Spring supported railway vehicle

Abstract

A rail vehicle is carried by two-axled bogies pivoted to it, four shock absorbers only for damping the movements of the body of the vehicle are arranged between the body and each bogie; these are placed on both sides of the transverse and logitudinal axes of the bogie at a relatively great distance from the transverse axis and are arranged at an angle to the horizontal.

I claim: 
     
       1. Rail vehicle comprising a carriage body supported by wheel bogies limited for turning and swinging and having several axles, in which between the carriage body and the wheel bogies a number of shock absorbers is arranged to damp the relative movements between carriage body and bogies, characterized in that for each bogie there are only four movement damping shock absorbers placed on both sides of the longitudinal and transverse axes of the bogie at a relatively great distance at least from the transverse axis, directed obliquely in relation to the horizontal plane to absorb both vertical and horizontal vibration forces, the longitudinal axes of the shock absorbers at least substantially coinciding with the vertical transverse plane of the rail vehicle, the distance of the shock absorbers from a transverse vertical plane through the center of the bogie being greater than or equal to one fourth of the distance between the two innermost wheel axles of the bogie.
