The invention relates to an articulated coupling between a first car () and a second car of a vehicle, especially a railway vehicle, having at least two cars, said articulated coupling including a first element () capable of being connected to said first car () and a second element () capable of being connected to said second car, a device for moving said second element () in translation relative to said first element () in the event of an impact, and an energy absorber capable of being arranged between said first () and second () cars. The energy absorber is arranged between said first () and second () elements, and in the first element () is designed to allow persons to pass between said first car () and said second car.

Articulated coupling between a first car and a second car of a vehicle, especially a railway vehicle

A swivel coupling for coupling together two vehicles, in particular two rail vehicles. The swivel coupling rests on a shared bogie between the two vehicles and has a rotation function and a shock-absorbing function. Each of these functions is performed by distinct elements of the swivel coupling structure.

Swivel coupling

A system enables two vehicles to tilt at different angles, wherein one of the vehicles includes a supporting end and the other vehicle includes a supported end, where the vehicle having the supporting end and the vehicle having the supported end are associated with a bogey. A supported ring is used with the supported end of the vehicle in such a manner that rotation is possible between the supported ring and the vehicle having the supported end.
