Abstract:
A pivoted bogie running gear assembly for a rail-borne vehicle, defining a longitudinal direction, said running gear assembly comprising:a frame (2) defining a longitudinal axis;a primary spring system secured to said frame (2);a two-axle traveling gear secured to said primary spring system;a secondary spring system (28, 29) interpositioned on said frame (2);a pendulum carrier (30) supported by said secondary spring system (28, 29), said pendulum carrier (30) extending transverse the longitudinal direction of the vehicle;a plurality of mounting pendulums (54, 55, 56, 67) extending out from said pendulum carrier (30), each of said plurality of mounting pendulums (54, 55, 56, 57) defines two ends with a first end of said two ends pivotally secured to said pendulum carrier (30) to define a first lateral distance between said first ends of a respective pair of said pendulums;a transverse cross piece (31) pivotally connected to second ends of said mounting pendulums (54,55,56,57) to define a second lateral distance between said second ends of said respective pair of said pendulums; wherein, said second lateral distance is greater than said first lateral distance, said cross piece (31) including two traverse crossbars (46,47) extending transverse to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and beyond said pendulum carrier (30) in front of and there behind, wherein, the two traverse crossbars (46, 47) are supported by said pendulum carrier (30).
