System of a side skirt for a car of a multi-car vehicle and a side skirt support

Car of a multi-car vehicle, the car having an underframe and a coupler that is suitable to couple the car to a neighboring car of the multi-car vehicle, the coupler being attached to the underframe, wherein:

• the coupler has a coupler head and a coupler rod attached to the coupler head, the coupler rod being attached to the underframe by way of a coupler rod joint that allows the coupler rod to swivel relative to the underframe, wherein the coupler rod has a neutral position and can swivel towards one side of the neutral position and can swivel to the opposite side of the neutral position,
• the car further having a system of a side skirt and a side skirt support, the side skirt being suitable to cover a space below the underframe of the car from a side, the side skirt having a coupler side edge that forms a side of the side skirt, the coupler side edge being suitable to be arranged next to a coupler head of the car, the side skirt also having a rear side, wherein a reference line is defined to be a line that connects a point on the coupler side edge with a point on the rear side, wherein
• the side skirt support is configured to attach the side skirt to the underframe of the car,
• the side skirt support has a bar that has a first joint, the first joint being suitable to be attached to the underframe to allow the bar to rotate relative to the underframe, wherein the bar is attached to a part of the side skirt by way of a second joint that allows the part of the side skirt to rotate relative to the bar,
• wherein the side skirt and the side skirt support have a normal position, in which the bar is arranged to point into a first direction, and wherein the side skirt and the side skirt support have a displaced position, in which the bar is arranged to point into a second direction, wherein the reference line (YY) is pointing into a normal position direction, when the side skirt and the side skirt support are in the normal position, and the reference line (YY) is pointing into a displaced position direction, when the side skirt and the side skirt support are in the displaced position, wherein a rotation controller limits the amount of rotation that the side skirt performs between the normal position and the displaced position, such that:
• the normal position direction is equal to or parallel to the displaced position direction, or the angle between the normal position direction and the displaced position direction is smaller than 30°, and wherein
• the bar of the side skirt support is attached to the underframe to allow the bar to rotate relative to the underframe via the first joint;
• and
• when the coupler rod is in the neutral position, the side skirt partially covers a space below the underframe from a side, the coupler side edge of the side skirt being arranged next to the coupler head.
