1 und 2 bezeichnen jeweils eine Bodenplatte, welche vom jeweiligen Ende eines Wagenkastens absteht. Die beiden Bodenplatten einander gegenüberliegender Waggons sind im Endbereich unter Zwischenschaltung eines sphärischen Gelenkes 3 aufeinander aufgesattelt. Auf der Verbindungsstelle der beiden Bodenplatten 1, 2 ist eine Spurführungsplatte 4 aufgesetzt, welche sich quer zur Fahrtrichtung erstreckt und um die lotrechte Achse des sphärischen Gelenkes 3 verschwenkbar ist. Die beiden Enden der Spurführungsplatte 4 sind um einen Bolzen 5 drehbar und auf diesem höhenverstellbar gelagert, welcher, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, am Radkasten 20 des jeweiligen Losrades 21 montiert ist. Mit 22 ist die Ebene der Schienenoberkanten bezeichnet.1 and 2 each designate a base plate which protrudes from the respective end of a car body. The two base plates of opposite wagons are saddled in the end area with the interposition of a spherical joint 3. On the junction of the two floor plates 1, 2, a tracking plate 4 is placed, which extends transversely to the direction of travel and is pivotable about the vertical axis of the spherical joint 3. The two ends of the tracking plate 4 can be rotated about a bolt 5 and are mounted on this in a height-adjustable manner, which, as shown in FIG. With 22 the plane of the top edges of the rails is designated.

Auf jedem der Bolzen 5 ist, wie den Fig. 1 und 2 zu entnehmen ist, je ein Lenker 6 angelenkt, welcher mit seinem dem Bolzen 5 abgekehrten Ende an einem Querbalken 7 angelenkt ist, der um ein Gelenk 8 auf der Bodenplatte 2 angelenkt ist, welche auf der Platte 1 unter Zwischenschaltung des erwähnten sphärischen Gelenkes 3 aufgesattelt ist. Das Gelenk 8 bzw. ein Zapfen od. dgl. ist in einer Platte 9 gelagert, deren beiden in der Fahrtrichtung einander gegenüberliegenden Querränder an je einer gummielastischen Platte 10 befestigt sind, die ihrerseits auf der Bodenplatte 2 befestigt, z. b. angeschraubt ist.On each of the bolts 5, as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, a link 6 is articulated, which is articulated with its end remote from the bolt 5 to a crossbar 7 which is articulated about a joint 8 on the base plate 2 , which is saddled on the plate 1 with the interposition of the spherical joint 3 mentioned. The joint 8 or a pin or the like is mounted in a plate 9, the two of which in the Cross edges opposite each other are fastened to a rubber-elastic plate 10, which in turn is fastened to the base plate 2, for example screwed on.

Die beiden Bodenplatten 1, 2 sind durch mindestens einen biegsamen und verwindbaren Verbindungsträger 11, z.B. eine Blattfeder, mit entsprechenden Eigenschaften verbunden.The two base plates 1, 2 are connected by at least one flexible and twistable connecting support 11, e.g. a leaf spring, associated with appropriate properties.

