DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0061] The attached FIGS. 1 to 27 show in different views and configurations a goods wagon designed as double pocket wagon 1, which is characterized by a particular flexibility in terms of the transportability of a wide range of goods. With the double pocket wagon 1 of the FIGS. 1 to 27, both cranable goods and also non-cranable goods, in particular semi-trailers, truck tractors and ISO containers of different sizes can be transported. The double pocket wagon 1 designed for the inter-modal goods traffic offers here a maximum of flexibility with respect to the goods to be transported and loaded.

[0062] As is shown in particular when viewing FIGS. 1 to 7B together, the double pocket wagon 1 comprises two pocket wagons 1A and 1B that are coupled to one another in an articulated manner. Here, the pocket wagons are basically configured identically so that in the following features explained for one of the pocket wagons 1A or 1B also apply to the other pocket wagon 1B or 1A.

[0063] The double pocket wagon 1 has an overall length 1 of approximately 34 m and corresponds to the requirements of the structure gauge G1 for the international goods traffic. The double pocket wagon 1 includes for the rail-bound transport three bogies DG1, DG2 and DG3. A bogie DG1 or DG3 is respectively provided here at a head piece 12 of a pocket wagon 1A or 1B, while the one bogie DG2 is provided centrally on the double pocket wagon 1 in the region of an articulated connection G of the two pocket wagons 1A and 1B. In the region of the articulated connection G, the two pocket wagons 1A and 1B are each coupled to one another via an end piece 13.

[0064] A head piece 12 as well as an end piece 13 of a pocket wagon 1A or 1B each forms a wagon-side loading surface 120 or 130 on the shown double pocket wagon 1. In the region of a first loading surface 120 of the head piece 12, a respective pin hitch 121 for a kingpin of a semi-trailer is provided. Between a head piece 12 and an end piece 13 there extend two side members 11.1 and 11.2 each located opposite one another, via which a head piece 12 and end piece 13 are connected to one another. Between the side members 11.1 and 11.2 a pocket 10 with a length of at least 9 m, in particular of at least 10 m is defined. This pocket 10 is circumferentially bordered here merely by the two side members 11.1 and 11.2 as well as the head piece 12 and the end piece 13 of a pocket wagon 1A or 1B. Thus, there is no further support structure connecting the two side members 11.1 and 11.2 or the head piece 12 and the end piece 13 provided between the side members 11.1 and 11.2. Thus, the pocket 10 is merely designed as a continuous recess without additional stiffening support structures running transversely or longitudinally and bounded on the circumference side by a frame-like structure of head piece 12, the two side members 11.1 and 11.2 and end piece 13.

[0065] In each pocket 10 of a pocket wagon 1A or 1B of the shown double pocket wagon 1 a removable (insert) basin 2 is placed. Here, a basin 2 is mounted on the two side members 11.1 and 11.2 located opposite one another by fastening elements formed as mounting studs 110a and 110b. As is illustrated for example in particular in the FIGS. 1, 2, 2A to 2B and 3, a basin 2 comprises a flat basin loading surface 20, on which for example a semi-trailer or a truck tractor can be positioned. At lateral edges of this basin loading surface 20, the basin 2 forms connecting elements in the form of four mounting tabs 21a to 21d. Each two mounting tabs 21a/21b, or 21c/21d formed on a longitudinal side of the basin 2 are equipped and provided for being mounted here on one of the side members 11.1, 11.2.

[0066] Here, each individual mounting tab 21a to 21d forms a connecting opening 210, in which on mounting the basin 2, for example by means of a reach stacker or a portal crane, a mounting stud 110a or 110b formed on the side member 11.1 or 11.2 can engage in a positive locking manner. As is evident for example in the enlarged representations of the FIGS. 2A and 2B, each mounting stud 110a or 110b for this purpose forms a cylindrical body 1100 projecting on the respective side member 11.1, 11.2 toward the inside with an end-side head 1101. A mounting tab 21a to 21d of the basin 2 is mounted via its connecting opening 210 on the body 1100 of the mounting stud 110a or 110b so that an upper edge of the respective mounting tab 21a to 21d is present between an inner side of the respective side member 11.1 and 11.2 and the head 1101 of the associated mounting stud 110a or 110b when the basin 2 is inserted in a pocket 10 as intended.

