Provided is a railway vehicle capable of constructing a highly reliable seal for a side hinged door with a small number of manufacturing steps. The railway vehicle includes: a side structure 20; an opening portion 10 provided in the side structure 20; a side hinged door 12 configured to close the opening portion 10; a door pillar 22 provided on a vehicle interior side of a peripheral edge portion of the opening portion 10; a retainer 24 provided on the door pillar 22; and an expandable seal rubber 25 gripped by the retainer 24 and expanded by pumped air. The retainer 24 includes a seal damming portion 24a that protrudes toward the opening portion 10.

The front door (1) tilts in the structure of the vehicle (VP) by means of upper hinges (2), assisted by dampers (3) connected to the internal structure (4) of the front door (1) and to the vehicle, provided with the lower portion (5) articulated by the lower hinge (6) to the structure of the vehicle (VP). The lower portion of the door (5) projects outwards when the front door (1) is opened through the action of cables (15) and pulleys (16). On the opening of the lower portion of the door (5), a retractable staircase (7) extends; when retracted, it folds under the floor of the vehicle (8). The front door (1) is activated internally by the passengers using a lever (9) that tums a rod (10), moving shafts (11) that release the locking mechanism. The internal release depends on an electromagnetic safety key, making it possible to open the front door (1) if the vehicle breaks down.

A double-track vehicle, comprising upper and lower carriages, which are respectively a passenger carriage (1) for providing passenger seats and a cargo carriage (2) for placing cargo, the passenger carriage (1) and the cargo carriage (2) being respectively provided with a passenger door (3) for passengers to get on and off and a cargo door (4) for loading and unloading cargo. The vehicle carries out simultaneous transport of passengers and cargo, allowing for the function of the rail vehicle to no longer be singular and largely reducing transport and maintenance costs. At the same time, passenger transport and cargo transport are divided into two layers, which completely separates cargo transport and passenger transport, thereby providing passengers with a comfortable seating environment and improving seating safety.

An apparatus includes a transfer ball, a rod, a first bracket, a second bracket, a lock nut, an elastic element, and a threaded collar. The rod is coupled to the transfer ball and extends vertically from the transfer ball. The second bracket is positioned above the first bracket. The rod extends vertically through the first bracket and the second bracket. The lock nut engages to the rod and is positioned above the first bracket and below the second bracket. The elastic element is positioned above the lock nut and below the second bracket. The rod extends vertically through the elastic element. The threaded collar is positioned above the elastic element and below the second bracket. The threaded collar is engaged to the rod. The rod extends through the threaded collar.

A gondola car has a door and an associated door frame the end. The door hangs hingedly from the header of the frame. The header runs across the top of the door opening and is connected to the top chords at either side. The door posts are positioned inside the side sheets and tie into the header at each upper corner. The side sheets lap onto the door posts to allow longitudinal adjustment of the side assemblies and the door frame relative to each other, at assembly. The side posts are connected to the header with a tie plate that is bolted to both members. The car may also have a tarp dome at each end. The tarp dome has non-welded connections that have play to permit the tarp dome to accommodate movement of the top chords.

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 pivot door assembly for a vehicle with a door opening, includes a door leaf for opening and closing the door opening, and a rotary post assembly for displacing the door leaf between a closing position and an opening position. The rotary post assembly has a rotary post pivotable for displacing the door leaf. The door assembly also includes a rotary post lever for coupling the rotary post with the door leaf, wherein the door leaf has a roller bolt guided in a roller bolt rail. The pivot door assembly further includes an upper portal strip arranged in an upper horizontal region of the door opening. The roller bolt rail is arranged in the upper portal strip.

An apparatus includes a transfer ball, a rod, a first bracket, a second bracket, a lock nut, an elastic element, and a threaded collar. The rod is coupled to the transfer ball and extends vertically from the transfer ball. The second bracket is positioned above the first bracket. The rod extends vertically through the first bracket and the second bracket. The lock nut engages to the rod and is positioned above the first bracket and below the second bracket. The elastic element is positioned above the lock nut and below the second bracket. The rod extends vertically through the elastic element. The threaded collar is positioned above the elastic element and below the second bracket. The threaded collar is engaged to the rod. The rod extends through the threaded collar.

The invention relates to a public transport vehicle comprising at least one unit for the flexible transport of passengers and/or freight. According to the invention at least one outer side wall of the unit has multiple adjacent doors, that also form the outer side wall of the vehicle along the length of the vehicle, where when the unit is used for freight transport all doors can open to provide a wide entry opening for loading and unloading freight and when used for passenger transport one or more of the doors remain permanently closed and at least one door can be opened. The inventive vehicle uses a complete outer side wall of the unit as entry and exit possibility. When the unit is meant for transporting freight, all doors in the side wall can open to provide an opening as wide as the length of a unit. The whole space of the unit is than accessible for freight. When using the unit for transporting passengers it is important for safety reasons to keep the doors close to passenger seats permanently closed and locked. At least one door of the unit that is not close to the passenger seats should be able to open to let passengers enter or exit the unit.
