ABSTRACT:
A damping device for use with an articulation joint of an articulated omnibus. Between the front vehicle and the rear vehicle connected with the outer race ring of a live ring or between the rear vehicle and the front vehicle connected with the inner race ring of the live ring a hydraulic cylinder or shock absorber is arranged so that in the extended, in-line alignment position of the omnibus it is in its inner dead center position. It is connected hydraulically in parallel with a further hydraulic cylinder or shock absorber. The latter is preferably placed slightly obliquely and is spaced from the longitudinal median plane of the articulated omnibus when the omnibus is in the in-line setting, the hydraulic cylinder or shock absorber being pivotally connected at one first end with one of the two vehicles and at a second end to that race ring of the live ring which is connected to the other of the two vehicles.
