Railway vehicle coupling and buffer mechanism - with spring connection line between frames in vertical transverse plane through axle

摘要

The combined mechanism is for use on a railway vehicle which has an auxiliary frame joined to the main frame, with a centre coupling component and two connecting components at equal distances from this. Two load-deformable springs are counted on the main frame, in a non-swivelling position, in a horizontal line normal to the main frame longitudinal axis. The connection between the auxiliary and main frames consists solely of these springs (12). There is a wheel axle in each of the two head areas of the vehicle, and the connecting lines of the springs on the main frame lies in a vertical transverse plane running through the wheel axle concerned.
