  • Patent number: 12246760
    Abstract: An anti-climber device for a rail vehicle includes an impact plate having a plurality of protruding formations, wherein the profile of the formations when the anti-climber device is in the installed position is formed as a polygonal curve with a repeating sequence of sections that rise and fall relative to the horizontal, where the extent of the formations above the surface of the impact plate follows a polygonal curve with a repeating sequence of rising and falling sections.

  • Patent number: 9988061
    Abstract: A rail vehicle including at least one deformation zone arranged at each end side, where the deformation zone has a collision frame, a multiplicity of deformation elements and two A pillars, where the deformation elements are oriented radially about the front structure of the wagon body and are respectively connected at one of their ends to the wagon body, and where the collision frame connects the ends, facing away from the wagon body, of the deformation elements and is arranged about the front structure of the wagon body in an arcuate manner, and where the two A pillars each extend between the wagon body and the collision frame and are permanently connected to the collision frame.

  • Patent number: 9421985
    Abstract: A rail vehicle having an attached deformation zone is presented. The rail vehicle has at least one end transverse beam provided in an end face region and corner pillars arranged substantially vertically and extend from the end transverse beam. The deformation zone is provided at the end face having a front transverse beam arranged parallel to the end transverse beam and spaced therefrom in an end-face direction and at least one force transmission element arranged between the end transverse beam and the front transverse beam. The element transmits longitudinal compressive forces between the end transverse beam and the front transverse beam without plastic deformation up to a defined value and failing when the defined value is exceeded.
