A joint connector of a railway vehicle comprises a concave joint (22) and a convex joint (21). A traction load transfer section and/or a compression load transfer section are provided between the concave joint and the convex joint. The traction load transfer section and the compression load transfer section are detachable assembled in the concave joint. The service life of the concave joint is prolonged due to the arrangement of the traction load transfer section and the compression load transfer section.

A chain of semi-trailer vehicles is intended to be articulated to a main vehicle. Each semi-trailer vehicle includes a body and a single bogie supporting the body, known as a trailer bogie. The bodies of the semi-trailer vehicles are successively articulated to one another from a first semi-trailer vehicle of the chain by a separate inter-body joint. Each inter-body joint is carried by one end of each semi-trailer vehicle connected to a following vehicle. Each inter-body joint is articulated along a vertical pivot axis. Each trailer bogie of a body carries an inter-body joint arranged longitudinally with respect to the body so that the bogie axis and the interconnection axis are offset.

The invention relates to an articulated coupling comprising at least one tension-transferring or compression-transferring rod, at least one pressure plate comprising a cutting tool that comprises at least one blade and a central conically shaped recess. Furthermore, the articulated coupling comprises at least one conical threaded ring which comprises an internal thread and is slit in a longitudinal direction, wherein the rod comprises an external thread onto which the conical threaded ring is screwed. The cutting tool is arranged on a conical external surface of the conical threaded ring, wherein the conical threaded ring is arranged at least partially in the conically shaped recess.

Joint arrangement (10) for a truck comprising at least one deformation element (12.1, 12.2), wherein the deformation element comprises at least one rod (14.1, 14.2) and a connection plate (16.1, 16.2), wherein the connection plate is arranged on the rod, wherein the rod has at least one stop element. The connection plate can be displaced on the rod in the longitudinal direction of said rod, wherein a deformation work can be performed on the deformation element in the event of a displacement of the connection plate on the rod; and wherein a displacement path of the connection plate on the rod is limited by the stop element (24.1, 24.2). Further a method for energy conversion is proposed.

This articulation device for an articulated vehicle comprises a first shackle (14), a second shackle (16), and an articulation joint (18) comprising a first articulation member (20) comprising a single first section (52) and a second articulation member (22) comprising a single second section (60). The first section (52) and the second section (60) are rotatable relative to each other; the first shackle (14) is connected to the first articulation member (20) and the second shackle (16) is connected to the second articulation member (22). The second articulation member (22) comprises a single connecting member (66) through which the second section (60) is connected to the second shackle (16), the connecting member (66) being adapted to adjust the position of the second section (60) relative to the second shackle (16) along a longitudinal axis (X2-X2) and along a transverse axis (Y2-Y2).

An articulated rail coupler comprises a base member, a female connecting member, a male connecting member, a bearing race, a first bearing seated within the bearing race and defining a vertical axis of rotation, and a second or a coupler bearing configured and sized to be received within a truck bogie bearing bowl. The male connecting member is allowed to rotate relative to the female connecting member about the vertical axis of rotation in a range of about ninety degrees, when the male connecting member and the female connecting member are coupled therebetween by the first bearing.
