Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1310416A1] Collision protection device for rail vehicles without side buffers at the front comprises energy-absorbing elements (1) arranged in the usual region of the side buffers and suitable for coming into contact with the buffer plate of the side buffers (2) of a second rail vehicle. The energy-absorbing element is designed as a pot (1a) whose opening faces forward in the impact direction and is filled with energy-absorbing material. The pot is fixed to a pressure piece (5) which is connected to the rail vehicle body over a stage (7) so that it can be longitudinally displaced relative to the rail vehicle body (6) to absorb additional deformation energy. Devices for the driver including his seat (8) fixed on the pressure piece are longitudinally displaced together with the pressure piece into the vehicle interior. <??>Preferred Features: The pot has a load-bearing casing forming a longitudinal guide and preventing lateral yielding of the penetrating side buffer.
