CONTAINER CARRIER Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to vehicles designed for carrying loads to be protected from vibration. Proposed container carrier has frame 1, vertical posts 3 with support wheels 4 secured on horizontal shelf 2 and container cushioning mechanism made in form of two-member shock absorbers. Each shock absorber has guide tie-rod 6 whose upper hinge joint is coupled with frame by mans of flexible member 5, and lower hinge joint is connected with container. It has also damping tie-rod 7 whose upper hinge joint is connected with upper hinge joint of guide tie-rod, and lower hinge joint is connected with container. With guide tie-rods being turned relative to upper hinge joints, lengths of damping tie rods remain constant within the limits of free longitudinal travel of container. Lengths of damping tie-rods are changed by damping members out of the limits of free longitudinal travel of container. EFFECT: improved reliability. 3 dwg
