Two-parts dismantable frame for ballasted automotive rail vehicle.

摘要

The vehicle comprises a lower chassis (1) on which are mounted the drive members (34) and the axles (32) of the wheels (31) of the vehicle, and an upper chassis (2) comprising a box (4) capable of receiving ballast. In order to avoid the transmission to the lower chassis (1) of the moments due to the inertia forces of the upper chassis (2) laden with the ballast, and in order to permit the convenient installation of a lateral driving position, the upper chassis (2) comprises at least one horizontal beam (5) which extends longitudinally in the central part of the box (4) and at the ends of which are fitted two legs (3) which form a gantry support with the said longitudinal horizontal beam (5) and which bear on the lower chassis (1) to which they are secured by a non-rigid fitting. <IMAGE>
