The present invention relates to the field of mechanical manufacturing technology, relating to a locking device. The locking device comprise a casing with a first end and a second end; a hole is formed on the first end, and the second end has an opening; a rod is provided within the casing; and a fastener is provided on the end portion of the rod outside the casing; a raised member located outside the casing is provided at a second end portion of the rod, the raised member having a diameter greater than a diameter of the opening and a gap being formed between the raised member and the casing; a spring is sleeved on the rod, and a first shaft is provided at the second end portion. An opening and closing mechanism having the locking device is further provided for the opening or closing of a fairing.

A rail vehicle includes a device compartment for accommodating a device, a protective flap for protecting the device compartment, and a decorative flap at least partially hiding or covering the protective flap. The decorative flap has a lower degree of rigidity or stiffness than the protective flap.

A rail vehicle front end has a center buffer coupling with a free coupling end section such that the free coupling end section is connectable to a further center buffer coupling of a further rail vehicle front end. The center buffer coupling extends along a longitudinal axis in a rest position. The center buffer coupling is mounted in such a way that the free coupling end section can be pivoted with respect to the longitudinal axis. The rail vehicle front end has a front panel that radially surrounds the center buffer coupling at least in sections such that a front opening pointing substantially in the longitudinal direction is defined between the front panel and the center buffer coupling. A cover device for covering the front opening extending between a front panel and a center buffer coupling of a rail vehicle is also disclosed.

A railcar head structure includes: a roof bodyshell positioned above a driver's cab window; and an underframe. The underframe includes: a pair of side sills; and a center sill located between the side sills and extending in a car longitudinal direction. A collision post is erected on a tip end of the center sill. A pillar is provided at the driver's cab window and extends so as to divide the driver's cab window. The pillar includes one end joined to the collision post and the other end joined to the roof bodyshell and couples the roof bodyshell and the collision post to each other.

Disclosed is a fairing (3) for an articulated railway vehicle bogie, this fairing including: a bottom wall (30) and side walls (31) able to surround at least a lower part of a bogie, and first and second anchoring zones (51, 52) each able to be fastened to one end, respectively, of a first body and a second body of a railway vehicle that are articulated relative to one another, in a configuration where these first and second bodies rest at least partially on the bogie. The fairing (3) includes a flexible connector (4) that mechanically links the first anchoring zone (51) and the second anchoring zone (52) and that authorizes a movement of these first and second anchoring zones relative to one another.
