AUTOMOBILE SIMULATOR Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G09B9/04 

FIELD: transport engineering; simulators.

SUBSTANCE: invention to automobile simulators with imitation of emergency situations. Proposed device contains cart and driver's seat with steering wheel. Cart has four wheels and it can move along tilted rails to stop. Tilting of rails can be changed by means of joint and jack. Bumper with brake springs and fixed gear are installed on cart. Driver's seat is installed on cart on ball bearing, steering wheel installed before seat is coupled by rods with control handle and with movable gear inside hood. Mounted on seat are brake lever and turning device, idle brake pedal and seat belt. Turning device providing rotation of driver's seat in motion has one or more knobs providing throwing up of cart wheels in motion and installed on rails and one or more resilient pipes providing side collision or skidding of driver's seat and installed from different sides of rails. Fixed gear and movable gear form driver's seat turning mechanism providing alignment of hood axis with cart axis owing to rotation of movable gear around fixed gear. Engagement and disengagement of gears is provided by control handle coupled by rod with steering wheel. Pointer and scale to determine degree of training of driver are applied, respectively, to hood and stop.

EFFECT: increased skill of driver in emergency situations and vestibular stability of driver.
