la nacelle 4 et dans un second temps son calage.The receiving means 26 provided at the level of the wagon 12 allow in a first time the guiding of the nacelle 4 and in a second time its wedging.

Les étapes du procédé de chargement peuvent donc être résumées dans :

  • une étape de placement de la semi-remorque 8 sur la nacelle disposée au sol avec les béquilles 27 abaissées sur le sol,
  • une étape de placement de l'élément de calage 2 sur l'attelage 7 permettant le bridage de la semi-remorque,
  • une étape de relèvement des béquilles,
  • une étape d'assujettissement entre l'élément de calage 2 et l'élément porteur permettant le calage de la semi-remorque 8 dans la nacelle 4 et
  • une étape de soulèvement de la nacelle 4 et de dépose dans le wagon 12.
The steps of the loading process can therefore be summarized in:
  • a step of placing the semitrailer 8 on the nacelle disposed on the ground with the crutches 27 lowered on the ground,
  • a step of placing the wedging element 2 on the hitch 7 allowing the clamping of the semi-trailer,
  • a step of raising the crutches,
  • a securing step between the wedging element 2 and the support element allowing the setting of the semitrailer 8 in the nacelle 4 and
  • a lifting step of the nacelle 4 and removal in the wagon 12.

Les opérations de déchargement de la semi-remorque 8 s'effectueront exactement de manière inverse à celles décrites pour le chargement.The unloading operations of the semi-trailer 8 will be exactly the reverse of those described for loading.

Il est également important de noter que des opérations préalables pourront être nécessaires avant le chargement de manière à s'assurer que la semi-remorque est bien adaptée à la nacelle 4. Il faudra également vérifier la conformité des dimensions de la semi-remorque et du gabarit de la voie sur laquelle circulera le wagon 12.It is also important to note that prior operations may be necessary before loading in order to ensure that the semi-trailer is well adapted to the nacelle 4. It will also be necessary to check the conformity of the dimensions of the semi-trailer and the gauge of the lane on which the wagon will circulate 12.

Des opérations supplémentaires pourront être également effectuées et notamment, le dégonflage des suspensions de la semi-remorque 8 et le desserrage des freins.Additional operations may also be performed and in particular, the deflation of the suspensions of the semi-trailer 8 and the release of the brakes.

Second mode de réalisationSecond embodiment

En se reportant cette fois aux figures 9 à 13, on voit représenté un second mode de réalisation de l'invention.Referring now to Figures 9 to 13, there is shown a second embodiment of the invention.

On voit également dans ce second mode de réalisation, un dispositif de fixation 1 comprenant un premier élément détachable 2 dit élément de calage et un élément porteur 3.We also see in this second embodiment, a fixing device 1 comprising a first detachable element 2 said wedging element and a carrier element 3.

Dans l'exemple des figures 9 à 13, l'élément porteur 3 sera complètement intégré à la nacelle 4 ; toutefois, il est également envisageable que cet élément porteur 3 soit constitué d'une pièce rapportée sur la nacelle 4 et solidarisée à cette dernière.In the example of FIGS. 9 to 13, the carrier element 3 will be completely integrated with the nacelle 4; however, it is also conceivable that this carrier element 3 consists of an insert on the nacelle 4 and secured to the latter.

Ce dispositif de fixation 1 comporte également des moyens d'assujettissement 5 entre l'élément de calage 2 et l'élément porteur 3.This fixing device 1 also comprises securing means 5 between the wedging element 2 and the carrier element 3.

On retrouve également, pour le dispositif de fixation 1, des moyens de bridage 6 de l'attelage 7 de la semi-remorque 8, les moyens de bridage étant aptes à assurer le calage de la semi-remorque 8 sur la nacelle 4.There is also, for the fixing device 1, clamping means 6 of the hitch 7 of the semi-trailer 8, the clamping means being adapted to ensure the setting of the semi-trailer 8 on the nacelle 4.

De la même manière que pour le premier mode de réalisation, le bridage et toutes les opérations de fixation de la semi-remorque sur la nacelle seront réalisés avantageusement au niveau du sol.In the same way as for the first embodiment, the clamping and all fixing operations of the semitrailer on the nacelle will advantageously be made at ground level.

