October 29, 2014
Transition (5) between two articulated vehicles (3, 4) connected to each other, comprising a bellows (6) with bellows corners (10) arranged in the corner region, with at least one bellows section (20) adjoining the bellows corners (10) and oriented horizontally in the installed state, wherein the horizontally oriented at least one bellows section (20) has a plurality of waves or folds running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, wherein in the case of a horizontally oriented bellows section (20) with a reduced depth of the individual waves or folds, to compensate for the resulting reduced extension travel, the horizontally oriented bellows section (20) is designed to be elastically yielding in itself.