Diese beiden Blattfedern 11 sind mit ihrem einen Ende über eine Lagerplate 12 mit der Bodenplatte 1 verbunden, während das andere Ende der Blattfedern 11 mit dem Querbalken 7 verbunden ist. Die beiden Befestigungsenden der Blattfedern 11 auf der Lagerplatte 12 sind in gleichem Abstand von der Längmittelachse X angeordnet. Die beiden Blattfedern 11 erstrecken sich spiegelbildlich zu der Längsachse X auseinanderlaufend zum Querbalken 7. Die Blattfedern 11 od. dgl. müssen sowohl Torsions- als auch Biegebelastungen, welche insbesondere bei Kurvenfahrten und bei Neigungen, der beiden aufeinanderfolgenden Wagenkasten entstehen, übernehmen. Die Befestigung der beiden Blattfedern 11 auf die Lagerplatte 12 erfolgt mittels Schrauben 14 und Scherbüchsen, Paßschrauben od. dgl. In der Bodenplatte 1 sind Montageöffnungen 13 vorgesehen, durch welche die Verschraubung der Blattfedern 11 durchgeführt werden kann. Die Lagerplate 12 ist zwischen zwei Platten 15 durch Schrauben 16 zusammengehalten und über einen Lenker 17 geführt, welcher an seinem einen Ende über einen Bolzen 18 mit der Lagerplatte 12 gelenkig verbunden ist. Das andere Ende des Lenkers 17 ist über eine gummielastische Lagerung 19 an die Bodenplatte 1 gelenkig angeschlossen. Die Gummilagerung hat die Aufgabe einerseits Geräusche, die von dem beschriebenen System herrühren, zu dämpfen und außerdem in einem gewissen Ausmaß eine seitliche Bewegung des Portals zu gestatten. Die gummielastische Lagerung 19 besteht aus zwei konzentrischen Ringen, zwischen denen eine Gummiplatte eingespannt ist.These two leaf springs 11 are connected at one end to the base plate 1 via a bearing plate 12, while the other end of the leaf springs 11 is connected to the crossbar 7. The two fastening ends of the leaf springs 11 on the bearing plate 12 are arranged at the same distance from the longitudinal central axis X. The two leaf springs 11 extend in mirror image to the longitudinal axis X to the crossbar 7. The leaf springs 11 or the like. Both torsional and bending loads, which arise in particular when cornering and inclinations of the two consecutive car bodies, take over. The two leaf springs 11 are fastened to the bearing plate 12 by means of screws 14 and shear bushes, fitting screws or the like. Mounting openings 13 are provided in the base plate 1, through which the leaf springs 11 can be screwed together. The bearing plate 12 is held together between two plates 15 by screws 16 and guided over a link 17 which is articulated at one end to the bearing plate 12 via a bolt 18. The other end of the handlebar 17 is connected in an articulated manner to the base plate 1 via a rubber-elastic bearing 19. The task of the rubber mounting is to dampen noise resulting from the system described and, to a certain extent, to allow the portal to move laterally. The rubber-elastic bearing 19 consists of two concentric rings, between which a rubber plate is clamped.

Die Einspannung der Blattfedern 11 am Querbalken 7 erfolgt in gleicher Weise wie die Einspannung der Blattfedern 11 auf der Lagerplatte 12.The leaf springs 11 are clamped on the crossbar 7 in the same way as the leaf springs 11 are clamped on the bearing plate 12.

Ein wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung liegt auch darin, daß die lotrechten Drehachsen der Gelenke 8, 3 und 18 in der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Geradeausfahrt der aufeinanderfolgenden Wagenkasten in einer gemeinsamen durch die Achse X angedeuteten Mittelebene liegen und der Abstand der lotrechten Achse des Gelenkes 8 von der lotrechten Achse des sphärischen Gelenkes 3 gleich ist dem Abstand der lotrechten Drehachse des Bolzens 18 von der lotrechten Achse des sphärischen Gelenkes 3.An essential feature of the invention also lies in the fact that the vertical axes of rotation of the joints 8, 3 and 18 in the straight travel of the successive car bodies shown in FIG. 1 lie in a common central plane indicated by the axis X and the distance of the vertical axis of the joint 8 from the vertical axis of the spherical joint 3 is equal to the distance of the vertical axis of rotation of the bolt 18 from the vertical axis of the spherical joint 3.

Schließlich ist es ein Merkmal der Erfindung, daß der die Lagerplatte 12 mit der Bodenplatte 1 verbindende Lenker 17 in der Geradeausfahrt der beiden Wagenkasten schräg zur Längsmittelebene X verläuft und an seinem einen Ende in der Längsmittelebene mittels eines Bolzens auf der Lagerplatte 12 schwenkbar gelagert ist und an seinem anderen Ende mittels einer elastischen Lagerung an der Bodenplatte 1 gelagert ist.Finally, it is a feature of the invention that the link 17 connecting the bearing plate 12 to the base plate 1 extends obliquely to the longitudinal center plane X in the straight travel of the two car bodies and is pivotably mounted at one end in the longitudinal center plane by means of a bolt on the bearing plate 12 and is supported at its other end by means of an elastic mounting on the base plate 1.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 6 bis 9 sind gleiche Teile der früheren Ausführungsform mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen. Die Verbindungsträger sind mit 11, 11', bezeichnet und sind mit ihrem einen Ende über eine Lagerplatte 12 mit einem Lenker 17 bei 18 und mit ihren anderen Ende mit je einem Arm 7', 7'' eines Querbalkens 7 spiegelbildlich zum Gelenk 8 gelenkig verbunden. Der Lenker 17 erstreckt sich unter einem spitzen Winkel Alpha zur Achse X-X und weist an seinem, der Lagerplatte 12 abgekehrten Ende eine Lagerung 19' zur Aufnahme einer hydraulisch, mechanisch oder pneumatisch angetriebenen Welle 32 mit einem exzentrisch sitzenden Bolzen auf.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 9, the same parts of the previous embodiment are provided with the same reference numerals. The connection carriers are designated 11, 11 ', and are connected at one end via a bearing plate 12 with a link 17 at 18 and at the other end with an arm 7', 7 '' of a crossbar 7 in a mirror-image fashion to the joint 8 . The link 17 extends at an acute angle alpha to the axis XX and has at its end facing away from the bearing plate 12 a bearing 19 'for receiving a hydraulically, mechanically or pneumatically driven shaft 32 with an eccentrically seated bolt.

