AIR BAG TYPE CAR HOLDER FOR TRAIN FERRY

In order to mechanize the fixing work of rolling stock carried on a train ferry, a remote-controlled air bag type car holder, which works at a time, has been developed together with its particular controlling device, hoping to take place of the conventional turnbuckle type car lashing apparatus. This report presents the experimental results obtained with respect to the fundamental problems such as the compressibility of air bags, the effect of air bag type car holder upon the side structure of a freight car and a synthetic review on the problems arising from the realistic installation plan and the particular controlling device.