En se reportant principalement à la figure 1, on voit que l'élément de calage 2 comporte une traverse 28 de section en U sur laquelle reposent les moyens de bridage 6 de l'attelage 7.Referring mainly to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the wedging element 2 comprises a cross-member 28 of U-section on which the clamping means 6 of the hitch 7 rest.

En se reportant cette fois plus particulièrement aux figures 11 et 12, on voit que l'élément porteur 3 comprend une crémaillère 29 disposée au niveau de la partie supérieure 30 de chaque bord latéral 21 de la nacelle 4.Referring this time more particularly to FIGS. 11 and 12, it can be seen that the carrier element 3 comprises a rack 29 disposed at the level of the upper part 30 of each lateral edge 21 of the nacelle 4.

Les moyens d'assujettissement 5 entre l'élément de calage 2 et l'élément de porteur 3 comprennent des piges 31.The securing means 5 between the wedging element 2 and the carrier element 3 comprise pins 31.

De manière avantageuse, les piges 31 sont munies d'extrémités flasquées permettant d'éviter un retrait hors des crans 34 en cas de fléchissement de la traverse 28 en U.Advantageously, the rods 31 are provided with flanged ends to avoid a withdrawal out of the notches 34 in case of deflection of the cross 28 in U.

Ces piges 31 traversent des perforations 32 ménagées dans les branches 33 de la traverse 28 de section en U, les extrémités de ces piges 31 coopèrent avec les crans 34 des crémaillères 29.These rods 31 pass through perforations 32 formed in the branches 33 of crosspiece 28 of U-section, the ends of these rods 31 cooperate with the notches 34 of the racks 29.

On voit ainsi que l'assujettissement entre l'élément de calage 2 et l'élément porteur 3 est réalisé en venant déplacer l'élément de calage 2 de sorte que les piges 31 soient placées à l'aplomb des crans 34 de l'élément porteur 3, puis en venant ensuite déposer l'ensemble élément de calage 2 et piges 31 sur l'élément porteur 3.It is thus seen that the securing between the wedging element 2 and the carrier element 3 is achieved by moving the wedging element 2 so that the pins 31 are placed in line with the notches 34 of the element carrier 3, then in then depositing the set of wedging element 2 and pins 31 on the carrier element 3.

Le déplacement de l'élément de calage 2 pourra être effectué par des moyens conventionnels connus de l'homme de métier ; on pourra notamment envisager pour le déplacement de l'élément de calage 2 l'utilisation d'un chariot élévateur à fourche.The displacement of the wedging element 2 may be effected by conventional means known to those skilled in the art; it will be possible in particular to consider for the displacement of the wedging element 2 the use of a forklift truck.

En se reportant aux figures 11 et 12, on voit que l'élément de calage 2 comporte des moyens de réglage 14 en hauteur de la position des moyens de bridage 6.Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, it can be seen that the wedging element 2 comprises adjustment means 14 in height of the position of the clamping means 6.

Ces moyens de réglage 14 sont constitués d'au moins deux rangées 35 horizontales des perforations 32.These adjustment means 14 consist of at least two horizontal rows of the perforations 32.

Ces rangées 35 sont réalisées sur chaque branche 33 de la traverse 28 de section en U.These rows 35 are formed on each branch 33 of the transom 28 of U section.

Chaque rangée 35 permet de positionner les moyens de bridage 6 à une hauteur différente.Each row 35 makes it possible to position the clamping means 6 at a different height.

En effet, en se reportant à la figure 11, on voit les piges 31 qui sont positionnées sur la rangée 35 la plus haute et, de ce fait, la hauteur des moyens de bridage 6 par rapport au sol est minimale.Indeed, referring to Figure 11, we see the rods 31 which are positioned on the highest row 35 and, as a result, the height of the clamping means 6 relative to the ground is minimal.

Dans la figure 12, on voit que les piges 31 sont disposées sur la rangée 35 la plus basse permettant de positionner les moyens de bridage 6 dans la position la plus élevée.In FIG. 12, it can be seen that the rods 31 are arranged on the lowest row 35 making it possible to position the clamping means 6 in the highest position.

