Definitions

  • a bogie truck for a rail vehicle has a pair of rigid side frames, front and rear axles extending between the [52] Cl 105/182 R; side frames, front and rear abutments on the side frames and suspension means in the form of a resilient f igg gg lf block comprising alternate laminations of a rigid ma- IS I 0 earc 5 207 1 terial and of a resilient material each block being associated with an abutment on the side frame and inclined downwardly thereto.
  • This invention relates to bogie trucks for rail vehicles and is more particularly concerned with the suspension arrangements of such bogie trucks.
  • the type of bogie normally used for passengercarrying vehicles generally includes fixed transverse members interconnecting a pair of side frames, the fixed transverse members supporting a floating bolster hung from links attached to the transverse members to permit lateral movement of the vehicle superstructure relative to the bogie.
  • the type of bogie normally used for goods wagons normally has a single transverse member connecting the side frames together, such transverse member being the bolster itself which does not normally float on links and is either completely rigid with the side frames or, as in the case of spring plankless" bogie, is slidably mounted on spring means in the side frames.
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic plan view of a carriage bogie truck according to the invention.
  • the resilient blocks 6 can also be arranged with their longitudinal axes directed inwardly from the side frames as well as upwardly, so that they have a tendency to maintain the associated transverse member and the wheel and axle sets 2 square with the side frames 1.
  • the two side frames 1, which are the main members of the truck structure are retained relative to one another by the resiliently suspended transverse member and have openings 12 formed therein as shown in FIG. 4.
