WALKING PROPULSIVE DEVICE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: walking devices.

SUBSTANCE: proposed walking propulsive device contains wheel hub, pairs of levers hinge coupled with supports. Supports pivots are hinge connected with housing of hinge joints arranged over periphery of free of hub hinge coupled with axle or shaft of machine through said pairs of articulated levers. Prestressed rubber pads in contact with support of lever are hinge-mounted in housing space. In free position, pivots are arranged square to axes of levers under action of forces of prestressing of pads. With wheel rotating, forward heel of pivot touches support area bending, by gravity of propulsive device on pads, joints of levers relative to their axles and creating reactive force directed to side of movement relative to support area when weight of propulsive device is transferred to forward pivot.

EFFECT: equalizing action of forces on device at cocking of support area relative to direction of movement of machine.
