DEVICE FOR REGULATION OF TOE-IN ANGLE OF VEHICLE CONTROL WHEELS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: vehicle manufacturing. SUBSTANCE: device has base, load unit, which contains rests against wheel hubs, and unit for toe-in angle measuring. Toe-in angle measuring unit 4 has longitudinal rod 5, which is spring-loaded towards base 1. Unit 4 is mounted in supports 6 of base 1 for reciprocal motion. Cross beam 7 is hinged at one end of rod 5. Immovable cross beam 8, which carries measuring devices, for example, clockwise indicators, is attached to another end of rod 5. Both measuring devices and hinged cross beam 7 are engaged through push rods 17 with measuring heads 11 and 12 which touch face surfaces of front and rear wheel hubs 14 and 15. One pair of measuring heads is made as two-branch lever, another one as one-branch lever. Load unit has traverse rod 19, which carries rests 20 against front wheel hubs 14. Traverse rod 19 is hinged at dynamometer, which is mounted for reciprocal motion by means of screw pair positioned on base 1. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 4 dwg
