  • Patent number: 10279820
    Abstract: A spring lock for a secondary spring that is arranged between the car body and the under frame of a rail vehicle. A spring locking element is provided which in the mounted state is supported on the car body and projects through a cutout and is connected to the secondary spring in such a way that it is prevented from extending. This facilitates the mounting of anti-wear washers under the secondary spring to a considerable degree.

  • Patent number: 9994240
    Abstract: A chassis for rail vehicles, particularly with inside-supported wheelsets, wherein the drive unit is elastically supported transversely to the travel direction via spring devices within the chassis frame, where the vibrational behavior is optimized and the space available for the drive unit is enlarged because the spring devices are supported directly on the housing of the bearing of the wheelset.

  • Patent number: 9908538
    Abstract: A rail vehicle includes a concealed undercarriage, particularly a bogie, wherein the covering or fairing comprises at least side elements that are arranged along the rail vehicle on the sides of the undercarriage and a bottom element that is arranged on the underside of the undercarriage, where the side elements are fixedly connected to the carriage body of the rail vehicle, the bottom element is fixedly connected to the undercarriage, and a gap is provided between the bottom element on one side and the side elements on the other side, and where the gap provides a distance between the wheels of the undercarriage and the bottom element on one side and the side elements on the other side, both in the fully turned and in the partially turned state of the undercarriage.

  • Patent number: 9776646
    Abstract: A wheelset bearing for the wheelset of a rail vehicle having an internally mounted truck that includes one bearing housing per side of the wheelset that encloses the wheelset bearing for the wheelset, where the wheelset bearing and bearing housing are within the wheels in an installed state and a torsion spring serves as a roll stabilizer that is connected to the bearing housing such that the torsion springs are rigidly connected to one bearing housing each on the two ends thereof (without interconnection of draw-pressure rods) so as to implement roll stabilization for the wheelsets in a manner that is as technically simple as possible.

  • Patent number: 9694831
    Abstract: A device transmits a force between a chassis and a body of a rail vehicle. The device is a structurally simple, space-saving device which allows spring movements and rotational movements of the body relative to the chassis. This is achieved in that at least one first traction link buffer, which has a first end face, and at least one second traction link buffer, which has a second end face, are fixed to the chassis. The first end face is spaced from the second end face in a longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle. The two end faces point in at least approximately opposite directions, and a stop plate with sliding portions which are mutually spaced in the longitudinal direction is provided on the body. The end faces of the traction link buffers rest against the sliding portions in a slidable manner at least along some sections.
