Abstract

1510927 Railway vehicle undercarriages SOUTH AFRICAN INVENTIONS DEVELOPMENT CORP 29 June 1976 [8 July 1975 9 Feb 1976] 27080/76 Addition to 1449249 Heading B7L The railway truck described in parent Specification is modified by replacing the diagonal couplings between wheelsets 16 with couplings wholly to one side of the longitudinal axis of the truck. Each coupling acts to couple turning movements of the wheelsets in opposite senses and comprises two arms 50 having one end secured to a respective wheelset and being interconnected by a member 51 at their other ends to transmit rotation between the arms but allowing lost motion therebetween. One arm 50 may be pivotally connected to a piston 52 and the other arm may be secured to a cylinder 56, the piston and cylinder forming a fluid damper which resists motion between the ends of the arms. Alternatively, the piston and cylinder may be arcuate with the arms of unequal length. Rubber sandwich elements 28, carried by an adapter 26 which accommodates axle bearings 22, support a side frame 10, the elements 28 being at different levels.
