The roller coaster with separable cars and multiple paths is a mechanical structure. The roller coaster with separable cars and multiple paths incorporates a plurality of trolleys, a track structure, and a control structure. The control structure controls the motion of the plurality of trolleys through the track structure. Each individual trolley selected from the plurality of trolleys travels along the track structure either as a train or as in individual trolley. Each individual trolley can both separate from the train and rejoin the train as the individual trolley travels through the track structure. The track structure is a multipath structure. The track structure forms a circuit. The track structure forms the path that guides each the plurality of trolleys through the circuit formed by the track structure. Each individual trolley can take an individual path selected from the multipath structure of the track structure.

The invention relates to a flexible clamp for securing a pin to a base yoke in an articulated joint connection, wherein the clamp comprises a body configured for mounting to the base yoke. The body of the clamp comprises at least one recess or aperture arranged in a vicinity of the pin contact part, which is shaped and sized to control deformation of the pin contact part of the clamp, when the clamp is secured to the base and engages the pin. The invention also relates to an articulated joint connection and a railway coupler comprising the clamp according the invention.

An assembly that includes a housing with a chamber formed within a bore of the housing. The assembly further includes a tapered center shaft disposed at least partially within the bore of the housing. The chamber includes an angled contact surface, a sliding wedge, and a load spring. The sliding wedge is positioned to apply a force onto the angled contact surface of the chamber. The sliding wedge is also positioned to apply a frictional force to a rod portion of the tapered center shaft. The load spring is compressed between a contact surface of the chamber and a contact surface of the sliding wedge. The load spring is positioned to apply a compressive force onto the contact surface of sliding wedge toward the angled contact surface of the chamber.

An articulated connector for a rail vehicle having a plurality of rail car bodies including a first and a second rail car body supported on a bolster of a Jacobs bogie. The articulated connector includes a spherical joint mechanism connecting the first rail car body and the second car body to one another, the spherical joint mechanism having at least two spherical joint bearings, and the spherical joint mechanism being disposed on the bolster of the Jacobs bogie.