[0067] For loading the basin 2 and in particular the inserting into a pocket 10 of the same or the removal of a basin 2 from the pocket 10, transport bars 211 with through-openings are formed at an upper end of each mounting tab 21a to 21d. A usual loading/unloading system for example a reach stacker or portal crane can engage for example in the through-openings of the transport bars 211 in order to remove a basin 2 from the respective pocket 10 or mount it in the pocket 2.

[0068] When the basin 2 is mounted on the side members 11.1 and 11.2 of the double pocket wagon 1 as intended, the basin loading surface of the basin 2 is situated lower than the loading surfaces 120 and 130 of the head piece 12 and of the end piece 13. This circumstance is utilized here to make possible transporting containerized goods without having to utilize the basin 2 for this purpose. Thus, containerized goods can be transported with the double pocket wagon 1 of the FIGS. 1 to 27 independently of the basin 2. Consequently, the basin 2, mounted on the side members 11.1 and 11.2, can remain in the respective pocket 10 even when no goods are transported with the basin 2.

[0069] Accordingly, each pocket wagon 1A, 1B of the double pocket wagon comprises additional fastening elements in the form of locating studs 300, 40 in the region of a pocket 10, on which ISO containers of different type and size can be fixed as intended without the basin 2 having to be removed or positioned in the pocket 10 for this purpose. Here, multiple different locating studs 300 and 40 are provided on each pocket wagon 1A or 1B in the region of the side members 11.1 and 11.2 in order to be able on the one hand to transport containerized goods of different size on and in the pocket 10.

[0070] As is illustrated in more detail in particular by way of the FIGS. 4, 5, 5A to 5B, 6A to 6B and 7A to 7B, multiple, here at least two pairs of different locating studs 300, 40 are provided on each side member 11.1 and 11.2. At an upper edge of each side member 11.1 and 11.2 for example at least two (upper) locating stud units 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3, 3.4 are provided. Each of these locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4 engages an upper edge of the respective side member 11.1 or 11.2 with a bearing block 31. Here, a respective pivot bearing part 30 is pivotably mounted on this bearing block 31. On the pivot bearing part 30 the locating stud 300 is again formed which is thus pivotable via the pivot bearing part 30 between a non-usage position according to the FIGS. 6B and 7B and a usage position according to the FIGS. 5A, 6A and 7A on the side member 11.1 or 11.2. In a usage position, the pivot bearing part 30 with the locating stud 300 projects into the pocket 10 so that a container can be fixed thereon. In the non-usage position, the locating stud 300 by contrast is pivoted out of the pocket 10 toward the outside. In the non-usage position, a container can thus be arranged on the double pocket wagon 1 without fixing on the locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4 (see for example FIGS. 8A to 9B) and if applicable can also be inserted, past the locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4, in the interior of the pocket 10 (see for example FIGS. 11A to 11B).

[0071] The locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4 can basically be positioned fixed on the side members 11.1 and 11.2. In the shown embodiment version, the locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4 can be freely positioned, in particular rolled along a side member 11.1, 11.2 in the region of the pocket 2. In such a manner, differently distributed fastening points for different versions of ISO containers and interchangeable containers to be fixed on the side members 11.1, 11.2 can be provided via the locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4. Basically, the (upper) locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4 can also be detachably fixed to the side members 11.1 and 11.2 so that a locating stud unit 3.1 to 3.4 can also be completely removed from a side member 11.1 or 11.2 if required.

