DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a hood cloth constituting a connecting hood for a railway vehicle. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a sheet having elasticity, which is formed into a plate by using an elastic material such as a soft synthetic resin or synthetic rubber. Is formed. This sheet 1 can expand and contract in all directions.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a stretchable fabric, which is a knitted fabric in which yarns 3 are knitted in a loop and stitches 4 are connected.
When a load is applied to the cloth 2 in all directions, the yarn 3 in the loop portion is deformed as shown in FIG. 1 (b) and the cloth 2 is elongated, and the load is reduced. Figure 1 when it disappears
As shown in (a), the thread 3 returns to a loop shape and the cloth 2 is reduced. In FIG. 1, the actual cross-sectional shape of the knitted fabric 2 is omitted and simplified, and only one loop-shaped fiber is shown.

The yarn 3 of the cloth 2 uses a synthetic fiber.
Further, as the synthetic fibers, vinylon fibers, nylon fibers, polyester fibers, and polyamide fibers may be used. Further, it is more preferable to use high-performance and high-performance fibers such as para-aramid fibers, meta-aramid fibers, wholly aromatic polyester fibers, and high-strength polyethylene fibers.
The high-performance fibers refer to fibers having excellent special functions such as durability, chemical resistance, and optical or electrical properties. The high-performance fiber refers to a fiber having a strength and an elastic modulus several steps higher than those of ordinary synthetic fibers, and generally refers to a fiber having a strength of 20 g / d or more and an elastic modulus of 500 g / d or more.

Then, an elastic soft adhesive 5 is applied to the surface of the sheet 1 and the cloth 2 is bonded and fixed by the adhesive 5 to form a composite sheet. As the adhesive 5, for example, an elastic rubber adhesive is used.

The bonding is performed by using a cloth 2 made of knitted fabric.
Only the yarn 3 on the surface portion on the bonding side of the above is bonded.

Next, a soft coating material is applied to the surface of the yarn 3 of the cloth 2 by coating or the like so as not to fill the stitch 4 formed by the yarn 3 to form a coating 6 on the surface of the yarn 3. . As the soft film material, a soft rubber or a soft synthetic resin having elasticity (stretchability), light resistance, and coloring properties is used.

Since the film 6 is attached without filling the stitches 4 as described above, the stretching action of the sheet 1 and the cloth 2 is not hindered. In addition, the function and performance of high-performance fibers and high-performance fibers are improved by the coating 6, and furthermore, light resistance,
In the case of fibers with poor abrasion resistance and bending fatigue resistance,
The coating 6 reinforces these properties. Further, in the case of aramid fibers which are difficult to color, the film 6 is coated with a colored film material.
By forming, the hood cloth can be colored in a desired color. Therefore, the film 6 can improve the tensile strength, light resistance (weather resistance), and colorability of the hood cloth.

The above structure forms the hood cloth 7 for a railway vehicle.

FIGS. 2 to 9 show a first embodiment of a connecting hood for a vehicle using the hood cloth 7 and having a mechanism for preventing the lower hood cloth from hanging.
An example will be described.
