Patent number: 11299184Abstract: A railcar bogie includes: a protection target member of the railcar bogie; and a protective film including an adhesive surface stuck to the protection target member. The protective film is configured such that an impact absorbing layer and a flame-retardant layer are laminated in this order from the protection target member side. The impact absorbing layer is thicker than the flame-retardant layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takehiro Nishimura, Yousuke Tsumura, Fumihide Inamura, Katsuyuki Kawashima, Ikko Hanaki, Yuhei Tanaka

Patent number: 8424462Abstract: To adequately maintain recyclability of a railcar bodyshell while improving the appearance, manufacturing accuracy, and producibility of the railcar bodyshell. A railcar bodyshell includes: a metal side outside plate 2 having openings 2b to 2d; a plurality of metal horizontal frame members 3 joined to an inner surface of the side outside plate 2 and extending in a railcar front-rear direction; a plurality of metal vertical frame members 4 joined to the inner surface of the side outside plate 2 and extending in a railcar upper-lower direction; and carbon fiber reinforced resin members 5A to 5D each joined to a predetermined portion on the inner surface of the side outside plate 2, the predetermined portion including a corner portion of each of peripheral portions 2f to 2h respectively defining openings 2b to 2d or a part of a portion between the vertical frame members 4.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2010Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Kawasaki Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomonori Umebayashi, Fumihide Inamura, Hiroshi Sugiura
