Abstract

The invention relates to a railway goods wagon with an underframe (5) which is borne by sets of running gear and has an essentially level loading platform (1) and longitudinal beams (6) which are constructed as fish beams in the region between the sets of running gear (7), and the loading space is bounded by end walls (2) which are permanently connected to the underframe (5), a roof shell (3) and side walls which consist of sliding wall components (4), which can be displaced and swivelled out, or by raisable, swivelling-out entire wall components which can be displaced one on top of the other and form the roof and the side walls. The object of the invention consisted in finding a possible way, for a railway goods wagon of the type mentioned at the beginning, of using the sliding wall components and entire wall components, which bound the loading space, to transmit horizontal and vertical forces in the closed state of the railway goods wagon. This object is achieved in that the sliding wall components (4) or the entire wall components, in the closed position, are clamped at their end wall-side longitudinal ends at the top in their vertical region to the end wall (2) and at their longitudinal end facing the longitudinal centre of the wagon are clamped at the bottom to the underframe (5) in a positively engaging fashion and the sliding wall components or entire wall components are constructed in their vertical area between the clamped attachment to the end wall (2) and the clamped attachment to the underframe (5) so as to transfer tensile forces and pressure forces. <IMAGE>
