Abstract:
Assembly (1) for a railway vehicle, of the type comprising a first chassis (8) and a second chassis (9) which is connected to the first chassis (8) to tilt laterally with respect thereto on each side of a position of rest, the assembly (1) further comprising means (10) for moving the second chassis (9) laterally,wherein the second chassis (9) is connected to the first chassis (8) by at least two laterally-spaced pivoting links (14) and the movement means (10) comprise an arm (28) for driving the second chassis (9) laterally which is connected to the second chassis at a point (36) located laterally roughly mid-way between the two pivoting links (14) when the second chassis (9) is in the position of rest, which arm (28) is mounted so that it can pivot about said longitudinal axis (Xâ€”X), wherein the driving arm (28) is connected to the second chassis (9) at a point (36) which roughly describes an arc of a circle centered on said longitudinal axis (Xâ€”X) when the second chassis (9) tilts with respect to the first chassis (8) in the vicinity of its position of rest.
