Curve dependent cross stop for limiting the transverse clearance between bodies and the running gear of railway vehicles

摘要

The lateral stop consists of a roller and a contoured plate with fixed and elastic stops. The contour (8) of the elastic stop (6) is formed dependent upon that (9) of the fixed stop (5), so that lateral rigidity and lateral spring travel of the elastic stop are variable dependent upon the track curve. Lateral rigidity of the stop is defined by the shape of its base plate (7), while its lateral spring travel is varied dependent upon the differences between the contours of both stops.
