The invention relates to a rooftop crossmember (31) structurally bridging rooftop side members (32) at an end of a rooftop (11) of a railway passenger car (2, 3) adjacent to a gangway bellow (4) and comprising a plurality of structural elements such as an upper structural element (40a) and a lower structural element (40b). The lower and upper structural elements (40a, 40b) are shaped and attached together for forming a hollow structure integrating means for performing non-mechanical functions such as a water drainage channel (34) for evacuating water accumulating on the rooftop (11) on the top part of said gangway bellow (4), and at least an electric housing (29).

Subject matter of the invention is the scissor-type frame (20) with at least one first and one second segment (22, 24), with the segments (22, 24) being connected with each other by means of a pivoting bearing (25), with the pivoting bearing (25) being divided into two pivoting bearing halves (31, 41) perpendicular to the plane of extension of the scissor-type frame, with a device (60) for detachable connection of the pivoting bearing halves (31, 41) being provided.

A gangway between two articulately connected vehicles includes at least one bellows enveloping a gangway system to form a tunnel. The bellows has several tunnel-shaped circumferential bellows frames for forming corrugations or folds. The bellows has spacers, in the floor or roof area. The spacers are disposed between individual bellows frames and between a bellows frame and a fixed point connected to the respective vehicle.

Described is a device for connecting between the bellows and the frame of articulated vehicles, including a connecting element having a hooking portion which can be coupled to an end edge of a bellows, and an engagement portion which can be inserted in a compartment defined by a rigid support of the frame of the vehicle and abutting at least one first inner wall of the compartment; the device also has an elastically deformable insertion element, also positioned in the compartment between the connecting element and a second inner wall, for stably engaging the engagement portion against said first inner wall. The insertion element and the connecting element comprise reciprocal coupling means configured for making a mutual connection between the insertion element and the connecting element.

A gangway assembly comprising a gangway for arrangement between two cars of a multi-car vehicle having a first bellows with a frame for connecting to a counter frame of a second bellows of the gangway, a first electrical coupler connected to the frame of the first bellows and a second electrical coupler connected to the counter frame of the second bellows. A first support is connected to the frame of the first bellows. The first electrical coupler is movably mounted on the first support so as to be movable between an advanced position and a retracted position. A second support is fixedly connected to the second bellows counter frame, the second electrical coupler movably mounted on the second support and movable between an advanced position and a retracted position. An advancing mechanism advances the first and second electrical couplers from their respective retracted position to their respective advanced position.
