GEAR DETERMINING CONVERGENCE ANGLE OF WHEELS OF AUTOMOBILE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: automobile equipment. SUBSTANCE: gear presents clamp embracing wheel from outside and has rod 1 with two perpendicular shelves 2 on two legs 3 each. Clamp is approached to wheels of automobile so that tyres rest against lateral rod and one wheel in this case touches shelves with side walls of tyre at same height from ground. Difference of dimensions in two points between second shelf and tyre or wheel rim of second wheel gives value of convergence. Rod is screwed off under weight of shelves so that all four legs touch ground to maintain stability of gear on bumpy site. EFFECT: simplified design, enhanced functional reliability and stability. 2 cl, 4 dwg
