Coverable bogie for rail-mounted vehicle, has two-piece bogie frame whose frame halves are transverse adjustably connected to each other by two telescope-like cross beams at distance to change track width

摘要

The bogie has a two-piece bogie frame whose frame halves (2, 3) are transverse adjustably connected to each other by two telescope-like cross beams (4) at a distance to change track width from 1435 mm for a standard gauge to 1000 mm for a meter gauge. Each half comprises symmetrically arranged cross beam extensions, two interlinking cross beam yokes or cross beam arms. A control drive (6), a locking system, an adjustment device and a positive connection are utilized for changing the distance between the halves. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for covering a bogie (2) a method for covering a bogie.
