A method of producing a rail-bound rail vehicle for passenger transport, includes providing at least one trough-like superstructure with a floor and adjoining side walls formed in a framework construction from side-wall posts, lower longitudinal members and upper longitudinal flanges or chords. The upper longitudinal flanges are supported against one another by connecting members. The side walls have windows and access areas with doors. The side-wall posts are disposed in a zigzag manner and are rigidly connected to the lower longitudinal members and the upper longitudinal flanges, and serve as supporting elements for the windows and side paneling elements fastened thereto. The superstructure is assembled from shaped pieces and bar parts which have been cut to length. The bar parts fitted together with the shaped pieces are aligned, connecting surfaces between the bar parts and the shaped pieces are provided with a bonding agent, the bar parts and shaped pieces to be connected are subsequently bonded, the bonding agent is set, and attachment of exterior paneling and windows is then carried out by a thick-film bonding technique.

Rail vehicle

A device for coupling and uncoupling two parts which are movable relative to each other, particularly parts of the drives of vehicles, for instance for high-speed power vehicles, by means of a length-variable guide rod. On the tubular guide rod segment there is arranged a housing having a cylinder chamber in which the cylindrical part of the axially shiftable guide rod segment extends, this cylindrical part being provided with engaging portions for annular pistons which surround it. Two annular pistons are supports for a preloaded coil spring arranged therebetween, and upon pulling or compressive force, one of the spring-loaded annular pistons, depending upon the direction of force, is axially shifted against the preloaded coil spring by the corresponding engaging portion of the cylindrical rod part of the guide rod segment. At least one spring-loaded annular piston can be acted upon by pressure medium introduced into the cylinder chamber through an associated connection, and can be fixed in its acted-upon end position by means of a locking device located on the housing, with the guide rod segment being axially free, or shiftable at a lower force level, relative to the fixed annular piston by a given distance. The annular piston which is securely held by the locking device, after cancelling the positive connection and discharging the pressure medium from the cylinder chamber, is returned to its starting position by the pressure of the coil spring.
