Definitions
- the invention relates to a floor allowing movement between two vehicles. linked together by an articulated link.
- This floor is in particular intended for a passenger interconnection corridor between two cars of a railway vehicle, such as, for example, trainsets tram, metropolitan or train, or a road vehicle, such as, for example, a bus.
- a railway vehicle such as, for example, trainsets tram, metropolitan or train
- a road vehicle such as, for example, a bus.
- document EP-B- 0 722 873 describes a gateway intercom system comprising several elements sliding together the others and a scissor chassis to prevent the formation of gaps between the elements in the turns.
- the chassis is under spring tension which causes the different elements to recover in place after their deviation in a turn.
- Such a device has the disadvantage of comprising many parts in friction, sensitive to wear. Furthermore, due to the large number of parts, the assembly of this type of gangway is relatively complicated.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a circulation floor between vehicles with a reduced number of moving parts to limit wear by friction, while being able to adapt to the relative movements between the vehicles.
- This floor also has the advantage of being easily mounted on different types of vehicles.
- the floor according to the invention comprises a first pallet which can be fixed to the end of one of the vehicles and a second pallet that can be attached to the end of the other vehicle.
- These two fixed pallets are each partially covered by a movable pallet, and they are connected to each other by two organs deformable.
- Each deformable member comprises two connecting rods hinged to each other and respectively connected in an articulated manner to one and to the other of said pallets fixed.
- Each connecting rod is connected to the other connecting rod by two rods which are hinged together and hingedly attached to each of the connecting rods in one point between a link point of the connecting rod on the fixed pallet and the common point of articulation of the two connecting rods.
- the two rods thus form with the two rods a parallelogram substantially horizontal deformable, the common point of articulation of the two rods being integral with the movable and movable pallet in rotation relative to this movable pallet.
- the movable pallet is thus kinematically guided by the parallelogram deformable during vehicle movements.
- FIG. 1 represents a floor 1 allowing circulation between two vehicles, not shown, connected together by an articulated link not represented.
- the two fixed pallets 2, 3 are thus each partially covered by the movable pallet 4, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the fixed and mobile pallets are of a rigid and resistant material, suitable for withstand slight deformations, such as for example metal or a composite.
- the two fixed pallets 2, 3 are connected to each other by two members deformable 5 of the same type.
- Each deformable member 5 comprises two connecting rods 6 and two connecting rods 7.
- the two connecting rods 6 are articulated to one another by their ends by means an articulation 8 whose axis is perpendicular to the plane of the movable pallet 4.
- Each connecting rod 6 is connected to the other connecting rod 6 by two connecting rods 7.
- the links 7 are connected by a hinge 9, and they are fixed by joints 10 at each of the connecting rods 6.
- the joints 10 are thus located on the connecting rods 6 at a point between a point of articulation of the connecting rod on the fixed pallet and the common articulation 8 of the two connecting rods 6.
- the joints 10 are placed in the middle of the connecting rods 6.
- the two connecting rods 7 thus form with the two connecting rods 6 a parallelogram deformable 5 substantially horizontal.
- the joint 9, common to the two links 7, is integral with the movable pallet 4, while being movable in rotation about an axis perpendicular to this mobile pallet.
- This common articulation 9 is located on a so-called median axis X, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Y, and defining longitudinal symmetry of the movable pallet 4.
- the axes X and Y are shown in Figure 1, the longitudinal direction being defined as that of the vehicle on which the pallets can be mounted.
- the ends of the connecting rods 6 opposite their common articulation 8 are fixed each hinged to an arm 11, itself hingedly connected to a fixed pallet 2, 3.
- Each articulation 12 connecting a connecting rod 6 to an arm 11 has an axis perpendicular to the plane of the movable pallet 4.
- the axis of the articulation 13 connecting an arm 11 to a fixed pallet 2, 3, is parallel in the plane of the fixed pallet 2, 3 and perpendicular to the longitudinal Y axis of the fixed pallet 2, 3.
- the axis of the joint 13 is fixed on a yoke 14 fixed by screws on the underside of the pallets fixed 2, 3.
- the axes of the rods 6 and rods 7, as shown in Figure 2 are substantially parallel to the plane of the movable pallet 4, the axes of the joints 8, 9, 10 and 12 being perpendicular to this plane.
