VEHICLE WITH ADJUSTABLE ANGLE OF TILTING Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to vehicle 1 provided with frame 2 with upper part 3 and rear 4 which can be tilted relative to each other. Vehicle 1 has three or more wheels 7, 7', 13. front wheel 13 can be turned relative to steering column 18. In this case pickup 24 defines angle of turning between front wheel 13 and steering column 18 and, depending on angle of turning, brings into action means 9, 9' to change angle of tilting of vehicle. As a result of subsequent tilting of front part 3 of frame and change of speed of vehicle motion, front wheel 13 and angle of tilting will automatically set correct level making it possible to negotiate turn, preserving stability at given speed. Invention provides simple and reliable control of tilting owing to difference in angle turning between steering column 18 flexibly connected with front wheel, and front wheel 13. EFFECT: provision of reliable control of tilting. 23 cl, 8 dwg
