ROLLING STOCK SEARCHLIGHT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: rolling stock. SUBSTANCE: in the body front part the searchlight has a light source with a reflector. The body is rigidly jointed to the bearing frame mounted on bogies and hinge-fixed by means of the central pivot. The light source with the reflector is rigidly mounted in a swivel bracket, having the upper and lower half-axles forming the searchlight swivelling axle. When the rolling stock enters a curvilinear track section, the front bogie under the action of track rail curvature turns through angle β. The central pivot also turns through angle b and through a kinematic coupling turns the bracket with the light source and reflector around the vertical axis in the horizontal plane. EFFECT: improved design. 4 cl, 2 dwg