- each parallelogram is therefore perpendicular on the plane formed by the pallets 2, 3, 4 when there is no difference in level between the pallets 2, 3.
- the two deformable parallelograms 5 are symmetrical to each other with respect to the longitudinal axis Y of the movable pallet, the point of articulation common 8 of the connecting rods 6 of each parallelogram being close to said axis longitudinal Y.
- the lengths of the connecting rods 6 and of the connecting rods 7 are such that, for each parallelogram 5, the joint 9 fixed on the movable pallet and the two joints 12 connected to the fixed pallets by the arms 11 are always aligned whatever the relative position of the fixed pallets.
- This characteristic allows the movable pallet 4 to return to the axis of the fixed pallets 2, 3, when the vehicles follow a straight direction.
- the movable pallet 4 rests on the fixed pallets 2, 3 by means of at at least two sliding pads 15 distributed regularly on each of its edges 20 parallel to the median axis X.
- each edge 20 of the movable pallet 4 comprises three pads 15 distributed regularly.
- Each pad 15 is fixed to the edge of the movable pallet 4 by means of a hinge 16 fixed by screws on the edge of the movable pallet.
- Axis 17 of the hinge is parallel to the edge 20 of the movable pallet and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction thereof.
- the pads 15 are made of a wear-resistant material.
- the deformable parallelograms 5 are adjusted so that the space between the movable pallet and fixed pallets is reduced enough to prevent the passage of objects or fingers of a passenger between the pallets.
- a slight prestress applied to the movable pallet also allows compensate for roll.
- the movable pallet 4 thus does not rest directly on the fixed pallets.
- the surface of the fixed pallets 2, 3 on which the pads 15 are capable of move during vehicle movements, is smooth, in order to limit the friction and wear of the pads.
- the other surfaces of the fixed pallets 2, 3 and mobile 4 are rough so avoid slipping of passengers.
- the dimensions and shape of the movable pallet 4 are such that the latter covers each of the fixed pallets 2, 3, in a sufficient area so to maintain this overlap whatever the relative positions of the two vehicles.
- the movable pallet 4 has sufficient flexibility so that it can be deform and to stay in contact with the fixed pallets 2, 3 in the event of movement roll and / or elevation between the two vehicles.
- the low roll angles between the bodies are included in the deformable parallelogram thanks to the games and elastic deformations of the connecting rods and rods.
- the fixed pallets 2 and 3 are fixed to the vehicles by screws. They can by example be fixed on the bodies of vehicles.
- each of the pallets fixed 2, 3 includes a part 18 of rough surface and a part 19 of smooth surface.
- the dimensions of the smooth part 19, derived from the clearance calculations kinematics, are sufficient for the pads 15 not to rest on the rough part 18 whatever the relative positions of the fixed pallets 2, 3, and mobile 4.
- the deformable parallelogram is then fixed on the part 19, the latter being fixed by screws on part 18.
- Part 19 subject to wear can be thus easily changed.
- Part 18 is then fixed to the body of the vehicle.
- This embodiment allows the floor to be easily adapted to different types of vehicles by adapting the dimensions of part 18 of the fixed pallets.
- the floor can thus be easily disassembled and reassembled, on different vehicles.
- transverse edges 20 of the pallets 2, 3 (or parts 18), opposite the transverse edges fixed to the vehicle, form an angle ⁇ between them.
- each articulation point 9 and 12 of each parallelogram 5 remain aligned, each articulation point 9 remaining equidistant from the articulation points 12, so that at the end of the turn, the fixed pallets 2, 3 and mobile 4 will position themselves one by one relation to others so that the median axis X of pallet 4 aligns with the bisector of the angle ⁇ , without requiring the intervention of a return means, such as a spring.
- the axis of the joint 13 being parallel to the plane of the floor, the end of the arm 11 connected to a joint 12 can move in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the floor. This particular articulation allows make up for the differences in level that may form between the different pallets.
- Roll can be resumed at the right of the deformable parallelograms, by example by a silent block at the joints 12 or 13.

Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un plancher permettant de circuler entre deux véhicules reliés ensemble par une liaison articulée.The invention relates to a floor allowing movement between two vehicles. linked together by an articulated link.
