Abstract (en)

An articulated track-bound vehicle comprising two vehicle units (10, 12) supported on a common undercarriage (14) is provided with an articulated coupling (18) for connecting the two vehicle units (10, 12) and for allowing the two vehicle units (10, 12) to rotate with respect to each other and with an abutment means (44) for limiting transverse motion of the coupling (18) relative to the undercarriage (14) and for allowing predetermined transverse play of the coupling (18) with respect to the undercarriage (14). The abutment means (44) consists of a roller (46) connected to the coupling (18) and inserted into an opening of a plate fixed to the undercarriage. The walls of the opening have a cam-like shape such that the predetermined transverse play is variable as a function of the angular position of an element (42) of the articulated coupling (18) with respect to the undercarriage (14). <IMAGE>
