A folding-canopy main body used for a train through-passage includes an outward folding-canopy body and an inward folding-canopy body. The folding-canopy main body is vertically provided and extends along a front-back direction. The inward folding-canopy body is formed by connecting at least two pieces of internal canopy cloth which arch inwards to form a U shape along the front-back direction, the outward folding-canopy body is formed by connecting at least two pieces of external canopy cloth which arch outwards to form a U shape along the front-back direction, and the end portions of two adjacent pieces of internal canopy cloth and the end, portions of two adjacent pieces of external canopy cloth are all clamped and riveted by U-shaped parts.

A gangway bellow includes an outer bellow presenting corrugations forming a plurality of valleys presenting each a valley top portion facing upwardly and connected at each end to a valley top corner forming a junction between the valley top portion and a respective bellow side. The gangway bellow further includes at least one drainage channel so that liquid accumulating into at least one of the valley top portions flows through the at least one drainage channel along the respective bellow side.

A rail vehicle has a carbody shell having an end wall and a usable space. The end wall includes a doorway for providing access to the usable space, and at least two footplate catchers for preventing a set of footplates arranged adjacent to the footplate catcher from entering the usable space, such as in an event of a crash.

An articulation system (1) for interconnecting first and second vehicle units of an articulated road vehicle comprises a central element (2) including a vertical cylinder with left and right arcuate walls (4) extending between two facing openings. First and second interconnecting structures (5) are joined to the central element (2) and are adapted to be respectively attached to the first and second vehicle units on opposed sides of the central element (2). Each interconnecting structure has a pitch joint member (5a) and a yaw joint member (5b). The pitch joint member (5a) has a frame (7) perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of a corresponding one of the first and second vehicle units and a pitch hinge mechanism (6) at a floor level to interconnect with the corresponding one of the first and second vehicle units. The yaw joint member (5b) has a frame (8) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the corresponding one of the first and second vehicle units and left and right arcuate walls juxtaposed to the left and right arcuate walls (4) of the vertical cylinder and rotatable therearound. The frame (7) of the pitch joint member (5a) and the frame (8) of the yaw joint member (5b) are juxtaposed and mechanically linked to jointly form a planar roll joint mechanism.

A railcar diaphragm includes a car side assembly configured to be coupled to an end wall of a railcar, a wear side assembly configured to engage the wear side assembly of another railcar diaphragm or an other railcar when the other railcar is coupled to the railcar, a bellows assembly disposed between the car side assembly and the wear side assembly to provide a pathway and at least one elastomer suspension unit assembly including an elastomer suspension unit, a bearing assembly and an arm having a first end coupled to the elastomer suspension unit and a second end coupled to the bearing assembly. The elastomer suspension unit assembly is coupled to the car side or wear side assembly via the bearing assembly. The arm is biased towards an initial position by the elastomer suspension unit as a distance between the car side assembly and the wear side assembly changes.

A body (1) for a rail vehicle (100) comprising a control panel (4) for controlling the rail vehicle (100). The control panel (4) has a rest position and an operational position and, in the rest position, is located in a control panel holder (41) while, in the operational position, is at least partially located outside the control panel holder (41) such that control elements (42) are accessible for operation.
