a pendulum support, the carrier apparatus being connectable to the at least one first longitudinal member via the pendulum support, the carrier apparatus being L-shaped, and a first leg of the carrier apparatus being connectable to the at least one first longitudinal member via the pendulum support. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first leg is tubular and permanently connected to a second leg of the carrier apparatus formed as a rocker. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pendulum support is connected to the carrier apparatus via a first pivot joint and is connectable to the at least first longitudinal member via a second pivot joint. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein a first joint longitudinal axis of the first pivot joint is arranged at a right angle to a second joint longitudinal axis of the second pivot joint. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carrier apparatus is connectable to the at least first longitudinal member in an articulated manner with respect to a bogie transverse axis. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carrier apparatus is one of supported on the bogie frame and supported on the further bogie component along a direction of a bogie longitudinal axis. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carrier apparatus is supportable on at least one first wheel set bearing housing of the bogie via at least one first support. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 7, wherein the at least first support includes a third pivot joint at a first end and a fourth pivot joint at a second end. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 8, wherein the at least first support has an angled or curved configuration. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 7, wherein the at least first support has an angled or curved configuration. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carrier apparatus is supportable on a crossmember of the bogie frame via at least one first support. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 11, wherein the at least first support includes a third pivot joint at a first end and a fourth pivot joint at a second end. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 11, wherein the at least first support has an angled or curved configuration. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carrier apparatus is supportable on an anti-roll support of the rail vehicle via at least one first support. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 14, wherein the at least first support includes a third pivot joint at a first end and a fourth pivot joint at a second end. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 14, wherein the at least first support has an angled or curved configuration. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carrier apparatus is connectable in an articulated and elastic manner to a second longitudinal member of the bogie frame; and wherein a second leg of the carrier apparatus is connectable to the second longitudinal member via an elastic element. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The carrier assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carrier assembly comprises an antenna carrier assembly. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) A bogie of a rail vehicle having the carrier assembly as claimed in claim 1.
