METHOD OF DISPLACEMENT OF LOAD ALONG SUPPORT SURFACE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in wheeled structures carrying loads of different mass. According to proposed method, load rest on wheel axle in lower quarter of wheel located from side of direction of its movement. Resting of load on axle is provided by member coupled with axle. Line passing through points of resting of load on member and on axle of wheel is arranged at angles to vertical. Surface along which load is displaced is arranged at angle from 1,5^° to 10^°. EFFECT: improved efficiency of transportation of load along support surface by reducing consumption of energy owing to use of gravity force. 5cl, 2 dwg
