METHOD OF ASSEMBLING ARTICULATED VEHICLE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: method of assembling articulated vehicle 1 comes to the following: front semi-frame A and rear semi-frame B are interconnected by means of hinge joint 4 for turning relative to each other around horizontal longitudinal axis 2. Propeller shaft is passed through inner hole of hinge joint. Prior to installing hinge joint, zone of intersection of car longitudinal axis and propeller shaft axis is located, and hinge joint is installed in point of intersection. Load-bearing members 5 and damping members 6 are installed on semi-frames. These members are arranged at angle towards each other, and frame parts are detachably rigidly connected to each other by means of these members. EFFECT: enhanced quality of coupling. 2 dwg
