CA 2003891

The crossover forming an end portion of a railcar, providing an interconnection between a pair of cars when coupled to the adjoining crossover, comprises a protective bellows forming the crossover surround, and a platform portion, for connecting with a similar construction on the adjoining car. The crossover includes a supporting frame portion located adjacent the railcar buffers. A mechanical linkage interconnects the buffers with respective portions of the crossover, such that, on compression of a respective buffer against its spring, as when traversing a sharp curve, the related portion of the crossover is retracted, to minimize possible damage to the crossover frame due to relative transverse shifting of the cars, with consequent lateral displacement of the buffers. A further provision includes deflection blocks, positioned to displace the respective crossover frame portion out of harms way, in the event of the incursion of a car bumper into the vicinity of the crossover frame.

Le couloir d'intercommunication au bout d'une voiture de chemin de fer, qui établit un raccordement entre deux voitures quand il est couplé au couloir de la voiture adjacente, comprend un soufflet protecteur entourant le couloir et une partie plate-forme se raccordant à une construction similaire sur la voiture adjacente. Le couloir d'intercommunication comprend un bâti support adjacent aux tampons de la voiture. Une liaison mécanique relie les tampons à des parties respectives du couloir de sorte que, au moment où un tampon est comprimé contre son ressort, comme au passage d'une courbe prononcée, la partie connexe du couloir est mise en retrait de manière à minimiser la possibilité de dommages au bâti du couloir par suite du déplacement transversal relatif des voitures qui entraîne un déplacement latéral des tampons. L'invention prévoit aussi des cales de déviation placées de manière à déporter la partie respective du couloir d'intercommunication à l'extérieur d'un éventuel trajet de dommage si un pare-chocs de voiture venait à passer près du bâti du couloir d'intercommunication.
