Description:
The object of the invention is a double-unit pocket wagon.
The purpose of the invention is a solution aimed at simplifying the construction of the wagon, allowing a reduction in the cost of manufacturing the wagon. The essence of the construction of the two-unit pocket wagon, which according to the invention consists of two load-bearing frames supported on two-axle bogies, equipped with typical pull-and-bump devices and saddles for fastening semitrailers, is characterised by the fact that in each unit the load-bearing frame is supported in the front part on a sprung wheelset, moreover, a saddle is located above the sprung wheelset of the load-bearing frame. According to another advantageous feature of the invention, the front parts of the load-bearing frames of the wagon units are connected to each other by means of a standard screw coupling and by means of bumpers used in short-coupled wagons. According to another advantageous feature of the invention, the front parts of the load-bearing frames of the wagon units are connected to each other by means of a standard screw coupling.
Benefits:
- A beneficial effect of the invention is the elimination of the center bogie found in current two-axle pocket wagons, thus simplifying its design and reducing the cost of manufacturing the wagon and its subsequent operation.
