Device for protection for passengers from injuries during a collision of railway trains

摘要

A device for protecting the passenger compartment of rail vehicles during a collision of railway trains, in which device at least two, preferably three, successive, stable carriers (1, 3 and 6) extending transversely with respect to the direction of travel are provided at the head side in the underframe and/or in the roof part, between which carriers (1, 3 and 6), impact-absorbing and deformable elements (2,4) which preferably consist of corrugated sheet metal are provided. The depressions and peaks of the corrugations extend in the direction of travel. The head-side carrier has, in plan view, a triangular shape with flattened tip and is constructed at the underframe as a buffer carrier (1). The further stable carrier (3) which is arranged with the intermediate connection of a deformation element (2) is constructed to be congruent with the carrier (1). IMAGE
