RAILWAY FREIGHT CAR

摘要

The wagon has hoods, moving on rollers along rails, flexibly divided at the apex, with an elastic cover. The central arch (5) is unbraced. Each hook (4) covers the space between this and one end (3) when closed, and is clamped to the end wall. - It has bottom stop pieces (20) held with play in front of stop pieces (21) on the underframe (1) near the end wall. Near the arch-side end it has clasps held with play in front of, and below, lift-preventing cams (23) on the underframe. Support feet (18) hold each hood in support rails (19). For raising and swinging out for travel, the operating mechanism (29-35) moves the hood's running-rollers (26) onto the running-rails (27).
