ARRANGEMENT OF STIFFENING ELEMENTS, ESPECIALLY IN LOAD CARRYING VEHICLES

摘要

An arrangement of stiffening elements, in particular for a railway goods car with a longitudinal beam on both sides of a trough under a base plate which supports sidewalls connected by a lower truss and end walls of a car superstructure with upper truss, the interior (J) of the car superstructure featuring a plurality of cross-ties. Said arrangement is such that a cross beam is connected to an end face of the trough and to the base plate, the longitudinal beam meeting said cross beam and forming an abutting surface with it. Resting on the cross beam are two lengths of hollow sections which project a length (i) into the lower truss. The trough features a floor and an additional floor which are joined by strips of material in a corrugated manner. The cross-ties are tubular shaped and feature towards their ends squashed regions which are accommodated in pairs of fish-plates to which the said cross-ties are releasably attached by suitable facilities.