[0072] In addition to this, additional (lower) locating stud units are provided on the inner sides of the side members 11.1 and 11.2. Here, two locating stud units are provided on each side member 11.1, 11.2 of which in the attached figures merely locating stud units 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 are visible. Each locating stud unit 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 comprises a bearing block 41, via which the respective locating stud unit 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 is held on the inner side of a side member 11.1 or 11.2. On each bearing block 41 a locating stud 40 is formed which can be utilized for fixing an ISO container. The individual locating stud units 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 here can basically also be mounted so as to be longitudinally moveable on a side member 11.1 or 11.2 in order to achieve an additional flexibilization of different container sizes and be able to position the locating stud units in different positions on a side member 11.1 or 11.2.

[0073] Basically, position and number of the locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4 and 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 are not restricted. For example, an additional locating stud unit 3.5 can also be provided on a side member 11.2 in accordance with the representation in FIG. 3. Basically, the locating stud units 3.1 to 3.5 as well as 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 can be embodied so as to be rollable in order to be able to accommodate ISO containers and interchangeable containers of different size both above and also within a pocket 10 on the double pocket wagon 1.

[0074] As is illustrated in particular in different views by way of the FIGS. 8A to 11B, in particular a flexible loading of the double pocket wagon 1 with containers C45, C40 and C20 of different size is made possible by way of the shown configuration of the double pocket wagon 1.

[0075] For example, a 45 foot container C45 can be loaded on each pocket wagon 1A, 1B according to the representations of FIGS. 8A to 8D. Here, such a 45 foot container C45 is placed onto the loading surfaces 120 and 130 of the head piece 12 and of the end piece 13. The pivotably mounted locating studs 300 of the locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4 are pivoted in a non-usage position here. The respective 45 foot container C45 is neither supported on a basin 2 nor is present within a pocket 10 of the pocket wagon 1A or 1B. The double pocket wagon 1 is rather structured in such a manner that the 45 foot container C45 when loaded as intended extends over the pocket 10 and the basin loading surface 20 of the mounted basin 2. Even when loading a 45 foot container C45, the basin 2 can thus be mounted on the side members 11.1 and 11.2 and easily transported along.

[0076] Accordingly, the FIGS. 8A to 8D illustrate the double pocket wagon 1 loaded with two 45 foot containers C45 without basins 2, while the FIGS. 9A and 9B illustrate the same loading situation with two 45 foot containers C45 with mounted basins 2.

[0077] Transporting 40 foot containers C40 according to the FIGS. 10A and 10B is also possible independently of the basin 2. Here, a transport position for a 40 foot container C40 is predefined by way of the locating studs 300, pivoted into the usage position thereof, of the upper locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4, in which transport position these 40 foot containers C40 also extend over a pocket 10 and thus over a basin 2 mounted therein.

[0078] The same applies to a transport position for 20 foot containers C20 predefined with the lower locating stud units 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 according to the FIGS. 11A and 11B. The 20 foot containers C20 partly rest within a pocket 10 by way of the locating stud units 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 arranged on the inner sides of the side members 11.1 and 11.2 (and thus within the pocket 10) when they were loaded as intended on the double pocket wagon 1. However, it is also ensured by way of the arrangement of the locating stud units 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 relative to the mounting studs 110a and 110b for the mounted basin 2 that the 20 foot container C20 is situated in the transport position above the basin loading surface 20 of the mounted basin 2 predefined for said container and consequently is neither supported on the basin loading surface 20 nor the transportability of the basin 2 being influenced by being loaded with a 20 foot container C20.

[0079] Furthermore, in order to be able to transport with the basin 2 different goods that are not easily cranable in an efficient manner, the basin 2 comprises a ramp assembly 200 shown in the FIGS. 12A to 16B in different configurations and ramp positions.

[0080] This ramp assembly 200 comprises multiple (here four) ramps 201, 202, 203 and 204 as well as two ramp extensions 205 and 206. Here, the ramps 201 to 204 and ramp extensions 205, 206 of the ramp assembly 200 are predefined different ramp positions on the basin loading surface 20, which simplify an efficient loading of the basin 2 with different goods.

