High speed bogie

A bogie with pivoting frame members for high-speed rail vehicles formed by two rigid bogie longitudinal beams having lateral extensions which are pivotal in vertical direction relative to each other though in the horizontal plane being rigid and firm relative to each other, in which said longitudinal beams are interconnected by elastic wear-resistant means which are arranged symmetrically to and in the region of the vertical central transverse plane of the bogie, and in which said bogie has at least one pivot point for the pivoting frame members with the upper structure of the rail vehicle and with each axle bearing having axle bearing guiding means, the improvement in combination therewith comprising a wear-resistant means interconnecting the central areas of the bogie longitudinal beams together with one wear-resistant means each interconnecting the longitudinal beam ends by way of the lateral extensions, and that said wear-resistant means which is located within the region of the vertical transverse plane is designed as an intermediate joint permitting movements solely about the vertical axis whereas the wear-resistant means at the ends form components of horizontal spring leaves which form the lateral extensions of the bogie, the ends of said spring leaves being connected to the rigid lateral extensions arranged at the ends of said longitudinal means.
