Patent ID: 8479659

Claim:
A device for shifting the stops of articulated cars of railway vehicles in curves, which is arranged between every two contiguous cars articulated by means of a transversely centered coupling or articulation, the two contiguous cars being a preceding car and a following car and having a protruding element protruding from a front part connected to the coupling or articulation projecting from the rear part of the preceding car, wherein the preceding car has two supports fixed to its bed and close to its rear contour symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of said preceding car, from which corresponding ties emerge backwardly, said ties are articulated at one end on said supports and at the other end are connected to respective slides by means of respective articulations located at one end of each of said slides, the slides being able to shift on guides located in respective lateral faces of the protruding element of a following car connected to the coupling or articulation; the following car has two supports fixed to its bed and close to its front contour symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of said car, from which corresponding ties emerge forwardly, which ties are articulated at one end on said supports and at the other end are connected to respective support parts by means of respective articulations, each of the support parts having a protruding stop on its outer face; and the support parts and the slides are wedge-shaped, such that an inclined plane corresponding to the inner face of each support part is coupled, such that the support parts can shift, to a guide located in the inclined plane corresponding to the outer face of the corresponding slide.
