Abstract

A device for connecting the gangway bellows cover and the chassis of articulated vehicles includes a connecting element (2) having a hooking portion (3) which can be connected to an end edge (101a) of a gangway bellows cover (101), and an engagement portion (4) which can be inserted in a compartment (400) formed by a rigid support (300) belonging to the vehicle chassis and abutted to at least a first inner wall (310) of the compartment (400). The device also includes an elastically deformable insertion element (10) which is also positioned in the compartment (400) between the connecting element (2) and a second inner wall (320), so as to stably engage the engagement portion (4) against the first inner wall (310).
