Abstract
The invention relates to a device for pivoting one or more front flaps (1a, 1b) of a track-guided vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle. To achieve that the front flap can be opened and closed without friction and that it does not have any visible joints, the invention provides that the device comprises at least one carrier element (2) which, on the one hand, is connected with the front flap (1a, 1b) and, on the other hand, with the vehicle undercarriage, wherein the carrier element (2) can be pivoted in the horizontal plane relative to the vehicle undercarriage, and which is designed to change, during the pivoting, the front flap (1a, 1b) from a closed position into an opened position and vice versa. Furthermore, the device comprises an activation element (3) which, on the one hand, is connected with the at least one carrier element (2) and, on the other hand, with the vehicle undercarriage for pivoting the at least one carrier element (2) relative to the vehicle undercarriage. The at least one carrier element (2) comprises a shift mechanism which is designed to move the front flap (1a, 1b) especially in closed condition in longitudinal direction of the carrier element (2).
