BUFFER TRAVEL STOP Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B60G7/04 B60F3/00 

FIELD: transport engineering; vehicle suspensions.

SUBSTANCE: according to proposed invention, amphibian vehicle contains buffer travel stop with member including part of stop coming in contact with part of vehicle suspension for limiting travel of suspension system relative to vehicle body and in which said member is installed for selective displacement between working position in which part of stop is installed for coming in contact with part of vehicle suspension system, and idling position, in which part of stop is out of contact with part of vehicle suspension system. Proposed buffer travel stop has device for moving part of stop between working and idling positions. Proposed buffer travel stop precludes excessive upward travel of wheel when vehicle is moving along ground and does not interfere with movement of suspension upwards for retraction when preparing vehicle for operation on water.

EFFECT: improved operation reliability.
