Communicating passage between the bodies of two coaches of a railway or tramway vehicle, and a railway or tramway vehicle using this communicating passage.

摘要

A communicating passage (10) between the bodies (B1, B2) of two coaches of a railway or tramway vehicle comprises two rotating passage members (30, 32) including two substantially semicircular lower platforms (38) articulated to the ends (12, 20) of the two bodies (B1, B2) about respective vertical pivots (40, 42), an intermediate connecting member (34) between the two passage members, and lateral centering means (52, 80) which interconnect the two lower platforms (38) with the lower ends of the bodies in order to keep the transverse axis (A) of the communicating passage (10) constantly oriented substantially in conformity with the bisector of the angle formed between the longitudinal axes of the two bodies (B1, B2).
