  • Patent number: 4213399
    Abstract: Universally mounted wheelset where an axle housing suspension utilizes a rocking hinge principle to absorb shocks with limited up and down movement. A pair of swivel blocks are connected by trunnions to fore and aft ends of the axle assembly enabling rocking movement of the axle assembly about a longitudinal axis extending generally longitudinally of the direction of movement of the vehicle. One of the swivel blocks is hinged to the vehicle frame. This enables the axle housing to tilt up and down about the hinged swivel block in addition to rocking about the longitudinal axis. Cushioning springs are provided between the vehicle frame and the opposite, tiltable end of the axle assembly.
