GONDOLA CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION OF LOOSE MATERIALS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B61D3/00 B65D88/60 B61D17/04 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to railway transport for transportation of dissimilar materials when car is filled with one type of granular material in forward and other types – in reverse direction. Gondola car for transportation of loose materials comprises frame with coupling and braking devices and body fixed on frame, formed by two side walls and two end walls with flooring. In the middle of the floor there is a baffle with a possibility of rotation, which consists of lower (12) and upper (13) sections connected by a longitudinal hinge, lower section (12) of which is equal to half the width, and upper one (13) – to the body height. On each side of the partition wall at the ends of the upper and lower sections and in the middle of the end walls of the body in the vertical plane additional elastic end sections (15, 16) are fixed, each of which is equal to half of the end wall of the body. Upper section is equipped with double-side grip (23) engaged with top of corresponding body wall. Body is equipped with folding roof with flanging, on which along perimeter grommets for fixation of roof on hooks on walls of body are made. Lower and upper sections of partition are made of rigid, and end sections and roof is made of rubberized material.

EFFECT: invention reduces costs for transportation of loose materials due to elimination of gondola car crossings without empty racks, and also protects loose materials from sediments and eliminates losses from blowing.
