  • the pivot connection means 8 are arranged under the front bottom 32 and are such that the front end 32 of the body 4 is pivotally mounted on the bogie 6 about a pivot axis A perpendicular to the running surface of the train.
  • the pivot connection means 8 are arranged in the median transverse vertical plane of the two axles 38, and also in the median longitudinal vertical plane of the two crosspieces 46. These means are of known type and will not be detailed here.
  • the ball joint means 10 comprise a front arm 52 extending from the front end 32 under the connecting passage 16, and a stirrup 54 integral with the front arm 52.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show that the front arm 52 comprises a first part extending downwards and forwards from the front bottom 32, and a second part extending the first part horizontally forwards.
  • the yoke 54 extends from the second part of the front arm 52 and comprises two parallel bent arms 56, each arm 56 comprises a first section 58 extending transversely to the right from the front arm 52 and a second section 60 extending vertically the first section 58.
  • the complementary ball joint means 12 comprise a rear arm 62 extending longitudinally rearward, substantially horizontally, from the rear base 34. This rear arm 62 is located vertically immediately above the first sections 58 of the
  • the complementary means 12 further comprise a central plate 64 extending transversely to the right from the rear arm 62. The central plate 64 is engaged between the second sections 60 of the yoke 54. A spacing G remains of each side of the plate 64 between this plate 64 and the second sections 60 of the bent arms 56, as seen in FIG.
  • the second portions 60 and the plate 64 are pierced by cylindrical bores 66 and 68, coaxial, of longitudinal axis.
  • the bore 68 receives a ball 70, a sleeve of elastic material 72 being interposed between the ball 70 and the inner surface of the bore 68.
  • the ball 70 is typically made of rubber.
  • the ball joint means 10 also comprise an axis 74 passing through the bores 66 of the two bent arms 56, and also passing through the ball 70 through an orifice provided for this purpose in the ball 70.
  • the ball 70 is rigidly fixed, in translation, along the shaft 74, by any suitable means.
  • the elastic sleeve 72 is integral with both the ball 70 and the plate 64.
  • the part of the bogie 6 situated on a rear side of the pivot axis A is situated entirely under the front bottom 32 of the body 4.
  • the part of the bogie 6 extending in front of the pivot axis A extends first under the front bottom 32, then under the circulation passage 16 and finally extends partially under the rear bottom 34 of the previous car 2.
  • the axle 38 located at the front extends substantially at the rear end of the previous car 2.
  • FIG. 4 shows that the ball joint 14 is located longitudinally under the circulation passage 16.
  • the ball joint 14 is also located between the two axles 38 of the bogie, more precisely between the axle 38 of the bogie and the axle Pivot A, and even more precisely, between the cross 46 before and the axle 38 before.
  • the ball joint 14 is interposed between the bogie 6 and the floor of the connecting passage 16 and more precisely between the front axle 38 and the floor of the connecting passage 16.
  • the ball joint 14 is disposed at a vertical level less than or equal to that of the pivot connection means 8 relative to the running surface of the train.
  • the ball 70 of the ball joint 14 is disposed longitudinally at a distance of less than two meters from the axis A of the pivot connection means 8, and is preferably located one meter from the axis A of the pivot connection 8.
  • the train may comprise a car 2 provided with a pantograph arm 76 mounted on the roof of the body 4, this pantograph arm 76 being advantageously disposed at a front end of this roof, in line with the axis A pivot connecting means 8.
  • the train train described above has many advantages.
  • the ball joint 14 articulating a car 2 to the preceding car is shifted forward relative to the pivot connection means 8 of the car 2 on its bogie 6. Furthermore, the ball joint 14 is disposed at a level less than or equal to to that of the pivot connection means. It is thus possible to arrange the floor of the passage 16 vertically at the same level as the floor of the interior volume 18 of the car 2.
  • This new arrangement of the ball joint 14 and pivot connection means 8 makes it possible to lower the level of the floor of the circulation passage 16 by approximately 125 mm compared to the state of the prior art.
  • pivot connection means 8 are arranged under the front part of the body 4, it is possible to implement the pantograph arm 76 vertically to the right pivot connection means 8. This arrangement simplifies the movement the pantograph arm with respect to the catenary 78.
  • pivot connection means 8 are arranged under the front part of the box and no longer under the circulation passage 16 allows the dampers 42 to be directly resting on the front bottom 32 of the box 4.
  • a difference in elevation is formed between the floor of the interior volume of the body and the floor of passage of circulation, lowering jointly the levels of the two floors. This reduces the height of the steps to access the interior of the box from the dock.
  • the ball joint 14 between a car and the car in front of it is disposed under the rear bottom 34 of the car before rather than under the floor of the traffic passage connecting the two cars.
  • the bogie 6 of a car 2 may not be linked to the front bottom 32 of the body 4, but rather to the rear bottom 34 of the body. In this case, the front end of the car 2 is supported by the rear end of the car which precedes it via the ball joint 14.
  • each car 2 is provided with two bogies 6, a bogie 6 located under the front end 32 of the body 4 and a bogie 6 located under the rear bottom 34 of the body 4.
  • the ball joint 14 has the function of articulating one end of a car 2 with the end of the preceding car 2, but no longer has the function of supporting the end of one of the cars.
  • the train train described above may be electric or thermal propulsion.
  • the car provided with a ball joint 14 lowered in relation to its pivot connection 8 can be motorized (drive) or non-motorized.
  • the motor can be arranged at the end of the train or in the intermediate position, between two non-motorized cars.
