摘要

Improvements in the construction of carts for railway locomotives, characterized in that each cart is equipped with separate axles, with wheels; a bogie frame that is supported on said axles, a transverse rotating frame held in the frame between the ends thereof for pivotal movement about a vertical axis practically in the center of the frame; vertical springs on the end parts of the rotating frame, to support the lower frame of a locomotive, longitudinal centering and compensation devices that are mounted on the ends of the rotating frame; pairs of links on both sides of the cart, connected respectively, to said devices at points longitudinally separated from the cart and protruding from same in opposite directions, in the longitudinal direction thereof and upwards for connection at their separate ends, with the lower frame sustained, by means of which the rotary frame is maintained against movement in the longitudinal direction of the lower frame independently of the vertical or transverse deflection of the vertical springs and the normal action of said springs is not hindered by said links.