Der Abstand Y1 des Drehpunktes 18 von der lotrechten Achse des sphärischen Gelenkes 3 ist gleich dem Abstand Y2 der lotrechten Drehachse des Gelenkes 8 von der lotrechten Drehachse des sphärischen Gelenkes 3.The distance Y1 of the pivot point 18 from the vertical axis of the spherical joint 3 is equal to the distance Y2 of the vertical axis of rotation of the joint 8 from the vertical axis of rotation of the spherical joint 3.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion bewirkt die Drehung des Exzenterbolzens 31 eine Hin- und Herbewegung des Gelenkes 18 in der Richtung der Pfeile A-B, woduch ein Sinusverlauf bewirkt wird. Diesen Sinusverlauf wiedergibt der Exzenterbolzen 31 während der Fahrt des Waggons. Diese Takt-Gegentakt-Steuerung wird vorzugsweise bei einer Mindestgeschwindigkeit von 18 kmH eingeführt, anderenfalls sich die Räder am Stand ununterbrochen hin- und herbewegen würden.Due to the construction according to the invention, the rotation of the eccentric pin 31 causes the joint 18 to move back and forth in the direction of the arrows A-B, which causes a sinusoidal curve. The eccentric pin 31 reproduces this sinusoidal curve while the wagon is traveling. This clock-push-pull control is preferably introduced at a minimum speed of 18 kmH, otherwise the wheels would move back and forth continuously at the stand.

Selbstverständlich können im Rahmen der Erfindung verschiedene konstruktive Änderungen hinsichtlich der Ausbildung des Verbindungsträgers 11 vorgenommen werden. Bei der Konstruktion des Verbindungsträgers nach den Fig. 8 und 9 ist nur ein einziger Verbindungsträger vorgesehen, welcher in Fig. 8 dreieckförmig ausgebildet ist. In beiden Fällen muß die Spitze desselben über den Lenker 17 und wie zuvor beschrieben, über das Lager 19' und den Exzenterbolzen 31 mit dem Wagen gelenkig gekoppelt sein.Of course, various design changes can be made with regard to the design of the connection carrier 11 within the scope of the invention. In the construction of the connection carrier according to FIGS. 8 and 9, only a single connection carrier is provided, which in FIG. 8 is triangular. In both cases, the tip of the same must be articulated to the carriage via the handlebar 17 and, as previously described, via the bearing 19 'and the eccentric pin 31.

In jedem Falle muß die Drehachse der Räder durch die Drehachse des sphärischen Gelenkes 3 hindurchgehen. Die Verbindung des oder der Verbindungsträger 11 bzw. 11' mit dem Querbalken 7 muß starr ausgebildet sein. Das Lager 19 ist vorzugsweise elastisch nach dem Prinzip eines Seilenblocks. Die elastische Verbindung gibt eine gewisse Beweglichkeitsfreiheit für das Dreiecksystem des oder der Verbindungsträger.In any case, the axis of rotation of the wheels must pass through the axis of rotation of the spherical joint 3. The connection of the or the connection carrier 11 or 11 'with the crossbar 7 must be rigid. The bearing 19 is preferably elastic on the principle of a rope block. The elastic connection gives a certain freedom of movement for the triangular system of the connection carrier (s).

Das erfindungsgemäße System funktioniert nur dann, wenn die Räder angetrieben sind und die Takt-Gegentakt-Steuerung funktionstüchtig ist, sodaß die symmetrale Steuerung eine Bewegung macht, um die Räder verschieden geneigt zur Schiene einzustellen.The system according to the invention only works when the wheels are driven and the clock-push-pull control is functional, so that the symmetrical control makes a movement in order to adjust the wheels at different inclinations to the rail.