Ce plancher est notamment destiné à un couloir d'intercirculation de passagers entre deux voitures d'un véhicule ferroviaire, tel que, par exemple, des rames de tramway, métropolitain ou train, ou d'un véhicule routier, tel que, par exemple, un autobus.This floor is in particular intended for a passenger interconnection corridor between two cars of a railway vehicle, such as, for example, trainsets tram, metropolitan or train, or a road vehicle, such as, for example, a bus.
On connaít déjà de tels planchers d'intercirculation, par les documents WO-A-95/06580 et EP-B-0722875.We already know such floors of traffic, by documents WO-A-95/06580 and EP-B-0722875.
Notamment, le document EP-B- 0 722 873, décrit une passerelle d'intercommunication comprenant plusieurs éléments coulissant les uns dans les autres et un châssis à ciseaux permettant d'éviter la formation de lacunes entre les éléments dans les virages.In particular, document EP-B- 0 722 873 describes a gateway intercom system comprising several elements sliding together the others and a scissor chassis to prevent the formation of gaps between the elements in the turns.
Dans le dispositif décrit par le document EP-B- 0 722 873, le châssis est sous tension de ressort ce qui a pour effet que les différents éléments se remettent en place après leur déviation dans un virage.In the device described in document EP-B- 0 722 873, the chassis is under spring tension which causes the different elements to recover in place after their deviation in a turn.
Un tel dispositif présente l'inconvénient de comprendre de nombreuses pièces en frottement, sensibles à l'usure. Par ailleurs, du fait du grand nombre de pièces, le montage de ce type de passerelle est relativement compliqué.Such a device has the disadvantage of comprising many parts in friction, sensitive to wear. Furthermore, due to the large number of parts, the assembly of this type of gangway is relatively complicated.
La présente invention a pour objet de réaliser un plancher de circulation entre véhicules comprenant un nombre réduit de pièces mobiles afin de limiter l'usure par frottement, tout en étant apte à s'adapter aux mouvements relatifs entre les véhicules.The object of the present invention is to provide a circulation floor between vehicles with a reduced number of moving parts to limit wear by friction, while being able to adapt to the relative movements between the vehicles.
Ce plancher présente également l'avantage de pouvoir être monté facilement sur différents types de véhicules.This floor also has the advantage of being easily mounted on different types of vehicles.
A cet effet, le plancher selon l'invention comprend une première palette pouvant être fixée à l'extrémité de l'un des véhicules et une seconde palette pouvant être fixée à l'extrémité de l'autre véhicule. Ces deux palettes fixes sont recouvertes chacune partiellement par une palette mobile, et elles sont reliées l'une à l'autre par deux organes déformables.To this end, the floor according to the invention comprises a first pallet which can be fixed to the end of one of the vehicles and a second pallet that can be attached to the end of the other vehicle. These two fixed pallets are each partially covered by a movable pallet, and they are connected to each other by two organs deformable.
Chaque organe déformable comprend deux bielles articulées l'une à l'autre et respectivement reliées de façon articulée à l'une et à l'autre des dites palettes fixes. Chaque bielle est reliée à l'autre bielle par deux biellettes qui sont articulées ensemble et fixées de façon articulée à chacune des bielles en un point compris entre un point d'articulation de la bielle sur la palette fixe et le point d'articulation commun des deux bielles.Each deformable member comprises two connecting rods hinged to each other and respectively connected in an articulated manner to one and to the other of said pallets fixed. Each connecting rod is connected to the other connecting rod by two rods which are hinged together and hingedly attached to each of the connecting rods in one point between a link point of the connecting rod on the fixed pallet and the common point of articulation of the two connecting rods.
Les deux biellettes forment ainsi avec les deux bielles un parallélogramme déformable sensiblement horizontal, le point d'articulation commun des deux biellettes étant solidaire de la palette mobile et mobile en rotation par rapport à cette palette mobile.The two rods thus form with the two rods a parallelogram substantially horizontal deformable, the common point of articulation of the two rods being integral with the movable and movable pallet in rotation relative to this movable pallet.
La palette mobile est ainsi guidée cinématiquement par le parallélogramme déformable lors des mouvements des véhicules.The movable pallet is thus kinematically guided by the parallelogram deformable during vehicle movements.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaítront encore dans la description ci-après.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the description below.

