Abstract
The invention concerns a floor making it possible to circulate between two vehicles connected together by an articulated connection. The floor according to the invention includes a first deck fixed to the end of one of the vehicles and a second deck fixed to the end of the other vehicle. These two fixed decks are each partially covered by a movable deck, and are connected to each other by two deformable members including links and connecting rods. The movable deck is thus guided kinematically by the deformable parallelogram during the movements of the vehicles, notably when going round bends.
