HEAVY-DUTY ALIGNING ARTICULATED JOINT WITH ROCKING PLATE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B61G5/02 B61G9/06 B61G9/24 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: in the first version, heavy-duty aligning articulated joint with rocking plate contains resilient washer located on end part of tie rod from the side of compressing action. The end part of tie rod with spring cylindrical support located from the side of compressing action connects tie rod via end plates of tender coupling with plates of thrust bearing of bottom frames which plates are located at car side. Aligning articulated joint rocking plate is located in between end plate of tender coupling and thrust bearing plates. Rocking plate rolling surface is located on rocking plate or on one of transmitting subsequent compressive force of binding faces between rocking plate of aligning articulated joint and parts accommodated at the side of tender coupling or at the side of thrust bearing. Spring buffers with their pressure contact surfaces form similar to supporting separator space for accommodation of resilient washer. In the second version, heavy-duty aligning articulated joint with rocking plate has "combined shockproof design" to increase acting returning effect of aligning articulated joint in emergency situations. Distance between transfer end upsetting points is equal to or greater than distance between spring buffers.

EFFECT: reduction of mounting space, lowering the dead-weight of car sections and providing damping when longitudinal compressive forces are high.
