Patent

CA 2457035

A railroad car (1) with adjustable floor (11, 13, 17, or 19) and roof (27) sections, an adjusting mechanism (21, 23) connected to each, allowing a user to independently or in unison adjust the relative heights of each and/or convert the car from a bi-level to a tri-level car. The overall height of the car can be reduced, which results in reduced costs because the need to stockpile bi-level and tri-level cars for use on routes with different height restrictions is eliminated.

La présente invention concerne un wagon (1) ferroviaire avec des parties plancher (11, 13, 17, ou 19) et toit (27) réglables, un mécanisme de réglage (21, 23) connecté à chacune de ces parties, permettant à un utilisateur de régler ensemble ou indépendamment les hauteurs relatives de chacune de ces parties et/ou de transformer ce wagon à deux niveaux en wagon à trois niveaux. La hauteur totale de ce wagon peut être abaissée, ce qui baisse les coûts car on n'a plus besoin de cumuler des wagons à deux niveaux et des wagons à trois niveaux destinés à des parcours présentant des restrictions de hauteur différentes.
