Abstract
A device for connecting the gangway bellows cover and the chassis of articulated vehicles includes a connecting element (2) having a hooking portion (3) which can be connected to an end edge (101a) of a gangway bellows cover (101), and an engagement portion (4) which can be inserted in a compartment (400) formed by a rigid support (300) belonging to the vehicle chassis and abutted to at least a first inner wall (310) of the compartment (400). The device also includes an elastically deformable insertion element (10) which is also positioned in the compartment (400) between the connecting element (2) and a second inner wall (320), so as to stably engage the engagement portion (4) against the first inner wall (310).
Claims19
A device for connecting a gangway bellows cover and a chassis of an articulated vehicle, comprising:
- a compartment formed by a rigid support of the vehicle chassis;
- a connecting element having a hooking portion which can be connected to an end edge of a gangway bellows cover, and an engagement portion which can be inserted in the compartment and abutted to at least a first inner wall of the compartment;
- an elastically deformable insertion element made of rubber and positioned in the compartment between the connecting element and a second inner wall of the compartment, so as to stably engage the engagement portion against the first inner wall;
- wherein the connecting element is made of a metal material;
- wherein the engagement portion comprises:
- a first surface for contact with the first wall having at least a first undercut for hooking with a recess made in the first wall;
- and a second surface for contact with the insertion element, having a second undercut for hooking with at least one projecting portion of the insertion element.
