DEVICE DETERMINING ANGLE OF CAMBER OF WHEELS OF MOTOR VEHICLE AND DEVICE DETERMINING ANGLE OF CONVERGENCE OF WHEELS OF MOTOR VEHICLE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: diagnostics and adjustment of camber and convergence of wheels of automobiles. SUBSTANCE: it is proposed to use I-shaped frame formed by guide and thrust leg mounted on it for movement and registration. Shield-bob with longitudinal test line which position relative to measurement scale is used to evaluate camber of wheels is employed for determination of camber of wheels. Test of measured angle of camber is checked by level gauge and point light source. For determination of convergence of wheels there are used four ┐┘

-shaped frames anchored on wheels of automobile. Each thrust leg carries measurement scale through which lines playing role of centering members are passed. Difference of readings of measurement scales of I-shaped frames anchored on front wheels determines angle of their convergence. EFFECT: design of universal device applicable for any type of wheels. 10 cl, 2 dwg
