(Prior Art) When a railway vehicle passes through a curve, in the conventional bogie structure, the rotation direction of the wheel does not coincide with the tangential direction of the curve, and therefore exists between the wheel and the wheel contact portion of the track. An angle had arisen. Problems caused by this are expansion of the gauge due to lateral pressure generated between the wheel and the track, generation of squeaky noise, wear of the wheel and the track, and repair of a tightening device for the track. For these reasons, the maximum passing speed of a train has been conventionally determined in consideration of safety, economy, etc. for each curve radius of the track.

On the other hand, in order to shorten the time required to reach the destination, it has been strongly desired to improve the speed at which the trainees pass through the curve. In Japan, the development of self-steering bogies has been promoted from the bogie structure.
However, this bogie has not sufficiently improved the running performance in spite of the complexity of the mechanism or the like, and has not solved the above-mentioned problems, and has not yet been put to practical use.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary that the rotation direction of the wheel always coincides with the tangential direction of the curve while the wheel passes through the curve. If this is combined with the employment of independent wheels, theoretically, it is possible to obtain an ideal curve-passing performance compared with a normal left and right integrated wheel. In other words, in a normal wheel, even if the rotation direction of the wheel is steered in the tangential direction of the curve, the right and left wheels are fixedly connected by one common axis, so the curve through which the inner and outer wheels pass May cause a slight slip due to the difference in radius of
In the case of independent wheels, such a phenomenon does not occur because the left and right wheels individually rotate.
