COACH BODY, ESPECIALLY FOR RAILWAYS

摘要

A vehicle body for railcars having endwalls and sidewalls of hollow metal sections connecting a roof and a floor comprises a floor having a first intermediate floor consisting of two portions extending from the endwalls toward each other, a second lower floor connected to the two extending portions and a third upper floor over the second floor wherein a plurality of triangular-shaped side plates connect the second lower floor and the third upper floor to the two extending portions at the corner of the side plates so as to uniformly distribute longitudinal forces to the floor while preventing the transfer of longitudinal forces to the sidewalls.
