DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUS AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF VEHICLE STEERABLE WHEELS TOE-IN IN MOTION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B62D6/04 G01M17/06 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: device contains steerable wheels, strain sensors, electric power source, electromagnetic coil, reservoir with operating fluid, pump and reversible mechanism for changing transverse control arm operation length. Steerable wheels are mounted via bearings on axel with swivel members. The bearings are seated on bushings with shoulders. Strain sensors are fixed on butt ends of bushing shoulders, connected per bridge scheme and are sensors of lateral reaction of road. Electromagnetic coil core is rigidly connected with spool of operation fluid flow distributing device. Swivel member has four axial grooves and bushing shoulders have axial projections. Outer shoulder of bushing has two diametrically located projections resting on washer. Inner shoulder of bushing has four projections, where two diametrically opposite projections rest on bottom of swivel member grooves and other two diametrically opposite projections do not rest on anything.

EFFECT: higher accuracy and reliability of continuous automatic adjustment of vehicle steerable wheels toe-in in motion.
