ABSTRACT:
A railway vehicle bogie has a pair of levers and twos pairs of links driven by the pair of levers so as to swivel axles. The front and rear axle boxes are spaced longitudinally of the bogie frame and are angularly displaceably mounted at the centers thereof to the bogie frame. The axle boxes carry a vehicle body thereon and support axles therein. First links are angularly displaceably connected to the front axle box while second links are angularly displaceably connected to the rear axle box. A pair of levers are spacedly disposed transversely of the bogie frame and angularly displaceably connected at their intermediate portions to the bogie frame. One of the levers is angularly and displaceably connected to the distal ends of one of the first links and one of the second links thereto while the other is angularly and displaceably connected to the distal ends of the other of the first links and the other of the second links thereto. When the body yaws laterally as well as angularly displaces relative to the bogie frame, the levers are driven into angular displacement in opposite directions such that the first and second axle boxes are angularly displaced relative to the bogie frame.
