LOW-FLOOR VEHICLE

摘要

A low-floor vehicle improved in the riding comfortableness of the occupants and reduced in the wear of wheel flanges by reducing the lateral pressure of the vehicle to prevent the vibration and the creaking noise of the vehicle from occurring when the vehicle runs on a curved track. The low-floor vehicle comprises journal members (10) each of which connects a pair of wheels (8) to each other and is attached to a truck frame (9) and a truck frame lateral beam (9a) laterally disposed nearer the center of the truck frame (9) than the journal member (10). The journal members (10) are capable of revolving relative to the truck frame (9). A pair of left and right stub links (12) extends between the journal member (10) and the truck frame lateral beam (9a). Axial lines (12b) extending through respective both ends (12a) of the pair of stub links (12) are tiltably disposed so that the lateral distance therebetween is increased from the truck frame lateral beam (9a) toward the journal member (10). Both ends (12a) of the stub links (12) are so attached to the journal member (10) and the truck frame lateral beam (9a), respectively, as to be rotatable about the axis extending in the height direction.
