(Problem to be solved by the invention) In recent years, as medium-distance limited express trains and limited express trains and express trains for commuting areas near urban areas have been required to have smarter shapes and faster speeds, it has become necessary to connect multiple units. Increasingly, the shape of the leading train is inclined slightly rearward in the vertical direction from the set standard height position. As the number of trains with this shape increases, in order to reduce the total number of vehicles owned and achieve economical operation efficiency, it is necessary to make trains with sloping ends more difficult to use than other trains and vehicles with the same shape. It becomes necessary to be able to make a loose connection with trains that have vertical end surfaces at the front and rear.

However, trains with slanted ends do not have vertical end faces for fixing the conventional mounting frames for connecting vehicles, making it difficult to connect them with other trains, or when it is possible to do so. However, there was an inconvenience that required considerable effort.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the front end of the vehicle has a shape that protrudes forward, and a plug door narrower than the width of the vehicle is located in the center of the vehicle in the width direction.

A pair of guide rails are provided to move the plug door after rotation to the inside of the ceiling. One end of the wire to be wound is connected to the wire winding device, and in the storage chamber behind the plug door, a gable frame with rollers is held in place with a collapsible girdle connected to the tip on the plug door side. The girder frame, which is equipped with a rotatable plate at the lower end of the girth mounting side, has an engaging member that engages with a guide member provided on the side wall of the storage chamber, and also has an engaging member that engages with a guide member provided on the side wall of the storage chamber. A connecting member for fixing the hollow frame to the vertical wall inside the vehicle is provided on the hollow frame on the inside of the vehicle when the hollow frame is extended to the outside of the vehicle by the specified dimension, thereby configuring the hollow frame for connecting a vehicle.

(Function) The upper end of the plug door is rotated inward to engage the engaging members at both widthwise ends of the plug door with the guide rails, and the wire connected to the upper end of the plug door is wound up by the wire winding device. , the plug door is moved inside the train ceiling along the guide rail and held in that position.

Next, move the gauntlet frame with rollers stored in the storage chamber behind the plug door to the set position along the guide member on the side wall of the storage chamber toward the opening after the plug door is moved, and connect it to the grate frame. When it is fixed to the inner wall surface of the vehicle with the member, the horo attached to the horo frame projects to the outside of the train having an inclined tip.

Therefore, by connecting the tip side of this horo not only to the holo protruding outward from another train having an inclined tip, but also to the holo attached to the train having a vertical end face,
It is possible to connect with trains with various tip shapes.