[0081] In a first ramp position illustrated in different views in the FIGS. 12A and 12B the four ramps 201 to 204 are present in pairs with ramp extensions 205, 206 received between each two ramps 201/204 or 202/203. Each ramp 201 to 204 comprises an articulated bearing part 201a, 202b, 203c or 204d via which the respective ramp 201, 202, 203 or 204 is fixed on the basin loading surface 20.

[0082] A ramp unit 200a, 200b, 200c or 200d of a ramp 201, 202, 203 or 204 is articulated on each articulated bearing part 201a to 204d. The respective ramp unit 200a, 200b, 200c or 200d of a ramp 201, 202, 203 or 204 projects the (first) ramp position illustrated in the FIGS. 12A to 12B only slightly or not at all over the longitudinally extended basin loading surface 20 and is substantially positioned centrally on the basin loading surface 20. Further, in this first ramp position, the two ramp extensions 205 and 206 are detachably fixed on the articulated bearing parts 201a to 204a via fixing pins 200.1 and 200.2 and thus likewise held on the ramp surface 20 of the basin 2 in its defined position.

[0083] The first ramp position of the ramp assembly 200 shown in the FIGS. 12A and 12B is equipped and provided for the loading of the basin 2 with a semi-trailer T1 or T2 according to the FIGS. 17A and 18B. With the basin 2 removed and placed on a ground, for example the semi-trailer T1 can be driven into the basin 2 by means of a truck tractor L and fixed on the basin loading surface 2 (see FIGS. 18A and 18B). The individual components of the ramp assembly 200 are then present centrally between wheels R of the semi-trailer T1. The semi-trailer T1 driven onto the basin 2 and secured thereon can then be loaded by means of the basin 2 into the pocket 10 of a pocket wagon 1A or 1B of the double pocket wagon 1, as is shown in the FIGS. 17A and 17B for the two semi-trailers T1 and T2. A kingpin of the respective semi-trailer T1 or T2 is then received and secured on the pin hitch 121 of the respective head piece 12.

[0084] As is illustrated by way of the FIGS. 13A-13B and 15A-15B, a ramp assembly 200 can be arranged on the basin 2 also in a predefined second ramp position. In the second ramp position, the ramps 201 to 204, compared with the first ramp position, are offset transversely and parallel with respect to an extension direction of the ramps 201 to 204. Accordingly, the ramps 201 to 204 offset parallel to the illustrated second ramp position (relative to the first ramp position) protrude further over a front-side edge of the basin 2 than in the first ramp position and thus provide a transport surface for a truck tractor L1 to L4 that is extended over the edge of the basin 2 (see for example FIG. 19). Here, the individual ramps 201 to 204 are present in pairs in the region of the two longitudinal side ends of the basin loading surface 20 in such a manner that each ramp 201 to 204 protrudes with its ramp unit 200a to 200d over a front-side end of the basin loading surface 200. On two ramps 201 and 204 assigned to a longitudinal side, the ramp extensions 205 and 206 can then be arranged furthermore, so that on the two front sides of the basin loading surface 20, accessible ramps of different lengths protrude. The ramps 201 to 204 of the two pairs of ramps 201/204 and 202/203 here are substantially arranged spaced apart transversely from one another corresponding to the track width of a truck tractor L1 to L4, so that a truck tractor L1, L2, L3 or L4 driven onto the basin 2 stands with its wheels on the ramps 201 to 204 and ramp extensions 205 and 206 according to the FIGS. 19, 20 and 21A to 21B.