Le plancher comprend :
- une première palette 2 pouvant être fixée à l'extrémité de l'un des véhicules ;

- a first pallet 2 which can be fixed to the end of one of the vehicles;

second pallet 3 which can be fixed to the end of the other vehicle; - a movable pallet 4 resting on the
fixed pallets 2 and 3.
Les deux palettes fixes 2, 3 sont ainsi recouvertes chacune partiellement par la
palette mobile 4, tel que représenté sur les figures 2 et 3.The two
Les palettes fixes et mobiles sont d'un matériau rigide et résistant, apte à supporter de légères déformations, tel que par exemple du métal ou un composite.The fixed and mobile pallets are of a rigid and resistant material, suitable for withstand slight deformations, such as for example metal or a composite.
Les deux palettes fixes 2, 3 sont reliées l'une à l'autre par deux organes
déformables 5 de même type.The two
Chaque organe déformable 5 comprend deux bielles 6 et deux biellettes 7.Each
Les deux bielles 6 sont articulées l'une à l'autre par leurs extrémités au moyen
d'une articulation 8 dont l'axe est perpendiculaire au plan de la palette mobile 4.The two connecting

articulée à l'une et à l'autre des dites palettes fixes 2, 3.The ends of the connecting
Chaque bielle 6 est reliée à l'autre bielle 6 par deux biellettes 7.Each connecting
Les biellettes 7 sont reliées par une articulation 9, et elles sont fixées par des
articulations 10 à chacune des bielles 6.The
Les articulations 10 sont ainsi situées sur les bielles 6 en un point compris entre
un point d'articulation de la bielle sur la palette fixe et l'articulation commune 8 des deux bielles 6.The
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, les articulations 10 sont
placées au milieu des bielles 6.In the embodiment shown in the figures, the
Les deux biellettes 7 forment ainsi avec les deux bielles 6 un parallélogramme
déformable 5 sensiblement horizontal. The two connecting
L'articulation 9, commune aux deux biellettes 7, est solidaire de la palette mobile
4, tout en étant mobile en rotation autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à cette
palette mobile.The
Cette articulation commune 9 est située sur un axe X dit médian, perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal Y, et définissant symétrie longitudinale de la
palette mobile 4. Les axes X et Y sont représentés sur la figure 1, la
direction longitudinale étant définie comme étant celle du véhicule
sur lequel les palettes peuvent être montées.This
Les extrémités des bielles 6 opposées à leur articulation commune 8 sont fixées
chacune de façon articulée à un bras 11, lui-même relié de façon articulée à une
palette fixe 2, 3.The ends of the connecting
Chaque articulation 12 reliant une bielle 6 à un bras 11 présente un axe
perpendiculaire au plan de la palette mobile 4.Each
L'axe de l'articulation 13 reliant un bras 11 à une palette fixe 2, 3, est parallèle
au plan de la palette fixe 2, 3 et perpendiculaire à l'axe Y longitudinale de la palette fixe 2, 3.The axis of the
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 2, l'axe de l'articulation 13
est fixé sur une chape 14 fixée par des vis sur la face inférieure des palettes
fixes 2, 3.In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the axis of the
L'association des deux articulations 13 permet ainsi de compenser les variations
de hauteur induites par le mouvement relatif des deux véhicules.The association of the two
Les axes des bielles 6 et biellettes 7, tels que représentés sur la figure 2, sont
sensiblement parallèles au plan de la palette mobile 4, les axes des articulations
8, 9, 10 et 12 étant perpendiculaires à ce plan.The axes of the
Les axes d'articulation de chaque parallélogramme sont donc perpendiculaires
au plan formé par les palettes 2, 3, 4 lorsqu'il n'existe pas de dénivelé entre les
palettes 2, 3.The axes of articulation of each parallelogram are therefore perpendicular
on the plane formed by the
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 1, les palettes fixes 2, 3 et
mobile 4 étant alignées selon la direction longitudinale, les deux parallélogrammes déformables 5
sont symétriques entre eux par rapport à l'axe longitudinal Y de la palette mobile,
le point d'articulation
commun 8 des bielles 6 de chaque parallélogramme étant proche dudit axe
longitudinal Y.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the
Les longueurs des bielles 6 et des biellettes 7 sont telles que, pour chaque
parallélogramme 5, l'articulation 9 fixée sur la palette mobile et les deux
