OUTER BELLOWS FOR HIGH-SPEED RAILROAD ROLLING STOCK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an outer bellows for a high-speed railroad rolling stock with durability which is the outer bellows for a coupling part of the high-speed traveling railroad rolling stock, mounted to the respective vehicle ends, and maintains opposing outer bellows each other to regular contacting state with a simple mechanism. SOLUTION: The outer bellows for the rolling stock is opposingly arranged from the respective face end parts of couplings of the rolling stock so that a U-shaped cross sectional hood member fills in the outside of the gap of the coupling. The inside surface of the U-shaped cross sectional hood member is movable, and the outside surface is constituted to the fixed position. The movable inside surface is pushed with a pneumatic spring member at pushing-out time, and drawn in with a separately placed spring member at drawing-in time. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
