Abstract: In a guided vehicle of air spring suspension for running along exclusive guideways, decreasing of center distance of the left and right air spring to mount air springs of increased dimension and increased load carrying capacity, which decreasing of the center distance induces decrease in rolling stiffness of the vehicle resulting in deteriorated ride quality and also induces difficulty in adjusting vehicle height resulting in spending long time in height adjusting operation, will not be required even when load carrying capacity of air springs is required to be increased in order to comply with increased vehicle load. A plurality of air spring elements are mounted tandem along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle with the air spring elements connected with each other so that air pressure thereof is always equal.

Abstract: Described is an emergency door of a vehicle. An interior of the door and side part of front face of leading car are connected pivotally by an upper arm, lower arm, and first link bar so that a parallel linkage is composed, thereby enabling horizontal movement of the door. A stopper mechanism is composed such that an end of a second link bar is connecting pivotally to the first link bar, the bracket having an oblong hole is attached to a frame of a carbody, a pin fixed to the other end of the second link bar is received in the oblong hole, and the door can be stopped at its full open position when the pin contacts an end of the oblong hole.

Abstract: An emergency door of a vehicle composed such that a large space is not required outside the vehicle to open the door, ingress of rainwater is prevented even in a case the emergency door is mounted at curved profile of front face of leading car, the door can be opened easily with small force, and the door is supported rigidly and steadily with compact configuration. The interior of the door 14 and side part of front face of leading car 10b are connected pivotally by an upper arm 36, lower arm 31, and first link bar 40 so that a parallel linkage is composed, thereby enabling horizontal movement of the door. A stopper mechanism 43 is composed such that an end of a second link bar 48 is connecting pivotally to the first link bar 40, the bracket 46 having an oblong hole 44 is attached to a frame 26 of the carbody, a pin 50 fixed to the other end of the second link bar 48 is received in the oblong hole 44, and the door can be stopped at its full open position when the pin 50 contacts an end of the oblong hole 44.
