Definitions
- the invention relates generally to railway cars, and more particularly to an articulated spine car.
- T ⁇ IX articulated railway car generally comprises a number of units joined by connectors, with a shared truck disposed between each pair of adjacent units. Examples of articulated railway cars and components thereof are shown in U.S. Patent Nos . 4,962,861, 4,258,628, and 3,399,631.
- a low level wheel support structure for supporting the wheels of a trailer.
- the wheel support structure may comprise a pair of wheel trays, one located on each side of a central spine, supported by a plurality of transverse beams.
- Each of the transverse beams extends only partially across the bottom of the wheel tray, to enable the tray to be supported at a low level while maintaining desired clearances around the bottom side areas of the railway car.
- beam extensions of relatively small vertical dimension may extend beyond the ends of the beams.
- channel segments may extend longitudinally between beam extensions.
- the wheel tray may have an outer portion disposed beyond the ends of the beam extensions, such that the wheel tray is partially self-supporting.
- the provision of the stub arms as integral components of the casting is believed to provide significant advantages as compared with welding side bearing arms directly to the longitudinal portion of the casting, in that the latter arrangement would be more difficult to fabricate, and might be susceptible to fatigue at certain of the welded joints.
- the connector castings as described above provide a solution to various problems created in attempting to support containers or trailers in a limited amount of available space in a lightweight articulated railway car.
- the illustrated unit is believed to be suitable for carrying trailers and containers in Europe, where overhead clearances and other clearances are generally more restrictive than in the United States.
