Abstract

920,833. Railway vehicle axle box mountings. REGIE NATIONALE DES USINES RENAULT. May 4, 1959 [May 7, 1958], No. 15256/59. Class 103(6). A railway vehicle axle box 1 Figs. 1 and 2 is connected by fixed rods 11 to rubber torsion blocks 3 secured to rubber torsion blocks 4 carried by rods 12 fixed to vertical links 5 having convex surfaces 13 supporting the vehicle frame 2, the points of contact between the links and the frame lying on axes AB, A<SP>1</SP>B<SP>1</SP>, which are disposed so as to be equidistant from the associated sets of rods 11, 12. Referring to Figs. 2 and 3 the axle box is provided with flanges 9 co-operating with check members 10 on the frame 2, to limit transverse displacements of the axle box, whilst the links 5 each have upper and lower flanges 6, 7 co-operating with the sides of the frame 2. Whilst the links 5 can float longitudinally of the vehicle frame the axle box is prevented from such movement by a connecting rod 8. In other embodiments the links 5 engage the frame through rollers or through pivoted sectors having notches engaging correspondingly shaped teeth on the frame. Instead of the blocks 4 metal legs may be secured to the blocks 3 and pivoted to the links 5 as described with reference to Fig. 8 (not shown). In this case instead of the links having convex upper surfaces they may be connected to the frame through lower vertical links as described with reference to Fig. 9 (not shown).
