  • the same handlebar 1 ', 2' are also provided on the bottom and articulated at one end to the wheel arch 13 and at the other end to a bar 23 'located transversely to the direction of travel, which is articulated in the same way as the bar 23 on a lower support 10 ⁇ at 24'.
  • the ends of the passage 11 between the adjacent carriages of the carrying carriage, in the present case the carriage 18, are each provided with an essentially horizontal angular frame 12 projecting laterally to the direction of travel, which is located approximately in the middle of the carriage body, and the respective Carrier 11 connects to the body or its frame 10.
  • Each of the two frames 12 is supported on the wheel housing 13 via a spring strut 14, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the strut 14 consists of an outer and an inner tube 5 and 6.
  • the two tubes can be moved into one another and form or have an integrated hydraulic shock absorber.
  • the upper ends of the two tubes 5 and 6 are each provided with a plate 15 or 16, between which plates a spring 25, for example a helical or pneumatic spring, is arranged.
  • the strut 14 is connected at its ends to the frame 12 or the wheel housing 13 via a joint 26 or 27, each joint being a spherical joint.
  • Each of the two Lemniskaten handlebars consists of a double-armed lever 8 which is articulated on the wheel arch 13, the two arms of which are connected to each of the arms 17 which extend in the opposite direction of travel, of which the end remote from the lever 8 is connected via a pin 18 to one or the adjacent End or frame 10 of the successive carriage is articulated.
  • the spring 110 has the task that when entering or exiting a curve, if one car is in the curve, the other is not or is no longer in the curve, the slight misregistration resulting from the lemniscate control to compensate, which results in a self-control of the wheel arch.
  • the wheels 35 can be driven by a motor 3 via a gear 4 which is connected to the wheel arch 13.
  • the lower disc 15 is higher than the engine.
  • the brake system which is shown in Figs. 5 and 6, consists of a wheel disc brake 30 and a magnetic brake 32.
  • This brake unit is connected via a carrier 33, e.g. detachably connected to the wheel arch 13 by means of screws or the like, so that the brake unit with the carrier can be removed from the wheel arch 13 in a simple manner for maintenance purposes.
  • a portal undercarriage according to FIG. 9 is provided on the bow of the first car 40 and on the rear of the last car 41.
  • a portal undercarriage according to FIG. 4 or 6 is present between the individual carriages.
  • the portal undercarriage according to FIG. 9 has four individual wheels 35, two of which are mounted one behind the other in a wheel housing 13 on one side of the portal undercarriage in the direction of travel.
  • the wheel arches 13 each of two individual wheels 35 arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel are connected by a carrier 43 which is pivotally mounted in a balancer 51 about an axis 55 extending transversely to the direction of travel.
  • Each of the two balancers 51 is supported by two uprights 39 of the portal 9, which are connected by cross members 36 and longitudinal members 65.
  • the portal 9 is embedded in the car walls, namely the uprights 39 in each case in the side panels and the cross members 36 and longitudinal members 65 in the roof paneling.
  • each of the two balancers 51, 51 ' is connected via a spherical joint 58, 58' to a link 59, 59 ', which is outside the area of the portal chassis via a spherical joint 61 or 61' to one end of a bell crank 60 is connected, which in turn is designed as a two-armed lever rotatably mounted about a vertical central axis 62 on a floor support 63 of a carriage frame 10.
  • the links 59 and 59 ' face each other.
  • the portal 9 is connected at its one cross member 36 in the middle via a spherical joint 37 to a link 38 which is connected via a spherical joint 42 to a ceiling beam 64 of the body frame 10.
  • the link 38 extends parallel to the links 59, 59 'on the same side of the portal 9 and together with the links 59, 59' allows a spring action of the car body relative to the portal frame.
  • a floor 44 of the car body is located between the wheels 35 and between the balancers 51, 51 'and is supported by the floor supports 63 of the car body frame 10.
