Abstract

A railcar bogie includes: a protection target member of the railcar bogie; and a protective film including an adhesive surface stuck to the protection target member. The protective film is configured such that an impact absorbing layer and a flame-retardant layer are laminated in this order from the protection target member side. The impact absorbing layer is thicker than the flame-retardant layer.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A railcar bogie comprising:
a protection target member; and
a protective film including an adhesive surface stuck to the protection target member, wherein:
the protective film is configured such that an impact absorbing layer and a flame-retardant layer are laminated in this order from the protection target member side; and
the impact absorbing layer is thicker than the flame-retardant layer.

2. The railcar bogie according to claim 1 , wherein:
an adhesive layer including the adhesive surface is laminated on the impact absorbing layer from the protection target member side; and
adhesive force of the adhesive layer with respect to the protection target member is smaller than adhesive force of the impact absorbing layer with respect to the adhesive layer.

3. The railcar bogie according to claim 1 , wherein adhesive force of the adhesive surface with respect to the protection target member is 5 N/20 mm or more and 35 N/20 mm or less.

4. The railcar bogie according to claim 1 , wherein:
a colored layer is laminated between the flame-retardant layer and the impact absorbing layer; and
the flame-retardant layer is transparent or semitransparent.

5. The railcar bogie according to claim 1 , wherein the flame-retardant layer is resin selected from polyimide and vinyl chloride, thermoplastic resin containing a flame retardant, a glass fiber sheet, or a metal film.

6. The railcar bogie according to claim 5 , wherein a thickness of the flame-retardant layer is 10 μm or more and 400 μm or less.

7. A protective film-equipped plate spring for a railcar bogie,
the protective film-equipped plate spring comprising:
a plate spring made of fiber-reinforced resin and mounted on the railcar bogie; and
the protective film according to claim 1 , the protective film being stuck to the plate spring.

8. The protective film-equipped plate spring according to claim 7 , wherein:
upper and lower surfaces of the plate spring include inclined regions inclined with respect to a horizontal plane when viewed from a car width direction; and
the protective film is stuck to each of portions of the inclined regions of the upper and lower surfaces of the plate spring, the portions being exposed to outside.
