Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1270361A1] The invention relates to a lower locking mechanism for keeping the rigid covers (10) of a railway freight wagon in their closed positions (K), whereby they close the wagon space (50). In their open position (A), when moved outwards from the wagon space, the covers (10) are movable over the covers in the closed position in the longitudinal direction of the wagon by means of a lower shift mechanism, which comprises transport rollers (3) in the covers, stationary run rails (2) in the wagon frame for the transport rollers, and pivot axles that are movable around the centre lines (14) that run in the longitudinal direction of the wagon, lifting and auxiliary rail sections (7) fixed to said axles and adapted to fit into the openings (20) of the run rails (2). The locking mechanism further comprises locking hooks (30), rigidly fixed to these pivot axles (4) and moving through holes (31), located in the area of the lower edges (13) of the covers (10), the cam (32) of the locking hook being located behind lower spans (34) in the closed position of the cover. <IMAGE>
