The underframe includes a first end beam, a second end beam, and a sliding center sill connecting the first end beam and the second end beam with each other. The sliding center sill includes a first beam member connected to the first end beam, a second beam member connected to the second end beam, and a coupling member coupling the first beam member to the second beam member. The first beam member slides relative to the second beam member when the coupling member breaks by application of an impact load higher than a predetermined load. The sliding center sill and the energy absorber are arranged in a region located between the first end beam and the second end beam. | 10-22-2015 |
20150367863 | FLOOR STRUCTURE OF RAILCAR AND RAILCAR INCLUDING SAME - A floor structure of a railcar includes: a pair of side sills extending in a railcar longitudinal direction; cross beams extending in a railcar width direction and coupling the pair of side sills; a supporting member, which is arranged on upper surfaces of the cross beams, in which bottom surface portions and convex portions projecting upward from the bottom surface portions are alternately, continuously formed in the railcar width direction, and which extends in the railcar longitudinal direction; receiving members located at positions corresponding to the cross beams, arranged on an upper surface of the supporting member, and extending in the railcar width direction; and a floor panel arranged on upper surfaces of the receiving members. The receiving members include: a floor plate contact portion that contacts the floor panel; and leg portions, extending from the floor plate contact portion to the bottom surface portion of the supporting member. | 12-24-2015 |
20160001789 | RAILCAR BODYSHELL - A railcar bodyshell includes: a plurality of modules into which at least one of a floor portion, side portion, and roof portion of the bodyshell is divided in a car longitudinal direction; and an elongated member extending in the car longitudinal direction, the plurality of modules being attached to the elongated member. The elongated member includes a groove portion for fixing the plurality of modules to the elongated member the groove portion extending in the car longitudinal direction. | 01-07-2016 |
20160074957 | FRICTION STIR WELDING APPARATUS AND FRICTION STIR WELDING METHOD - A friction stir welding apparatus includes: a rotating shaft, on which a thread for friction stirring is formed; and a drive unit rotatably supporting the rotating shaft. A rotating shoulder configured to rotate together with the rotating shaft to generate frictional heat between the rotating shoulder and back surfaces of workpieces is fixed to a distal end of the rotating shaft. The rotating shoulder is pushed against the back surfaces of the workpieces by a pushing mechanism.