articulations 12 reliées aux palettes fixes par les bras 11 sont toujours alignées
quelque soit la position relative des palettes fixes.The lengths of the connecting
Cette caractéristique permet à la palette mobile 4 de revenir dans l'axe des
palettes fixes 2, 3, lorsque les véhicules suivent une direction rectiligne.This characteristic allows the movable pallet 4 to return to the axis of the
La palette mobile 4 repose sur les palettes fixes 2, 3 par l'intermédiaire d'au
moins deux patins 15 de glissement répartis régulièrement sur chacun de ses
bords 20 parallèles à l'axe médian X.The movable pallet 4 rests on the
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, chaque bord 20
de la palette mobile 4 comprend trois patins 15 répartis régulièrement.In the embodiment shown in the figures, each
Chaque patin 15 est fixé sur le bord de la palette mobile 4 au moyen d'une
charnière 16 fixée par des vis sur le bord de la palette mobile. L'axe 17 de la
charnière est parallèle au bord 20 de la palette mobile et perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale de celle-ci.Each
Les patins 15 sont réalisés en un matériau résistant à l'usure.The
Les parallélogrammes déformables 5 sont réglés de sorte que l'espace entre la
palette mobile et les palettes fixes soit suffisamment réduit pour empêcher le
passage d'objets ou de doigts d'un passager entre les palettes.The
Une légère précontrainte appliquée sur la palette mobile permet par ailleurs de compenser le roulis. A slight prestress applied to the movable pallet also allows compensate for roll.
La palette mobile 4 ne repose ainsi pas directement sur les palettes fixes. Les
patins 15, reliés à la palette mobile 4, font office de pièces d'usures
interchangeables.The movable pallet 4 thus does not rest directly on the fixed pallets. The
La surface des palettes fixes 2, 3 sur laquelle les patins 15 sont susceptibles de
se déplacer lors des mouvements des véhicules, est lisse, afin de limiter le
frottement et l'usure des patins.The surface of the fixed
Les autres surfaces des palettes fixes 2, 3 et mobiles 4 sont rugueuses afin
d'éviter les glissades des passagers.The other surfaces of the fixed
Les dimensions et la forme de la palette mobile 4 sont telles que cette dernière
recouvre chacune des palettes fixes 2, 3, selon une surface suffisante de façon
à maintenir ce recouvrement quelque soit les positions relatives des deux
véhicules.The dimensions and shape of the movable pallet 4 are such that the latter
covers each of the fixed
La palette mobile 4 présente une souplesse suffisante de manière à pouvoir se
déformer et pour rester en contact des palettes fixes 2, 3 en cas de mouvement
de roulis et/ou de dénivelé entre les deux véhicules.The movable pallet 4 has sufficient flexibility so that it can be
deform and to stay in contact with the fixed
Les faibles angulations de roulis entre les caisses sont reprises dans le parallélogramme déformable grâce aux jeux et aux déformations élastiques des bielles et biellettes.The low roll angles between the bodies are included in the deformable parallelogram thanks to the games and elastic deformations of the connecting rods and rods.
Les palettes fixes 2 et 3 sont fixées aux véhicules par des vis. Elles peuvent par
exemple être fixées sur les caisses des véhicules.The fixed
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 3, chacune des palettes
fixes 2, 3, comprend une partie 18 de surface rugueuse et une partie 19 de
surface lisse.In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, each of the pallets
fixed 2, 3, includes a
Les dimensions de la partie lisse 19, issues des calculs de débattement
cinématique, sont suffisantes pour que les patins 15 ne reposent pas sur la
partie rugueuse 18 quelques soient les positions relatives des palettes fixes 2, 3,
et mobile 4.The dimensions of the
Le parallélogramme déformable est alors fixé sur la partie 19, celle-ci étant fixée
par visserie sur la partie 18. La partie 19 soumise à l'usure peut être ainsi
facilement changée.The deformable parallelogram is then fixed on the
La partie 18 est alors fixée sur la caisse du véhicule.
Ce mode de réalisation permet d'adapter facilement le plancher à différents
types de véhicules en adaptant les dimensions de la partie 18 des palettes fixes.This embodiment allows the floor to be easily adapted to different
types of vehicles by adapting the dimensions of
Le plancher peut ainsi être aisément démonté et remonté, sur différents véhicules.The floor can thus be easily disassembled and reassembled, on different vehicles.
