Abstract: The object is to solve the issue of an over-steered state at an exit straight portion in addition to enhance a curve passage performance than when a steering angle of front and rear axles is set at a radial steering angle. A steering method for a steering device intentionally turns two axles (12a, 12b) of a truck (12) of a railway vehicle relative to a frame of the truck. The two axles are arranged at front and rear of the truck with respect to a direction of running of the railway vehicle. The steering method includes steering the axles such that a steering angle (?1) of the front axle (12a) is larger than a steering angle (?2) of the rear axle (12b).

Abstract: A bogie frame for railway vehicles includes a pair of left and right side frames disposed along a direction of rails and a cross frame that connects the side frames to each other, and the cross frame includes a top plate member, a bottom plate member, and a pair of front and rear side plate members that are disposed between these plate members and welded thereto, wherein the cross frame has mounting bracket support portions that extend from front and rear edges of the top plate member and the bottom plate member, correspondingly to locations where mounting brackets for mounting a traction motor and mounting brackets for mounting a gearbox are disposed, and the mounting brackets are welded to the mounting bracket support portions. This makes it possible to achieve good welding workability for assembling the bogie frame.

Abstract: A vehicle antenna included in a window plate mounted to an opening of a vehicle body. The vehicle antenna includes an antenna conductor, a power-feed part including a connection point. The antenna conductor and the power-feed part are positioned in a vicinity of an upper edge and arranged between a side edge of the opening and a center line of the window plate in a width direction. The antenna conductor includes a first linear element extending in a vertical direction and including upper and lower ends, the upper end being directly connected to the connection point or by way of a connection element, and a second linear element extending in a horizontal direction and connected to the first linear element at the lower end or a vicinity of the lower end. A length of the second linear element is greater than a length of the first linear element.

Abstract: A bogie frame for railway vehicles includes a pair of left and right side beams disposed along a direction of rails; a cross beam that connects the side beams to each other, and a mounting bracket for mounting a functional part, the mounting bracket being joined to the cross beam. The cross beam has a rectangular cross section and includes a top plate section, a bottom plate section, and a pair of side plate sections. The top plate section has a cutout opening extending to one of the side plate sections. The mounting bracket is inserted in the cutout opening and the mounting bracket and the top plate section are butt welded together. This configuration enhances welding workability for welding mounting brackets for mounting functional parts such as a traction motor, a gearbox, and a brake, and allows a greater degree of design flexibility in mounting the functional parts.

Abstract: A glass antenna provided on or in window glass of a vehicle, includes: an antenna conductor including: a first antenna element which is connected to a feed portion and formed into a loop-like shape extending in a first direction; a second antenna element which is formed into an L-like shape by a first partial element which is connected to the first antenna element and extends in the first direction and a second partial element which is connected to the first partial element and extends in a second direction intersecting the first direction at right angles; a third antenna element which is connected to the first antenna element and extends in the second direction on a side where the second partial element extends with respect to the first partial element; and a fourth antenna element which divides the loop of the first antenna element into two loops.
