CONTAINER CARRIER Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to container carriage. Proposed container carrier has frame 1 with support wheels 2 and container up-springing mechanism made in form of frame and wheel paired members, each provided with equal-length guide tie-rods 8 and 9. Upper ends of guide tie- rods 8 and 9. upper ends of guide tie-rods of frame paired member are hinge-connected to each other on frame of container carrier. Lower ends of guide tie-rods of wheel paired member are hinge-connected to each other on axle of wheel on container carrier. Free ends of guide tie-rods of both paired members are hinge-connected in pairs and are provided with elastic damping elements hinge- mounted on container carrier frame, thus forming double-link supporting-and-turning shock absorber and providing elastic and non- elastic damping of low and high oscillations of container. EFFECT: enhanced reliability, reduced overall dimensions, improved smoothness of running. 3 dwg
