End wall for a railway goodswagon

摘要

The end wall for railway wagons, especially for wagons with sliding sides, has the two vertical end wall pillars (2) installed by their lower ends on a torsion tube (3) extending in the wagon's transverse direction. The torsion tube is connected to end brackets (4) which fit on upwards projected extensions of the longitudinal supports (5) of the bogie (6). The bracket connections (4) to the longitudinal supports are constructed and connected in such a way that forces acting on the end wall (1) are directed into the connections to the longitudinal supports.