Le fonctionnement du plancher selon l'invention est maintenant décrit en détail en référence à la figure 3.The operation of the floor according to the invention is now described in detail. with reference to Figure 3.
On définit, pour chaque parallélogramme 5, un angle α formé par les bielles 6
entre elles et un angle β formé par les biellettes 7 entre elles.We define, for each
Les bords transversaux 20 des palettes 2, 3 (ou des parties 18), opposés aux
bords transversaux fixés au véhicule, forment entre eux un angle γ.The
Lors du franchissement d'une courbe, tel qu'un virage à droite représenté sur la
figure 3, les points d'articulation 12 du parallélogramme 5 proche du centre de
courbure se rapprochent l'un de l'autre. Ce rapprochement provoque une
diminution des angles α et β.When crossing a curve, such as a right turn shown on the
FIG. 3, the articulation points 12 of the
Au contraire, les points d'articulation 12 du parallélogramme 5 distant du centre
de courbure s'éloignent l'un de l'autre. Cet éloignement provoque une
augmentation des angles α et β. On the contrary, the articulation points 12 of the
Lors de ce mouvement, les points d'articulation 9 et 12 de chaque
parallélogramme 5 restent alignés, chaque point d'articulation 9 restant
équidistant des points d'articulation 12, de sorte qu'en sortie du virage, les
palettes fixes 2, 3 et mobile 4 vont se positionner d'elles mêmes les unes par
rapport aux autres de manière que l'axe médian X de la palette 4 s'aligne avec
la bissectrice de l'angle γ, sans nécessiter l'intervention d'un moyen de rappel,
tel qu'un ressort.During this movement, the articulation points 9 and 12 of each
L'axe de l'articulation 13 étant parallèle au plan du plancher, l'extrémité du bras
11 reliée à une articulation 12 peut se déplacer suivant une direction
perpendiculaire au plan du plancher. Cette articulation particulière permet de
rattraper les différences de niveau pouvant se former entre les différentes
palettes.The axis of the joint 13 being parallel to the plane of the floor, the end of the
Les éventuels mouvements de roulis sont quant à eux supportés par la palette mobile 4 grâce à une certaine souplesse en flexion de cette dernière.Any roll movements are supported by the pallet mobile 4 thanks to a certain flexibility in bending of the latter.
Le roulis peut être repris au droit des parallélogrammes déformables, par
exemple par un silent bloc au niveau des articulations 12 ou 13.Roll can be resumed at the right of the deformable parallelograms, by
example by a silent block at the

- A floor according to any one of Claims 1 to 3, characterised in that the common articulation point (9) of two connecting rods (7) fixed to the movable pallet (4) is situated on a so-called median axis (X), perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (Y) of the floor and defining a longitudinal symmetry of the said movable pallet (4).
- A floor according to Claim 4, characterised in that, the fixed (2, 3) and movable (4) pallets being aligned in the longitudinal direction, the two deformable parallelograms are symmetrical with each other with respect to the longitudinal axis Y of the movable pallet (4), the common articulation point (8) of the links (6) of each parallelogram being close to the said longitudinal axis (Y).
- A floor according to any one of Claims 1 to 5, characterised in that the lengths of the links (6) and connecting rods (7) are such that the common articulation (9) of the connecting rods (7), fixed to the movable pallet (4), and the articulations (12) of the links (6) connected to the fixed pallets (2, 3) are aligned whatever the relative positions of the fixed (2, 3) and movable (4) pallets.
- A floor according to any one of Claims 1 to 6, characterised in that the movable pallet (4) overlaps each of the fixed pallets (2, 3) over a sufficient surface so as to maintain this overlap whatever the relative positions of the two vehicles.
- A floor according to any one of Claims 1 to 7, characterised in that the movable pallet (4) has sufficient flexibility so as to be able to deform and remain in contact with the fixed pallets (2, 3) in the event of a rolling movement or a difference in level between the two vehicles.
- A floor according to any one of Claims 1 to 8, characterised in that the movable pallet (4) rests on the fixed pallets (2, 3) by means of at least two sliding runners (15) distributed regularly on each of its edges (20) parallel to the median axis (X).
- A floor according to Claim 9, characterised in that the sliding runners (15) are fixed in an articulated fashion to the movable pallet (4) on an axis parallel to the plane of the movable pallet and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction thereof.
