ABSTRACT:
A vehicle adapted to be selectively operated with or without guide rails or tracks, the vehicle including a steerable vehicle axle means having steerable wheels mounted thereon and at least one non-steerable vehicle axle having non-steerable wheels mounted thereon. The non-steerable vehicle axle is mounted so as to be pivotable in its entirety about a centrally positioned vertically extending pivot axis. Springs are provided for suspending a superstructure of the vehicle with a spring bracket fixedly mounted to an axle body of the non-steerable vehicle axle for supporting the springs at the vehicle. A ring mount segment is provided for mounting the springs at outer ends of the spring bracket so as to be horizontally movable with at least two supporting rollers, each having an axis of rotation disposed approximately toward a pivot center of the non-steerable axis, being attached to an underside of the springs. The supporting rollers are adapted to roll along a flat top side of the ring mount segments and at least one of a shape-mating lateral guide or a safety device is arranged on both sides of the supporting rollers adjacent a mounting arrangement for the supporting rollers. The guide is adapted to engage lateral edges of the ring mount segments and to be inserted, on a freely projecting underside of the ring mount segments, in a lateral groove provided in a shoulder formed at the supporting roller mounting device.
