Railway vehicle with lateral deplacement of the pivot of the bogie

摘要

The vehicle (2) is articulated on its bogie (4) with respect to the chassis. It has a bogie support (16) and two connecting rods (8,10) that are articulated to an adjacent vehicle (2') and two levers (12,14) which are also articulated to the bogie support. The levers are free to pivot with respect to the median axes without acting on the support bogie whilst the connecting rods are subjected to longitudinal movements acting in the same directions. When the connecting rods are subjected to longitudinal movements in the opposite direction, the levers are driven in rotation about their pivot axis which is arranged at their adjacent ends. This causes the bogie support to rotate about its axis (18).
