Abstract: A railroad car may comprise a frame comprising a first side and a second side laterally opposing each other. The railroad car may further comprise a first elastomeric mat and a second elastomeric mat supported by a plurality of reinforcement cables, the first and second elastomeric mats forming a load-carrying receptacle. Each elastomeric mat may have an outer edge and an inner edge, the inner edge of the first elastomeric mat abutting the inner edge of the second elastomeric mat when the load-carrying receptacle is in a closed configuration. The railroad car may further comprise a first pulley connected to the first side of the frame and a second pulley connected to the second side of the frame, the first pulley and second pulley each having a respective axis of rotation parallel to a direction of travel of the railroad car.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly (1) for a railway vehicle, of the type comprising a first chassis (8) and a second chassis (9) which is connected to the stationary chassis (8) to tilt laterally with respect thereto on each side of a position of rest, the assembly (1) further comprising means (10) for moving the second chassis (9) laterally. The movement means (10) comprise an arm (28) for driving the second chassis (9) laterally, which arm (28) is mounted so that it can pivot about a longitudinal axis (X—X). Application, for example, to a power pick-up assembly for a tilting railway vehicle.
