DEVICE FOR LIMITING CLIMBING OF A RAIL VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a device for limiting climbing of a rail vehicle (1) onto another rail vehicle (10) in the event of a collision. For this purpose, a component (4) is arranged on a base plate (2) of the rail vehicle (1), in the vicinity of the front side of the rail vehicle (1), said component (4) interacting with the front end of a base plate (8) of the other rail vehicle (10) in the event of a collision. There is provision for the component (4) to be oriented at an angle to the plane of the base plate (2) and to be designed as a cutter pointing to the front side of the rail vehicle (1), for the purpose of cutting into the front end of the base plate (8) of the other rail vehicle (10) in the event of a collision. Climbing is prevented by kinetic energy being additionally converted by the cutting in.