[0085] By way of the pivotable mounting on the articulated bearing parts 201a to 204d it is then achieved when mounting the basin 2 with the truck tractors L1/L2 or L3/L4 positioned thereon that two truck tractors L1 and L2 or L3 and L4 positioned on a basin 2 can be tilted toward one another in the pocket 10, in which the basin 2 is mounted, and thus be arranged in a more space-saving manner. The ramps 201 to 204 protruding over the front sides of the basin loading surface 20, on which the truck tractors L1 to L4 rest, consequently protrude over a pocket 10 of the double pocket wagon 1 (significantly more than in a first ramp position). In such a manner, the ramps 201 to 204 in this configuration cannot be accommodated within the basin 2 and, during the loading process, lie against the head piece 12 and the end piece 13. Thus, upon the further lowering of the basin 2 into the pocket 10, the protruding ramp units 200a to 200d are pivoted on the articulated bearing parts 201a to 204d. The second ramp position of the ramp assembly 200 is accordingly predefined in such a manner that truck tractors L1, L2 or L3, L4 positioned on the basin 2—on mounting the basin 2 in the pocket 1 and otherwise without further action—are tilted toward one another.

[0086] By way of the FIGS. 14A-14B and 16A-16B it is illustrated further that for positioning truck tractors L1 to L4 on the basin 2 the ramp extensions 205 and 206 obviously need not be essentially arranged on the ramps 201 to 204. The ramp extensions 205 and 206 can also remain fixed on the basin loading surface 20 centrally between two ramps 201, 204 or 202, 203. In such a manner, the ramp extensions 205 and 206 can be easily carried along even when no truck tractors L1 to L4 are positioned thereon, for example because merely two-axle truck tractors L2, L3 have to be carried along on the double pocket wagon 1.

[0087] As is illustrated in the sectional representation of FIG. 22, the proposed construction of the double pocket wagon 1 with the basin 2 mounted in the pocket 10 also allows transporting an individual truck tractor L2 without problem. Here, the truck tractor 2 is then positioned completely on the basin loading surface 20 and transported by means of the basin 2 in the pocket 10 of a pocket wagon 1A or 1B double pocket wagon 1.

[0088] By way of the FIGS. 23A-23B, 24, 25, 26A-26B and 27 it is illustrated, furthermore, that the double pocket wagon 1 can also be utilized for loading with goods by the roll-on/roll-off method. Here, a function position on the pocket 10 is predefined via the locating studs 300 of the upper locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4 of each basin 2 of a pocket wagon 1A, 1B pivoted into a usage position, in which the basin loading surface 20 of the respective basin 2 is positioned at the height of the loading surfaces 120 and 130 of the head piece 12 and of the end piece 13. Thus, a loading surface 120 on the head piece side, the basin loading surface 20 of the basin 2 and a loading surface 130 on the end piece side constitute a continuous wagon loading surface in the manner of a flat wagon, onto which the goods can be driven.

[0089] For predefining the function position of a basin 2 shown in the FIGS. 23A to 27, the locating units 3.1 to 3.4 can also be positioned differently, in particular differently compared with a position on the side members 11.1 and 11.2, which the locating stud unit 3.1 to 3.4 take up for loading the double pocket wagon 1 with one or more 40 foot containers.

[0090] On its lower side, the basin 2 comprises connecting openings in order to be able to place and fix the basin 2 on the locating studs 300 of the locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4. Here, carrying along additional fastening or fixing elements is not necessary. By way of the basin 2 and the fastening elements in the form of the locating stud units 3.1 to 3.4 and 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 provided on the side members 11.1, 11.2 located opposite one another can be configured in almost any way for transporting different goods.

[0091] In providing a continuous wagon loading surface through the basin 2 held on the locating studs 300 in a function position, the ramp assembly 200 of the basin 2 can, furthermore, be present in the second ramp position so that truck tractors L5 to L8 can be driven onto the ramps 201 to 204 and if applicable onto the ramp extensions 205 and 206. In order to make possible driving the truck tractors L5 to L8 onto the continuous wagon loading surface at an end of the double pocket wagon 1, usual loading/unloading ramps 207 and 208 for example are fixed on a head piece 12.
