Abstract
A substructure of the body of a vehicle such as a railroad car is formed by linking first and second beams with each other. The first beams are formed of first and second members each having locking grooves, and the second beams are arranged at intervals perpendicular to the first beams, thus realizing, for example a thin-walled substructure. By virtue of the locking grooves formed thereon, the first members allow the attachment of seats or the like, and the second members allow the suspension of underfloor equipment.
Claims21
A vehicle body comprising first and second beams connected together, said second beams extending perpendicular to said first beams and arranged at intervals longitudinally along said first beams, at least one of said first beams having first and second members each having a locking grove for receiving a head of a bolt, and a web connecting said first and second members with each other, said first and second members also including mounting sections, each having an outwardly facing surface which defines a plane, and a portion of each of said first and second members in which said locking groove is formed projecting outwardly from each of said outwardly facing surfaces.
