Abstract

1,114,079. Railway vehicle undercarriages; cars continuous forming trains; rail vehicle couplings. MIDLAND ROSS CORPORATION. 4 Oct., 1966 [22 Oct., 1965], No. 44316/66. Headings B7L and B7T. An articulated railway vehicle comprises at least two cars, e.g. 4, 5, Figs. 2 and 3, pivotally connected together by a car-to-car coupling or couplings, each comprising two elements 16, 17, connected for universal relative pivoting movement but being restrained from radial movement relative to their centre O of pivotal movement, the element 16 being fixed, e.g. to oar 4 and the element 17 being fixed, e.g. to car 5; and a car truck mechanism located at or towards the end of each of the connected cars adjacent the coupling, each mechanism comprising (a) a pedestal frame (72), Figs. 10 and 11 (not shown), associated with each wheel and fixed to the associated car, (b) a track-following wheel assembly (53), (87), (c) a journal saddle (73) associated with each wheel and adapted to carry the wheel assembly, the frame (72) and saddle (73) having relative freedom of movement (laterally) to permit the wheel assembly (53), (87) to maintain a tracking relationship with any curve over which the vehicle is designed to travel, and (d) resilient means (78a), (78b) between the frame and saddle to urge them to a mutually neutral position in the transverse direction of the car truck. The saddle (73) can move laterally relative to and fulcrum on the pedestal frame (72) as described with reference to Fig. 10 (not shown), The car truck is similar to that described in Specifications 1,056,000 and 1,103,176. The coupling element 16 is secured to the centre sill 25 of car 4 and has a recess 19 between upper and lower eye portions 20a, 20, the innermost portion of the recess having a concave spherical surface 21. The element 17 secured to the centre sill 27 of the car 5 has a boss 29 projecting into the recess 19 with vertical and lateral clearances, the end of the boss having a convex spherical surface 31 to engage the surface 21. The boss 29 has a generally cylindrical vertical opening 32 which is extended towards the outer end of the boss, internally thereof, to form a recess to receive a bearing block (33), Fig. 6 (not shown), the recess having a concave spherical surface 36. The surfaces 21, 31, 36 are concentric about the centre O. The block (33) has inclined wall surfaces (47), (48), a spherical surface (49) to engage the surface 36 and a cylindrical surface (38) to engage a pin 35 extending through aligned apertures in the eye portions 20, 20a and through the opening 32. The vertical cross-section of the opening 32 is hour glassshaped, as shown in Fig. 3. This cross-section, together with the shaped block 33 permits the elements 17, 18 to angle universally relative to each other but prevent radial movement relative to the centre O.