Comme représenté dans les dessins des figures 9 à 13 annexés, il sera avantageux de prévoir un nombre élevé de rangées parallèles 35 permettant d'obtenir de nombreux niveaux de réglage en hauteur des moyens de bridage 6.As shown in the drawings of Figures 9 to 13 attached, it will be advantageous to provide a large number of parallel rows 35 to obtain many levels of height adjustment of the clamping means 6.

De préférence, comme représentées aux figures 9 à 13, ces perforations 32 formeront un crible, les trous étant percés en quinconce de manière à rapprocher les rangées 35 entre elles et à permettre un réglage des moyens de bridage 6 en hauteur avec un pas faible et notamment, de l'ordre de trente millimètres.Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, these perforations 32 will form a screen, the holes being staggered so as to bring the rows 35 closer together and to allow adjustment of the clamping means 6 in height with a small pitch and in particular, of the order of thirty millimeters.

On voit également que chaque crémaillère 29 s'étend sur tout ou partie de la longueur de la nacelle 4.We also see that each rack 29 extends over all or part of the length of the nacelle 4.

Cette caractéristique permet un réglage de la position horizontale du dispositif de fixation 1 le long des bords 21 de la nacelle 4.This feature allows an adjustment of the horizontal position of the fastening device 1 along the edges 21 of the nacelle 4.

En se reportant à la figure 9, on voit ainsi que l'élément de calage 2 est positionné à une extrémité de la nacelle 4, c'est-à-dire sur les derniers crans 34 de chaque crémaillère 29 alors que sur la figure 10, on voit que l'élément de calage 2 est positionné à l'autre extrémité de chaque crémaillère 29.Referring to FIG. 9, it can thus be seen that the wedging element 2 is positioned at one end of the nacelle 4, that is to say on the last notches 34 of each rack 29 whereas in FIG. 10 it can be seen that the wedging element 2 is positioned at the other end of each rack 29.

A titre d'exemple, de façon à permettre un réglage fin de l'élément de calage 2 le long de la nacelle 4, on prévoira un écartement de l'ordre de cinquante millimètres entre les crans 34.For example, so as to allow a fine adjustment of the wedging element 2 along the nacelle 4, there will be a spacing of about fifty millimeters between the notches 34.

Les piges filetées 31 venant s'insérer dans les crans 34 seront dimensionnées en conséquence.The threaded rods 31 coming into the notches 34 will be dimensioned accordingly.

Il est à noter à ce niveau que, selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la partie supérieure des crans 34 est biseautée de sorte que la pose des piges 31 sur le sommet des crans 34 entraîne ces dernières dans le fond des crans 34.It should be noted at this level that, according to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the upper portion of the notches 34 is beveled so that the installation of pins 31 on the top of the notches 34 causes the latter in the bottom of the notches 34.

En se reportant cette fois à la figure 13, on voit que le dispositif de fixation 1, porté par la partie supérieure 30 de chaque bord 21, ainsi que la forme particulière de l'élément de calage 2 permettent de placer l'ensemble du dispositif de fixation 1 au dessus des bogies ou au-delà de l'espace séparant deux bogies.Referring now to FIG. 13, it can be seen that the fixing device 1, carried by the upper part 30 of each edge 21, as well as the particular shape of the wedging element 2 make it possible to place the entire device 1 above the bogies or beyond the space between two bogies.

Cette caractéristique est particulièrement avantageuse puisqu'elle permet, comme représenté à la figure 13, d'avoir une semi-remorque en débordement par rapport au wagon.This feature is particularly advantageous since it allows, as shown in Figure 13, to have an overflowing semitrailer relative to the wagon.

Il n'y a donc plus correspondance comme dans le premier mode de réalisation entre l'espace longitudinal desdits wagons et l'espace longitudinal dédié à la charge payante.There is therefore no correspondence as in the first embodiment between the longitudinal space of said cars and the longitudinal space dedicated to the payload.

