Abstract (en)

A car body (8) is supported on a bogie frame (4) through an air spring (5). Along the width direction of the car body (8), a torsion bar (11) is provided on the bogie frame (4). At both ends of the torsion bar (11), links (15) for inclining the car body (8), through levers (13) are provided. Accordingly, a rolling displacement of the car body is restricted and a vertical displacement is not restricted. Due to the inclined geometry of the levers (13) towards the center longitudinal plane of the car body (8), the car body is tilted in the proper direction when an excessive centrifugal acceleration occurs. An inclination device having a light weight structure, a good riding comfort, and a high failsafe characteristic can be obtained. <IMAGE>
