DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the examples shown in the drawings.
[0011]
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 stretchable sheet, which is formed into a plate shape by a stretchable material such as soft synthetic resin or synthetic rubber. Yes. This sheet 1 can be expanded and contracted in all directions.
[0012]
2 is a stretchable fabric, which is formed of knitted fabric (knitted) in which the yarn 3 is knitted in a loop shape and the stitch 4 is connected. When a load is applied to the fabric 2 in all directions, The yarn 3 in the loop portion is deformed as shown in FIG. 1 (b) and the cloth 2 is stretched. When the load is removed, the yarn 3 returns to the loop shape as shown in FIG. It is designed to shrink. 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.
[0013]
The yarn 3 of the fabric 2 uses synthetic fibers. Further, as the synthetic fiber, vinylon fiber, nylon fiber, polyester fiber, or polyamide fiber may be used. Furthermore, it is better 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-function fiber refers to a fiber having excellent special functions such as durability, chemical resistance, optical or electrical properties. Further, the high-performance fiber means a fiber having strength and elastic modulus which are several times better than ordinary synthetic fibers, and generally means a fiber having a strength of 20 g / d or more and an elastic modulus of 500 g / d or more.
[0014]
Then, a stretchable soft adhesive 5 is applied to the surface of the sheet 1 and the cloth 2 is adhered and fixed by the adhesive 5 to form a composite sheet. As the adhesive 5, for example, a stretchable rubber adhesive is used.
[0015]
Further, this bonding is performed by bonding only the yarn 3 on the surface portion on the bonding side of the cloth 2 made of knitted fabric.
[0016]
Next, a soft film material is attached 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 of the yarn 3, thereby forming a film 6 on the surface of the yarn 3. As the soft coating material, soft rubber or soft synthetic resin having elasticity (stretchability), light resistance and colorability is used.
[0017]
Since the film 6 is attached without filling the stitch 4 as described above, the stretching action of the sheet 1 and the cloth 2 is not hindered. Further, the function and performance of high-performance fibers and high-performance fibers are improved by the coating 6, and the coating 6 reinforces these properties in the case of fibers made of materials having poor light resistance, wear resistance, and bending fatigue resistance. To do. Furthermore, in an aramid fiber that is difficult to be colored, the hood cloth can be colored in a desired color by forming the film 6 with a colored film material. Therefore, the coating film 6 can improve the tensile strength, light resistance (weather resistance) and colorability of the hood.
[0018]
With the above-described configuration, the railcar hood cloth 7 is formed.

[0025]
Next, the bottom structure of the connecting hood 14 will be described.
[0026]
At the center part (the center part in the left-right direction of the hood) of the bottom cloth 7a of the hood cloth 7, an upper dripping piece 26 is located on the upper side (inner surface side) as shown in FIG. In addition, a lower sag stopper piece 27 located on the lower side (outer side) is arranged in the front-rear direction of the hood. The anti-sagging pieces 26 and 27 are formed in a narrow band shape so as to be located near the center of the hood, and are formed of a stretchable material.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 7, the front and rear ends of the upper sag stopper piece 26 are stretched and fixed to the hood metal frames 15 and 16 by a fixing plate 28, screws 29, and nuts 30. Further, the middle of the upper sag piece 26 is supported on the hood bone 17 through the upper surface of the hood bone 17 on the bottom side, and further, a presser foot 31, a screw 32, and a nut 33 are attached to the bottom fabric 7 a of the hood cloth 7.
