VEHICLE (VERSIONS) AND METHOD OF ITS MOTION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B62D57/32 

FIELD: transportation of loads.

SUBSTANCE: according to proposed method, resting of chassis on support surface at one side is interrupted and free turning of chassis together with load cabin under action of own weight around point of hinge connection of chassis with second support in contact at this moment with support surface is provided. After passing of chassis with load cabin of lower point and continuation of movement under action of inertia forces of other side of acting support, resting of chassis on support surface which has been interrupted is restored and then resting of chassis on support surface from side of acting support is then interrupted. So, cyclic repeated turns of chassis with load cabin under action of their weight is provided. According to first version of interruption of chassis resting of support surface from one of its sides, matched change of height of acting support of chassis at its other side is provided by value commensurable in each moment of time with change of height of load cabin. According to other versions, at movement of chassis under action of its own weight, due to available kinematic couplings, chassis shifts belt of transport platform which, in its turn, displaces load cabin. When chassis moves under action of its weight, force impulse can be conveyed to chassis to compensate for friction in units of vehicle and provide lifting of chassis under inertia forces to required height.

EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities of vehicle without limitation in weight of handled load and character of support surface, no necessity of powerful engine for movement.
