ABSTRACT:
An articulated bridge as a component of a detachable gangway floor plate between two articulated interconnected railroad cars, the bridge being provided with several elongated bridge elements arranged in succession laterally, and running transverse to the direction of the bridge. The articulated extremities of the bridge are defined by the side walls of a frame approximately following the contours of the bridge. One end section of the bridge is designed for attachment to one of the two interconnected railroad cars and the other end section of the bridge is designed for attachment to the corresponding end section of an articulated bridge of the other of the two interconnected railroad cars, both end sections running in the transverse direction of the bridge. The end section of the frame runs in the transverse direction of the bridge, which is allocated to one of the interconnected railroad cars, and is carried in a carriage which is adjustable in a trough of the railroad car, in the longitudinal direction of the bridge, in a path of positioning movement derived from the longitudinal clearance of the coupling between the two railroad cars.