Cette caractéristique est particulièrement intéressante puisqu'elle permet de mieux répartir la charge par essieux autorisant soit l'emploi d'essieux de plus faible capacité, soit permettant une longévité plus importante desdits essieux.This feature is particularly interesting since it allows to better distribute the load by axles allowing either the use of axles of lower capacity, or allowing greater longevity of said axles.

Il est important de noter que les wagons assemblés entre eux seront connectés selon une connexion semi-permanente.It is important to note that wagons assembled together will be connected on a semi-permanent connection.

Ainsi, en fonction de la taille de la semi-remorque 8, on déplacera l'élément articulé 2 d'une position à une autre de la crémaillère 29.Thus, depending on the size of the semi-trailer 8, the articulated element 2 will be moved from one position to another of the rack 29.

Plus précisément, plus la semi-remorque sera longue, plus l'élément de calage 2 sera disposé au niveau de l'extrémité de la nacelle 4.More precisely, the longer the semitrailer, the more the wedging element 2 will be placed at the end of the nacelle 4.

Bien entendu, ce réglage sera fait avant chaque chargement en fonction de la taille de la semi-remorque 8.Of course, this adjustment will be made before each loading depending on the size of the semi-trailer 8.

De même, on adaptera les moyens de réglage en hauteur 14 en fonction des caractéristiques de la semi-remorque en introduisant les piges 31 dans la rangée 35 correspondant à la hauteur mesurée.Similarly, the height adjustment means 14 will be adapted according to the characteristics of the semi-trailer by introducing the rods 31 in the row 35 corresponding to the measured height.

La nacelle 4 ainsi constituée avec le dispositif de fixation 1 selon le second mode de réalisation permet de recevoir des semi-remorques bidem ou tridem d'empâtement variable et notamment, de 5,50 mètres à 8,150 mètres et dont la hauteur efficace de sellette variable pourra aller de 840 à 1180 millimètres en référence contact bitume avec une suspension pneumatique du semi-remorque affaissé de 70 millimètres.The nacelle 4 thus formed with the fixing device 1 according to the second embodiment makes it possible to receive bidem or tridem semi-trailers of variable impasto and in particular, from 5.50 meters to 8,150 meters and whose effective height variable saddle can go from 840 to 1180 millimeters in reference bitumen contact with a pneumatic suspension of the collapsed semitrailer of 70 millimeters.

Les étapes du procédé de chargement se font de manière analogue à celles décrites dans le premier mode de réalisation après avoir toutefois préalablement vérifié la hauteur de l'attelage de la semi-remorque de manière à positionner les piges 31 dans la bonne rangée de perforations 32.The steps of the loading method are similar to those described in the first embodiment after having previously verified the height of the hitch of the semi-trailer so as to position the rods 31 in the right row of perforations 32 .

Il est également important de noter que, pour limiter la hauteur de l'ensemble semi-remorque/wagon et notamment, en vue de respecter dans les parties hautes le gabarit, on prévoira que les lanières résistantes prévues au niveau du fond de la nacelle soient positionnées de sorte que les roues de la semi-remorque 8, quel que soit l'empattement parmi les empattements existant au niveau des semi-remorques bidem ou tridem soient positionnées entre lesdites lanières.It is also important to note that, in order to limit the height of the semitrailer / wagon assembly and in particular, in order to respect in the upper parts the size, it will be provided that the resistant strips provided at the bottom of the platform are positioned so that the wheels of the semitrailer 8, regardless of the wheelbase among the wheelbases existing at bidem or tridem semi-trailers are positioned between said straps.

Il est également à noter que l'on prévoit des moyens d'accrochage avant et arrière aptes à permettre le soulèvement de la nacelle 4 ; ces moyens d'accrochage 24 sont avantageusement constitués par des oreilles et pourront notamment être similaires à ceux détaillés dans le premier mode de réalisation.It should also be noted that there are provided front and rear attachment means capable of allowing the lifting of the platform 4; these attachment means 24 are advantageously constituted by ears and may in particular be similar to those detailed in the first embodiment.

Bien entendu, d'autres modes de réalisation à la portée de l'homme auraient pu être envisagés sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendications ci-après.Of course, other embodiments within the reach of man could have been envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims below.
